Product Overview

The Bosch SMT8ZC801A is a 60cm fully integrated dishwasher from the Bosch Series 8 range, designed for seamless cabinetry integration using Bosch’s VarioHinge installation system.

The integrated TFT display, EmotionLight internal illumination, and push-to-open DoorOpen Assist system further position the appliance within premium integrated kitchen environments.

PerfectDry with Zeolith technology improves drying performance across mixed loads — including plastics — while EcoSilence Drive motor technology supports quieter operation at 42 dB. Multiple automatic wash programmes, adjustable basket configurations, and targeted cleaning zones provide flexibility for both everyday loads and heavily soiled cookware.

Extra Information

The SMT8ZC801A is designed for fully integrated installation behind custom kitchen cabinetry and requires a cabinetry door panel supplied separately by the kitchen manufacturer or cabinetmaker. Bosch’s VarioHinge mechanism is engineered specifically for installations with reduced plinth heights, allowing the cabinetry panel to move upward during door opening to minimise floor clearance interference.

PerfectDry with Zeolith technology uses natural mineral material to absorb moisture and release warm air during the drying cycle. This assists with drying performance on difficult materials such as plastics while supporting lower energy consumption compared to conventional drying systems.

Home Connect functionality enables compatible smartphone control, programme monitoring, remote notifications, and access to additional programme customisation through the Bosch Home Connect platform. Wi-Fi setup and compatible mobile device are required.
