Bosch SHP95CM5N

I’m really into it! It’s packed with awesome features, and the exterior is a breeze to wipe down.

Awesome dishwasher, super simple to use.

The dishwasher looks amazing and has some really handy features, but it’s a tad expensive.

I’m obsessed with my new dishwasher! It’s so quiet, you’d never know it’s on—except for that little red light on the floor!

Super easy to use, and the app is pretty handy for letting you know when it’s finished!

I just installed this dishwasher to replace a 15-year-old GE, and so far, it’s been great. It cleans and dries really well—everything comes out spotless. The only thing that doesn’t dry fully is plastic, but I haven’t tried rinse aid yet, which should help with that. The dish racks are awesome, and I love the silverware tray too. And best of all, this thing is super quiet—I can barely hear it running through a full cycle!

I finally have a quiet, reliable kitchen workhorse with the Bosch 500 series dishwasher!

This dishwasher is so quiet that I can put my ear next to the door and not hear a thing. I wasn’t sure about the third rack at first, but now I absolutely love it. It’s super flexible and makes loading different items a breeze. The same goes for the lower racks—I can fit so much in there because everything is adjustable. The dishes come out spotless, and I even get a reminder when the rinse aid is running low.

We replaced our SHX99A15UC with this model, and while the noise ratings are similar (44dB for the SHX99A15UC, 38dB for this one), in practice, this unit lets a lot more water-hitting-pans noise escape. The motor’s quiet, but the sound insulation on the doors and case isn’t as good. The bottom rack tine layout is a total mess compared to the old model—we can’t figure out how to fit the same loads into the bottom rack. As for the WiFi, it’s pretty useless. I tried setting it up on a guest network, but I think it blocks some port the dishwasher needs, though I don’t really care for the feature anyway. Overall, I can’t recommend this model—it’s been a big letdown.

We’ve had a bunch of dishwashers from different brands, all claiming to be quiet and efficient, but after talking with my wife’s friends, we realized we needed something even quieter. They all recommended Bosch, with one friend saying, “If the light wasn’t on, we wouldn’t know it was running.” Curious, I downloaded a decibel meter to check our current machine—it showed 38-43 dBs, but honestly, it didn’t feel that quiet. After looking at several models, we decided on the Bosch 500 series, since the 800 was a lot more expensive and didn’t offer features we really needed. We love the rack layout, especially the third rack at the top for flatware—it cleans better than the basket, in my opinion. The best part? It’s by far the quietest dishwasher we’ve ever owned. After testing with the same app, it showed at or below 28 dBs, which is incredibly quiet. Sometimes now, we even forget it’s running! Huge thanks to Bosch for making such a quiet machine. We’re really happy with our choice.

My experience with this washer has been beyond satisfying! It’s a great, super quiet machine.

This is hands down the best dishwasher I’ve ever had. The third rack is awesome, though I wish it could be adjusted for more flexibility. It cleans the dishes really well and runs super quietly. The silverware basket could be bigger, but the third rack definitely helps with that. I’d definitely recommend it!

I love everything about this dishwasher—the layout, how well it cleans, the third rack, the auto-sense washing, and the fact that it’s programmable and connects to my smartphone. I’ve had two Bosch dishwashers before, so when the non-Bosch one in my current house stopped working, there was no question about what I’d replace it with. I went with the 500 series because it’s right in the middle of their models, giving me all the cleaning power and features of the higher-end models without the extras I didn’t need, and at a price close to the lower models.

For the past month, we have been using this dishwasher, a worthy successor to our previous Bosch, which served us impeccably for sixteen years. Initially, I had reservations about the upper cutlery rack, yet it has proven highly effective—every utensil emerges spotless. Moreover, this new model appears to offer greater capacity than its predecessor, accommodating more with ease. We are thoroughly satisfied!

I was first introduced to Bosch dishwashers during a visit to my brother’s home, and from the moment I heard— or rather, barely heard— its whisper-quiet operation, I was utterly captivated. The seamless efficiency with which it cleaned the dishes left a lasting impression, and I knew I had to have one for myself.

