Favourite
Save a frequently used combination of a wash programme and an additional function, then easily start it with a single command.
PerfectDry for thoroughly dried dishes
The PerfectDry technology helps achieve excellent drying results, even for plastic dishes which often retain water. It uses the natural mineral zeolite, which absorbs moisture during the wash cycle and uses it to create warm, dry air for the subsequent drying phase. This means you can put your dishes away straight after the programme finishes, all with very low energy consumption.
Open Assist opens the dishwasher with a touch
The Open Assist function lets you open the fully integrated BOSCH SMD8YCX04E Serie 8 dishwasher with a simple push on its front panel. The door will open slightly, allowing you to then comfortably open it fully to load or unload your dishes. This handleless solution is particularly well-suited for modern kitchens with clean and unified front surfaces.
Stainless steel with a lower carbon footprint
Our class A dishwashers, made in Germany, contain a proportion of CO₂-reduced stainless steel. This specially produced material is carefully monitored and assigned to these dishwashers via a certified mass balance system.* Compared to conventional stainless steel, it has a carbon footprint that is up to 40% lower.**
*During production, CO₂-reduced stainless steel is mixed with conventional stainless steel, but is allocated to our energy efficiency class A dishwashers based on a mass balance calculation (according to ISO 22095), verified and confirmed by TÜV Rheinland.
**CO₂-reduced stainless steel consists of 95% higher-quality recycled material. The comparison relates to the conventional stainless steel used in the production of our dishwashers.
More intensive washing with the Extra Clean Zone
The Extra Clean Zone helps to remove stubborn dirt from dishes placed in the upper basket. Three rotating water jets intensify soaking and spraying in this area without needing to increase the amount of detergent or the water temperature. Simply activate the function and the dishwasher will provide a more intensive clean exactly where it's needed.
TimeLight projects the programme status onto the floor
With a fully integrated dishwasher, you don't have to open the door to see how much longer the programme will run. The TimeLight function projects information about the current wash cycle, including the remaining time, directly onto the floor. This way, you can always keep an eye on the dishwasher's progress.
Emotion Light illuminates the interior
The Emotion Light function provides clear illumination of the dishes inside the dishwasher. A light at the top automatically switches on when you open the door and turns off again when you close it. This makes loading and unloading dishes more convenient, even in low ambient light.
Flexible Max Flex Pro baskets
The Max Flex Pro baskets are designed to make it easy to store different types of dishes while holding them securely in place during the wash. The adaptable layout allows you to make better use of the available space, and the improved sliding system ensures the baskets move smoothly during loading and unloading.
VarioDrawer Pro adds extra space
The VarioDrawer Pro cutlery drawer creates a separate level for cutlery, ladles, small kitchen utensils, or even espresso cups. Fold-down elements let you adapt the space for cutlery with wider handles, and lowered sections on the sides offer a place for very small items. In addition, red-coloured touchpoints help you quickly identify the adjustment options.
Certified hygienic performance
The Eco 50°C programme achieves a level of hygiene certified by the Institute for Integrative Hygiene and Virology, effectively eliminating viruses such as influenza and coronaviruses. An even higher level of hygiene can be achieved with the Intensive 70°C programme or the Machine Care maintenance cycle, which are also effective against more resistant enveloped and non-enveloped viruses.
Dosage assistant for efficient detergent use
The dosage assistant helps to use the detergent tablet evenly and effectively. After being released from the dispenser, the tablet drops into a special tray at the top of the basket, where it gradually dissolves. This allows the detergent to be distributed evenly throughout the entire cycle, contributing to clean dishes with no residue.
Smart Start chooses the right moment
Smart Start helps you manage your appliance's energy consumption more strategically. This function automatically selects the dishwasher's start time based on one of two presets you can configure in the Home Connect app, which considers 2 parameters within the wash cycle: The availability and share of renewable energy (such as solar or wind) or lower energy costs when your electricity rates are at their lowest.*
*Cost savings require a compatible high and low electricity tariff switching system. Optimisation is performed either to maximise the share of renewable energy in the grid or to reduce costs. The availability of functions may vary from country to country.
