Bosch SHPM78Z54N

The adage rings true: when you invest generously, you receive commensurate value. This device performs flawlessly, a testament to its quality. Installation was effortlessly accomplished, and the unit operates with remarkable quietude and impressive strength.

I adore this machine. Its silence is remarkable—you could stand directly before it and remain unaware it is running. Yet, without a visible timer, there’s no way to know how much time remains. Additionally, one must wait for the red light to change to ensure it has truly begun. On more than one occasion, we pressed start, retired for the night, only to find it never commenced.

We are utterly delighted with our new Bosch 800 Series dishwasher! It is so whisper-quiet that a red light projects onto the floor to indicate it’s running. Our dishes emerge cleaner than ever before. Following the recommendation, we use Finish dishwasher detergent and rinse aid for optimal results.

The dishwasher was installed not long ago, and I have encountered considerable difficulty in both loading it and ensuring the dishes emerge spotless. The plastic cups, in particular, tend to flip upside down, leaving them filled with water by the end of the cycle. The ceramic cups, too, are prone to tumbling about, creating a racket as they clash with each other. Despite the appliance’s quiet operation, the sound of dishes, pots, pans, and cups striking one another is unmistakable. The uppermost rack, however, does serve me well when washing flatware. To secure the plastic bowls and their lids, I’ve been forced to purchase additional clips, and in doing so, had to remove the supports for stemware to make space for these new accessories—both sets of clips required separate purchases. Even my stainless steel mixing bowls are prone to flipping over during the wash. Furthermore, the lack of a visible display on the front panel while the machine runs has proven inconvenient. The red light projected on the floor during a cycle provides insufficient insight into the machine’s progress or current state.

All in all, I am pleased with my new dishwasher, but there is one feature I find rather inconvenient—the placement of the utensil caddy on the side, rather than in the front. Quite often, I simply wish to drop a fork or spoon into the dishwasher, but this becomes a cumbersome task, as it requires fully opening the door, pulling out the shelf, just to place a utensil into the caddy. I attempted to reposition the caddy, but it simply would not fit in any other location.

The array of configuration options is truly remarkable; we are astonished by how much it can hold. Its quiet operation is so impressive that the subtle light on the floor is the only way to confirm it’s even running. Remarkably, in all our uses, not a single dish, piece of silverware, or glass has failed to come out spotless. After at least twenty cycles, we are still thoroughly delighted with its performance.

I absolutely love my Bosch dishwasher. Having used several other brands in the past, I feel I have a good basis for comparison. After observing its performance over the course of a few months, I can confidently say I’m thrilled with everything about it. It’s incredibly quiet, cleans efficiently, and offers ample space—plus, the third rack is incredibly useful. The drying results are remarkable as well; the dishes don’t feel as though they’ve come out of a brick oven, over-dried and prone to cracking. Instead, they feel properly dry and “conditioned” in a way that’s hard to describe. The paint on my porcelain cups and plates hasn’t faded or worn off. One particularly impressive moment was when a glass bowl, which had a thick layer of caramelized sugar from cooking flan, came out sparkling clean. Nothing I did in the sink could tackle that mess, but the dishwasher handled it with ease. The results were stunning—crystal-clear glass! Though the appliance is a bit on the pricey side, it’s worth every penny, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with my purchase.

This dishwasher is truly the best in its price range, thanks to its superior technology. The Zeolite drying feature really delivers, and it’s reassuring to know that I’m moving toward more energy-efficient appliances without compromising on style or performance. It strikes the perfect balance between innovation, functionality, and sustainability.

We’ve been extremely satisfied with the dishwasher’s performance thus far. One feature I particularly enjoy is the top rack for silverware, which makes loading and unloading much easier and more convenient, especially when transferring items to the silverware drawer. Not having to bend over to handle all those smaller pieces is a definite advantage. Additionally, we’ve come to really appreciate how quietly the dishwasher runs—it’s a pleasant surprise every time.

The dishwasher is incredibly quiet, and the controls are intuitive and easy to use. The dishes, including glasses, come out clean every time. My only issue is that the door doesn’t stay slightly ajar, which would allow the dishwasher to fully dry out after a cycle. This small inconvenience aside, overall, I’m very pleased with its performance.

This is our second Bosch dishwasher, and we also have one in our summer home. Without a doubt, it’s the best and quietest dishwasher we’ve ever had! I no longer have to worry about it melting any plastic items, thanks to its unique CrystalDry feature. We’ve had such a positive experience that we will never consider another brand for our dishwashing needs.
