Bosch SHV9PCM3N

I’ve been using this dishwasher for two months now after going without one for six years, and it’s been a game changer! I followed the directions—no pre-rinsing—and loaded everything that could fit. Even the dirtiest dishes, pans, and glasses come out spotless. Honestly, I’m kind of shocked at how much cleaner my drinking glasses are compared to when I hand-washed them—I was ready to replace them, and now they look brand new! The top rack is perfect for silverware, lids, spatulas, and all those odd-shaped items. Since it was installed during my kitchen remodel, I’ve been running it multiple times a day, and I even noticed a $20 drop in my water bill last month. Guess it really does use less water than hand-washing!

We replaced our older Bosch with this newer model, and while it cleans just as well (which is impressive) and is even quieter, there are a few things I’m not thrilled about. I really don’t like the Home Connect features—it’s frustrating not having a simple delay start button anymore. I don’t want to use an app just to wash dishes! The smaller cutlery basket is also a bit of a letdown, but that’s more of a personal preference. My main gripe is the poor drying performance. Despite using the recommended rinse aid and running the auto cycle plus Crystal Dry, there’s still a lot of water left on silicone and plastic items—much more than with our older Bosch. We bought this one in a hurry when our old unit gave out, and while it’s fine, I wish we’d had more time to explore other options.

I swapped out my perfectly fine dishwasher because I kept hearing about how amazing Bosch dishwashers are. It really is super quiet, and I love the floor light that lets me know it’s running!

We previously had an ultra-quiet LG dishwasher, but it gave out after about 5 and a half years. According to Consumer Reports, Bosch was rated more reliable, and the model we chose was said to be nearly as quiet as our old LG. To our surprise, the Bosch is even quieter and dries better in less time! We opted for the custom panel version and are still waiting for it to be installed. I’m thinking the panel will make it even quieter, which is exciting. Big thanks to Bosch for crafting such a fantastic appliance!

It cleans beautifully, runs quietly, and has a smart design. I especially love the time display projected on the floor—such a handy feature. Definitely a must-have for anyone in the family!

I went all out and got the top-of-the-line model, but I’m struggling a bit with the cycles. With my old Bosch, I could easily shorten the cycle while still choosing the dry feature. This one? Not so straightforward. Still, I’m determined to figure it out because Bosch really does make great products!

Our new dishwasher excels at cleaning and operates at a pleasantly low noise level. However, I’ve noticed that the lower rack can easily slip off its track, although it’s simple enough to fix.

We’re really into Bosch products and had our last dishwasher from them for over 20 years! Setting up the new one was pretty straightforward, but I’ve got a couple of bones to pick. For the price tag, it should definitely come with all the essentials for installation, like the water line and the connector to the dishwasher. They could also do a better job explaining what you need to grab when buying from sellers. Plus, that water inlet? It should be metal instead of plastic—especially at this price—to avoid those annoying cross-threading problems when hooking up the water line. But honestly, we’re thrilled with the new dishwasher! It’s way quieter, and that third rack for silverware is a game changer. I’d recommend it to anyone, just keep those little things in mind!