This dishwasher truly upholds the esteemed Bosch reputation. Its performance is exceptional, though I do find one minor flaw—the items placed on the third, uppermost rack dry inconsistently. However, I greatly appreciate that plasticware can safely be placed on the bottom rack without risk of damage. We also discovered that utensils and tableware fit well in the top rack, rendering the small basket designed for the lower rack unnecessary. Since it holds little and tends to come loose, we opted to remove it entirely, freeing up valuable space for pots, pans, and larger dishes. A well-designed and highly efficient machine!

At first, we found this dishwasher somewhat challenging to operate, but with time, we’ve become accustomed to its functions. While I generally appreciate new technology, the ability to control a dishwasher via smartphone seems entirely unnecessary—a gimmick rather than a practical feature. The control panel could be more intuitive, particularly when adjusting drying times, which is not as straightforward as it should be.

That said, its cleaning performance is outstanding, and its whisper-quiet operation is a definite highlight. The top silverware rack is a fantastic addition, and the sleek, modern design adds a touch of elegance to the kitchen.

The dishwasher has a sleek, modern appearance, and I especially appreciate the fingerprint-resistant finish. Its whisper-quiet operation is truly impressive! I was eager to use the third rack, though it has taken some getting used to—occasionally, the silverware shifts out of place, requiring me to rearrange it. Compared to my 12-year-old Bosch, this model feels smaller, which is a bit of a letdown. However, given Bosch’s reputation for durability, I have high expectations for its longevity. So far, after just a couple of weeks, it’s proving to be a solid choice.

I truly feel this was money well spent. The machine operates with remarkable quietness, and the loading capacity is excellent. The only minor hurdle was adjusting to the control buttons, but once familiar with them, the dishwasher proves to be an outstanding appliance.

I absolutely love everything about this dishwasher—the thoughtful layout, exceptional cleaning power, third rack, auto-sensing wash cycle, and smart connectivity. Having owned two Bosch dishwashers in the past, there was never a doubt about what brand I would choose when the non-Bosch unit in my current home failed. I opted for the 500 series, as it strikes the perfect balance between premium features and affordability. It delivers the top-tier cleaning performance and conveniences of Bosch’s higher-end models, without the extra bells and whistles I didn’t need, all at a price point closer to the lower-tier options.

We absolutely love our Bosch! After replacing an older GE, it became clear that Bosch offers superior quality and value. The dishes come out spotless, the third rack is a fantastic addition, and it provides more space than our previous model. It’s so quiet that without the indicator light, we wouldn’t even know it’s running!

Purchasing this dishwasher has proven to be an expensive misstep. It holds merely half the capacity of my old Kenmore, largely due to the perplexing layout of the tines. The front and back sections are oriented differently, making it frustrating to load oversized items like cutting boards and platters. If you use multiple boards throughout the day, as we do, they consume all the available space in the front half of the lower rack.

The lower rack itself is oddly configured—there’s only enough space to stand two bowls on their sides in the bottom left section, while elsewhere, they flop over, significantly reducing the available room for plates and other dishes. I expect a dishwasher to accommodate a variety of dinnerware, including cutting boards, multiple plate sizes, mugs, glasses, and larger utensils. This one simply does not.

The upper rack is slightly more functional, though primarily suited for glasses. Finding space for large utensils is a challenge. The silverware tray, while an interesting concept, is tedious to load properly—each piece must be carefully positioned to avoid them toppling over. I much prefer the simplicity of dropping a handful of silverware into a traditional basket. Speaking of which, the tiny silverware basket included here is nearly useless.

Worse still, I’ve yet to find room for an average-sized saucepan, as every cycle leaves me with a sink full of items that just wouldn’t fit. The cleaning performance is acceptable, though the interior door is consistently covered in dried water spots, regardless of whether I use rinse aid. My glasses remain clear, but my stainless steel silverware has begun to dull—something I never encountered before. Now, I find myself reaching for “The Pink Stuff” to restore their shine, which is an extra chore I don’t want.

On a positive note, it is impressively quiet—so much so that I barely notice it’s running. But silence alone isn’t enough to compensate for its frustrating shortcomings. Had I examined the interior layout more closely before purchasing, I would have walked away. Instead, I now find myself washing more dishes by hand than ever before simply because this machine cannot accommodate a full day’s worth of use.

I never imagined a dishwasher could bring such satisfaction! I’m enamored with the three racks, the convenience of starting a cycle from my phone, and the ability to tailor each wash to my needs.
