Bosch SHXM78Z55N

I’ve only used the dishwasher a few times so far, but I’m impressed with the quality, and it’s super quiet. The only thing is when it drains into our sink, the water makes a gurgling sound in the pipes, which is pretty normal. I do wish the door could stay open just a crack to let the steam out and help the dishes dry better, especially since we don’t use Jet Dry. Right now, it’s either wide open or shut. Also, I haven’t figured out how to cancel a cycle once it’s running since all the buttons are hidden during operation.

I’ve been a fan of Bosch dishwashers for years, and this 800 Series Tall Tub is my third one across different homes. Bosch has always delivered quiet, energy-efficient, and well-built machines, but this model takes it to the next level. First off, it’s *super* quiet. While it’s rated at 42 decibels, my phone app clocked it closer to 50 (not the most accurate tool, I know). Still, it’s whisper-quiet—like a library-level hum—and from a few feet away, you’d barely know it’s running.
Inside, it’s roomy and thoughtfully designed. The racks are spacious, with the lower one offering plenty of space for big pots. The top third rack is a standout feature for utensils and small items, though it also comes with a removable cutlery basket if you prefer. The Crystal Dry feature is a game-changer, leaving everything perfectly dry and shiny. Plus, the stainless steel tub and exterior add to its durability, keeping rust at bay for years to come.
Overall, this is a sleek, well-made appliance that checks all the boxes. Highly recommend it!

I can’t even begin to explain how much I love my Bosch dishwasher! We had one in our first home and it was incredible. When we upgraded the kitchen, I went with a different brand to match the appliances, and let me tell you—I regretted it the whole time. Now, in our remodeled forever home, I’m back to Bosch, and it’s AMAZING!
It cleans every dish without pre-rinsing, and it’s so quiet that I’ve accidentally opened it while it was running. I’m training myself to check for the red light on the floor before opening it! Sure, you can find a cheaper option, but it’s true—you get what you pay for. I’m 100% satisfied and can confidently say I’ll never buy anything but a Bosch again.

I recently got the Bosch SHXM78Z55N 800 Series, and wow, what an incredible dishwasher! The Crystal Dry feature is a game-changer—it dries everything, even plastics, completely bone dry. Like my previous Bosch, this one excels at cleaning, tackling even baked-on messes so that every dish comes out spotless and dry.
I also really appreciate the sleek top-panel controls and the bright LED light that signals when it’s running. That light is crucial because this machine is so quiet you’d never know it’s on without it! If you’re in the market for a new dishwasher, I can’t recommend this one enough. Bosch really knocks it out of the park!

We’re happy with how quiet this dishwasher is, but honestly, we expected better quality for the price. The bottom rack is a nightmare—it falls off the track every time it’s fully loaded and is a pain to get back into place. For a premium brand, this is super disappointing, especially since the machine is brand new.
Also, if Bosch prefers silverware on the top rack, why bother including the utensil holder on the bottom? It just adds to the confusion. Plus, the items on the top tray often come out dirty and have to be rewashed. For such an expensive appliance, these issues really shouldn’t happen. Bosch needs to work on fixing these problems!

Overall, it’s a great dishwasher, but there are a few minor issues. The touch buttons on the control panel are a bit too sensitive—sometimes they respond right away, other times it takes a few tries to get the setting you want. My wife, in particular, struggles to get the machine started.
The speed wash option is nice, but it’s a 60-minute cycle with 38 minutes spent drying, which feels a bit long for a “speed” wash. It would be really helpful if we could turn off the drying part to make it a true 60-minute cycle.
Aside from that, the machine performs really well. Dishes and glasses come out spotless, and the top tray is super handy for flat or long items. We’re happy with our purchase overall!

We’ve had this Bosch dishwasher for about five weeks now, and we’re really happy with it. It gets the dishes super clean and is pretty quiet. We had a top-of-the-line model from another brand before, but the Bosch outperforms it in almost every way. It’s not quite as quiet as the old one, but it cleans better and was also a breeze to install.

One of the main reasons I chose a new dishwasher for my kitchen remodel was because of the noise level, especially since my family room is right next to the kitchen. My old GE dishwasher, which was 25 years old, worked great but was very loud. I’ve had the Bosch for 2 weeks now and have run 2 loads, and honestly, I don’t think it’s as quiet as I hoped. I can easily tell it’s running without looking for the red light – I can hear it from about 10 feet away. Using an iPhone app, I measured the decibel level and it’s between 47 and 50. The cleaning performance has been fine, and CrystalDry did a good job, but the cycle takes at least 2 hours! I had high expectations for this dishwasher, and so far, it hasn’t quite lived up to them.

We got our Bosch 800 series installed over Mother’s Day weekend, so we’ve been using it for about two months now. After watching a YouTube video, my husband and I had it set up in no time, and it was super easy. The best part? It’s so quiet that the only time we notice it’s running is when the water drains. That’s a huge plus since our kitchen and family room are all one open space. I also love being able to put plastics on the bottom shelf—thanks, Bosch, for sending those helpful videos! The finish is easy to clean and stays looking nicer than any of our other “fingerprint-resistant” stainless steel appliances. Overall, we’re really happy with it.

It cleans dishes really well and is insanely quiet—like, you barely hear it. The racks are adjustable, and there’s a special shelf for those large or awkward utensils. The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is the ridiculously confusing controls. It’s so complicated! I just don’t get why an otherwise well-designed appliance makes you go to the manual every time you want to use it. If they could fix that, it’d be pretty much perfect. I’m sure we’ll eventually get the hang of it, but wow, it’s been a pain.

The appliance is super quiet, just like they said it would be. There are two spots for silverware: a tray at the top and two baskets on the bottom rack. I’ve been using the top tray because the baskets take up a lot of space that I need for bigger items on the bottom. I’m finding it tricky to load cereal bowls and round plastic containers, mostly because they either don’t fit in the slots or they fit but tip forward, taking up extra space. I followed the loading instructions from the manual, but I still haven’t found the perfect arrangement. As for plastic items, they usually don’t dry completely by the end of the cycle, unless they’re placed in a way that doesn’t let them move around during the wash.
