Product information

Please note: This product is not available in our shops for viewing. However, you can still place your order in store.

With an A+ in energy rating, and two A ratings for washing and drying, the Bosch SMS40C12GB dishwasher will be welcomed into any home.

Precision engineering has resulted in a ServoLock door on this unit, which allows the door to close virtually by itself and with minimum effort on your part. A child lock protects from scalding, and tamperproof controls ensure washes are not interrupted by curious hands!

Thanks to the ActiveWater hydraulic water system, this dishwasher uses 12 litres of water per wash, and every single drop is used to the maximum. The SMS40C12GB has a 70°C intensive cycle to cut through and clean heavily soiled pots and pans, and if you are looking for more speed, a dedicated 45ºC quick wash will clean lightly soiled items in just 29 minutes.

The Bosch SMS40C12GB runs extremely quietly at just 48dB and features a 1-to-24-hour time delay option, so you can set it to run during lower energy tariff times. And when running at night, the integration of internal anti-flood technology gives you extra peace of mind, automatically cutting off the water supply if leakage or flooding occurs.

The upper basket is height-adjustable, even when fully loaded, and the SMS40C12GB features a removable Vario basket as a more flexible alternative to a cutlery basket, allowing you to effortlessly unload cutlery. With 3 different loading heights thanks to the Rackmatic height-adjustable top basket, and 4 foldable racks and shelves throughout the machine, a large variety of dishes can easily be accommodated. This appliance also includes a large item spray head that can be utilised for getting your oven shelves or barbecue grill clean.

Bosch guarantees that if an appliance is discontinued, its major components will be available for at least 10 years afterwards in the event of a part needing replacement.

Bosch SMS40C12GB Dishwasher, White 3.8 5 4 4
All Bosched up - poor quality product I've had reliable Bosch dishwashers for years, but this model has let me down. I took deliver of my first one in January, to replace a new Beko (also from John Lewis) which failed , after just 3 weeks, on Xmas Eve . The Bosch was delivered and supposedly tested, but never actually used as I discovered the same afternoon that the door hinges were distorted and the door would not open properly. So after another dishwasher free week or two, back it went. The replacement was fine for about three weeks, then starting showing an error code. Two Bosch engineer visits, no use of, and three weeks later, I eventually learn it has a crack by the pump, probably a manufacturing fault, that was unreparable. So I am now waiting for Bosch to get yet another in stock to deliver. I have had no more than 3 week's use of this Bosch model which I paid for on 11 january. Don't buy this model. 11 March 2013
Does what it should! I ordered this dishwasher because I my old one was a) not very good and b) beginning to play up. I had a Bosch slimline DW in my old house, which was brilliant, but when we moved the fitted kitchen had a standard sized Indesit, as well as an Indesit WM, which walked across the room - that got replaced with a Seimens immediately. This Bosch washes well, has enough variety of programmes and you can adjust the shelves and plate holders to accommodate pots and pans. My only caution is nothing to do with the product - but when I bought this it said Free Removal of your old machine - but you had to tick a box (labelled with another option as well) to so - and I didn't - getting the old one taken away is now a pain as I have to arrange it and as I am currently unwell it is not my first priority - so now have old dishwasher in garden for weeks! So make sure you tick the box if you want this option! 13 December 2012
Dishwasher Once again excellent all round. Great service from John Lewis as usual...and a fine product. Easy to install, simple to understand and does the job really well. I will, of course, be buying my next large appliance from this store. Thank you. 28 November 2012
Posh Bosch A terrific addition to the kitchen. Smart looking, easy to fit, produces very clean dishes and in addition is very quiet. 09 October 2012
