Comparison: SMS60l18IN vs SMS60l12IN

Both these models were launched in the latter half of 2016 in India. They were targeted at the upper middle class and are positioned as premium products in the dishwasher category.

Bosch has made several changes to the design, features & programs so that this dishwasher works perfectly for Indian utensils.

Indian cooking uses a lot of oil and masalas. The stains left after cooking on kadhai can be difficult to clean. But surprisingly, these machines work really well on them too.
