Bosch 45 cm wide built-in dishwashers are slimline machines that sit fully integrated behind a furniture door matching your kitchen units. Every model holds 10 place settings, fills from the cold supply and is internet connected. They suit smaller kitchens, flats and households of one to three people who want the dishwasher out of sight. You can also browse them as Bosch 45 cm wide fully integrated dishwashers.

The main choice is between Series 2 and Series 4. Series 2 models offer five wash programmes, a 46 dB noise level and a cutlery basket, with energy ratings of D or E depending on the model. One adds InfoLight, which projects a red light onto the floor while the cycle runs. That helps because an integrated door hides the controls. Series 4 steps up to six programmes, a quieter 44 dB, a B energy rating and a third spray head. It also shows the time left, and swaps the basket for a cutlery tray, which frees space in the lower rack.

If running costs and noise matter most, perhaps in an open-plan room, look at Series 4. Series 2 suits lighter use where a simpler machine will do. For Bosch models that stand on their own, see Bosch 45 cm wide freestanding dishwashers, or browse all Bosch slimline dishwashers.