Additional programmes to download
You can expand the dishwasher's range of options using the Programme Download function. Through the Home Connect app, you can get additional wash programmes that better suit your specific needs or type of dishware. This allows the BOSCH SMD8YCX04E Serie 8 to adapt even to situations for which the basic set of programmes is not ideal.
Colour TFT display for clear control
The colour TFT display clearly shows information about the selected programme, active functions, the current cycle status, and the remaining time. The combination of easy-to-read text and graphic symbols makes it easier to navigate the settings, and the display also provides practical instructions for using the dishwasher. It will also alert you when salt or rinse aid needs to be refilled.
ActiveWater uses water efficiently
We designed the ActiveWater system to wash dishes thoroughly while minimising resource consumption. Instead of simply using more water, it uses it more efficiently. Through targeted spraying, rapid circulation, and advanced filtration, our dishwashers achieve hygienically clean and sparkling dishes. Thanks to this efficient design, we achieve these results with less water and, therefore, less energy to heat it.
Quiet operation with SilentPowerDrive
Dishwashers with the SilentPowerDrive ensure efficient washing at a low noise level. They are equipped with a brushless motor designed for energy-efficient operation. The motor helps reduce noise caused by friction and contributes to the smooth and quiet running of the appliance.
10-year anti-rust warranty
High-quality materials and interior workmanship allow us to offer a 10-year warranty against the internal cavity rusting through from the inside. The dishwasher's construction is thus prepared for long-term daily use.
Intensive Zone for heavily soiled pots and pans
The Intensive Zone function boosts the washing power in the lower basket by increasing the spray pressure and water temperature. This makes it ideal for heavily soiled pots and pans, while you can wash more delicate dishes in the top basket at the same time. The function can be combined with various washing programmes depending on the current load.
Automatic programmes adapt the wash to your dishes
You don't have to guess the ideal settings every time. Automatic programmes adjust the water temperature and rinse cycle based on the amount of crockery and how dirty it is. The dishwasher uses exactly the right amount of water and the correct settings for the current load.
Get an overview of your usage with Statistics
The Statistics function in the Home Connect app gives you a clear overview of how you actually use your appliances. You can see which programmes and settings you choose most often, as well as your total energy and water consumption over time. Thanks to the 12-month history, you can easily track how your choices affect consumption month by month – giving you a clear picture of your daily habits.
Consumption forecast before starting a programme
Wondering how much energy and water a particular programme will use? The Consumption Forecast function in the Home Connect app shows you the estimated energy and water consumption, as well as the expected duration for any combination of programme and optional function you select. This lets you calmly compare options and choose the programme that best suits the current load and your needs.
Automatic notifications sent directly to your phone
You don't have to keep checking if the dishwasher has finished. With automatic Home Connect notifications, you can receive information about the current programme status and other useful alerts on your mobile device. This makes it easy to know what's happening with your dishwasher, even when you're out of the kitchen.
Remote diagnostics makes troubleshooting easier
If the appliance isn't working correctly, Remote Diagnostics can help. After contacting customer service and with your permission, the dishwasher can be checked remotely to locate any problem and recommend a suitable solution. If a technician's visit is necessary, the service can be better prepared for the next steps thanks to the information obtained.
Control the dishwasher with your voice
Thanks to Home Connect, the BOSCH SMD8YCX04E Serie 8 dishwasher can also be linked to a compatible Amazon Alexa device, letting you control selected functions with voice commands. The availability of the relevant Alexa skill depends on your set country and language.
Silence on demand quietens the dishwasher whenever you want
When you need a bit more peace and quiet at home, you can activate Silence on Demand via the Home Connect app. The function reduces the dishwasher's noise to a minimum for up to 30 minutes, while the wash cycle continues. It's useful during a phone call, while working, or when you're taking a moment to relax.
Your favourite setting at a single touch
The Favourite Programme function lets you save a combination of a frequently used programme and an additional function. For example, you can combine Eco 50°C with the ExtraDry function and launch the saved setting later with a single touch directly on the control panel or via the Home Connect app.
Lifetime AquaStop warranty against water damage
Every Bosch appliance undergoes precise checks according to strictly defined standards for quality, performance and sustainability. All Bosch dishwashers have the AquaStop system and a lifetime warranty against water damage, as well as a ten-year warranty against rusting through of the inner tub.

Is it possible to remove the top panel of a freestanding dishwasher, and how tall will it be afterwards?
