Bosch 45 cm wide fully integrated dishwashers are slimline machines that sit behind a cabinet door to match your kitchen units. Each takes 10 place settings, so they suit smaller households or kitchens without room for a 60 cm machine. They come from Bosch Series 2 and Series 4, and all of them can connect to the internet.

The Series 2 models keep things simple: five wash programmes, push-button controls, LED indicators, two spray heads and a cutlery basket. They are rated D or E for energy and run at 46 dB. Some add InfoLight, which shines a red light onto the floor while a cycle runs and turns off when the dishes are ready. That helps with a fully integrated door, because there's no display on the front to check. The Series 4 moves up to a B energy rating, a quieter 44 dB, six programmes, a third spray head and a display showing the time left. It also has a cutlery tray in place of the basket, which lays cutlery flat on its own level and leaves more room below for plates and pans.

Because capacity is the same throughout, you can narrow the choice on three things: energy rating, noise and how you like to store cutlery. In an open-plan room, or if running costs matter most, the Series 4 is worth a closer look. For simple everyday washing, the Series 2 covers the essentials.
