Bosch 13 Place Settings Free-Standing Dishwasher (SMS66GI01I)
Editorial verdict
Grounded in published specifications
Summary verdict: 9.5 litres a cycle against roughly 40 litres of hand washing is the number that makes the case, and 46 dB means it can run overnight without being heard. The honest Indian caveat is utensils: burnt masala on a kadhai base needs soaking first, because a dishwasher sprays rather than scrubs, and people who expect otherwise are the ones who stop using it after a month.
Who should buy this
Households of four or more who will pre-soak burnt utensils and run it overnight.
Who should avoid this
Anyone expecting it to remove burnt-on masala without pre-soaking.

What does a 13 place setting mean on a dishwasher?
A 13-place setting dishwasher means the machine can wash the standard dishes, glassware, and cutlery used by 13 people in a single cycle. What It Means for Everyday Use : • Capacity Guide: A 13-place setting capacity is a standard full-size dishwasher (usually a 60cm width model). It works well for households of 3 to 4 people. • Pots and Pans: The 13-place count assumes standard dinnerware. If you are washing large pots, mixing bowls, or bulky pans, they will take up space and reduce the total number of dishes you can fit in a single load.

Listing was accurate, which is rarer than it should be
About 9.5 litres a cycle against roughly 40 by hand. That was the whole reason I picked this over the cheaper options, and it is exactly as described. Also worth mentioning: 46 dB, quiet enough to run overnight in an Indian flat. No regrets after two months.

Wrong product for my situation
Genuinely my own fault. Posting so somebody else does not repeat it. The listing says who should avoid this: Anyone expecting it to remove burnt-on masala without pre-soaking. That was my situation and I ordered anyway. It does what it says on the page — it just was not the thing I needed.

Happy with it, but go in informed
About 9.5 litres a cycle against roughly 40 by hand. The one thing to know before ordering: Burnt kadhai and cooker bases need pre-soaking. To be fair that is written on the product page. I skimmed past it and had to rearrange things afterwards.

Bought it on the numbers, and the numbers were right
I compared four of these on paper before ordering, so the line I actually checked was "Drying". The page says Condensation drying — no heating element, so plastics stay damp, and that is what turned up. About 9.5 litres a cycle against roughly 40 by hand.