Yes, on most freestanding dishwashers the top lid can be removed. This brings the appliance's height down from 85 cm to 81.5 cm, allowing it to fit under a standard countertop.
What is the difference between freestanding/undercounter/built-in/fully integrated dishwashers?
A freestanding model has its own outer casing and top lid. An undercounter model sits under the counter but keeps its original front door and control panel. A built-in (semi-integrated) model has its front covered by a kitchen cabinet panel, though the control panel stays visible. A fully integrated model is completely hidden behind the cabinet door, with the control panel mounted on the top edge of the door.
What does it mean that the front panel on the door is not included in the delivery?
For built-in and fully integrated models, the dishwasher ships without an outer decorative panel. That panel, matching your kitchen's design, is supplied and fitted by your kitchen furniture provider.
What is the duration of each program?
Duration depends on the cycle chosen. Quick or 1-hour cycles run about 30–60 minutes, while an Auto cycle (45–65°C) takes around 2–2.5 hours. The Eco 50°C program can run 3.5 to 4 hours, since it washes at a lower temperature with longer water contact time to save energy.
On the control panel of the dishwasher, it is not possible to change the program and Eco50 is still illuminated.
A cycle is currently running or was interrupted. Reset the appliance by pressing and holding the "Start" button (or the button marked Reset 3s) for 3 seconds. The display will then show 1 minute remaining, and once that counts down and the water drains, you'll be able to select a new program.
Does the dishwasher have a function to open the door before the program ends?
Yes. Models with EfficientDry automatically open the door slightly during the drying phase, improving results and saving energy. Models with OpenAssist let you open handle-free doors just by pushing on them at any point during the cycle, which pauses the program.
What is Zeolite?
Zeolite is a natural mineral used in dishwashers with PerfectDry technology. During drying, it absorbs moisture and converts it into dry, hot air, resulting in exceptionally dry dishes — plastics included — with very little energy use. The mineral regenerates on its own and never needs replacing.
There is water in the dishwasher after delivery.
This is completely normal and actually a sign of quality control — every Bosch or Siemens dishwasher undergoes a thorough wet test at the end of the production line to confirm watertight seals and proper function of all systems.
The new dishwasher is wet inside and has an odor, is that normal?
Yes, this comes from residual water left over from factory testing, which can affect the air quality inside the sealed packaging. Before first use, we recommend running the Machine Care cycle, or a standard intensive program with cleaner and no dishes loaded.
Can the water and drain connections of the dishwasher be extended?
Yes. To extend the AquaStop inlet hose, an original BSH extension kit (part code SGZ1010) is required. The drain hose can be extended with a standard connector and suitable hose, up to a total length of 3.5 to 4 meters.
Why should I choose a more expensive dishwasher?
Higher-end models tend to run quieter and more efficiently (energy class A/B), offer premium drying via Zeolite, have more flexible interior layouts (VarioDrawer cutlery drawer, Max Flex baskets), include Home Connect connectivity, and last longer thanks to premium materials like a full stainless-steel tub.
What are the advantages of connecting a dishwasher to the Home Connect app?
Home Connect lets you start cycles remotely, receive notifications (cycle finished, low salt or rinse aid), download new specialized programs, get remote diagnostics from customer service, and set water hardness or dosing preferences directly from your phone.
The entire control panel is lit up and the dishwasher cannot be operated.
This is likely caused by an active child lock or a minor software glitch. Try holding the key/padlock icon button for 4 seconds to unlock it. If that doesn't help, unplug the dishwasher or switch off its breaker for 5 minutes to perform a hard reset.
What is the difference between EfficientDry, PerfectDry, extra drying, and OpenAssist?
EfficientDry automatically opens the door at the end of the cycle. PerfectDry uses Zeolite minerals for thorough, cupboard-ready drying without needing to open the door. Extra Dry is an optional setting that raises the final rinse temperature and extends the drying phase. OpenAssist provides an automatic touch-to-open door for handleless kitchen designs.
What is an XXL dishwasher?
An XXL dishwasher is a built-in model with a taller body — 86.5 cm instead of the standard 81.5 cm. That extra 5 cm of interior height makes it well suited to large plates, baking sheets, or tall-stemmed wine glasses.
