Bosch SHS53CM5N

We’ve only had this for about a week, so it’s still early days. The cleaning performance seems top-notch, but the loading? Meh. It only comes with one cutlery basket, which is just about okay, but if you add a second one, it eats up space on the lower rack. Even with just one, fitting large plates without messing up the rest of the layout is tricky. The top rack is pretty good, but the small foldable shelves only fold down—they don’t stand upright. So, if you flip them down for wine glasses or whatever, fitting stuff underneath gets awkward. The very top section is awesome, especially with its sloped design. The Wi-Fi setup instructions are a bit off, but once you figure it out, I’d give it a solid 4 out of 5.

I was really excited to get a Bosch, but I’m super disappointed that there’s no delay start option directly on the dishwasher—it’s only available through the app, which is completely unreliable. My unit refuses to connect to Wi-Fi, even though everything else in my house works perfectly fine.

The operation manual is practically useless. After owning this dishwasher for 8 months, I *think* I’ve finally figured out how to select a cycle and actually get it to run. Up until now, we’d just mash buttons and hope for the best. Since we like setting it to run overnight, we’d often (always) wake up to find it hadn’t done anything. Then we’d mess with the buttons again, randomly pressing things until it finally started—but we never knew how we did it. We had an older Bosch at our last place, and its buttons were so much more intuitive compared to this one.

The cutlery drawer is a game-changer! I can fit so much more in it, like coffee cup lids, which frees up space in the rest of the dishwasher for all my other dishes. Most of the time, I even take out the small cutlery basket on the bottom shelf to make room for bigger dishes and pots. It cleans everything amazingly well! The only thing we’ve had to adjust is where we put the soap pod—we place it on the bottom of the dishwasher instead of in the soap dispenser. If we use the dispenser, the dishes sometimes have a slight soapy taste. Even so, everything comes out super clean!

Twenty years ago, I did my homework when looking for a new dishwasher, and it led me to my first Bosch appliance. Fast forward two decades, and it finally gave out. While it definitely showed its age, it served us incredibly well right up to its last day—an impressive lifespan for a dishwasher, if you ask me. Over all those years, I didn’t hesitate to recommend Bosch to anyone who asked. So when it came time to replace it, I barely needed to think about what to buy next.

This dishwasher is a hard worker and super quiet, delivering sparkling clean dishes and cutlery every time. It truly sets the gold standard for dishwashers, and I don’t think anything else out there compares. I’m really impressed with how well it performs and how quietly it runs. It’s definitely worth the investment—it’s by far the best dishwasher I’ve ever owned, and I’ve had quite a few before this one.

I was a bit concerned about the space inside, but there’s actually way more room than my old dishwasher, even though they’re the same size. It’s super quiet, which is awesome since our kitchen is open to the dining and living rooms. We always use the extra dry option because, without it, things don’t dry properly—that’s the only reason it’s not getting 5 stars from me. Also, it’d be nice if the utensil tray could be lowered for more flexibility.

I’ve always had a dishwasher, and my Bosch 300 is hands down the best one I’ve ever owned! It runs super quiet and cleans amazingly well. The rack designs are really clever—at first, it was a little tricky because it’s different from what I was used to, but once I figured out where everything goes, I’m able to fit dishes I couldn’t in my old one. I’m really, really impressed and happy with it!

I really love this dishwasher! It cleans amazingly well and runs super quietly. One thing I’d change is making the top utensil rack a bit deeper so it can fit larger cooking spoons. Also, the utensil tray is a bit small and tricky to fill, but the top rack does hold a lot of utensils, so that’s a plus. Overall, though, I’m really happy with it.

We had a Bosch dishwasher in our old home, but when we moved, the new house didn’t have one. After our current dishwasher failed, we made sure to buy another Bosch. This model is super quiet and has all the features we needed. The top utensil rack is amazing!

We’ve been using this new dishwasher for about a month now, and we really like the adjustable racks and the third rack for cutlery. The only thing I’m a bit disappointed with is the noise—it’s not as quiet as I expected. But overall, I’d still recommend buying it.

We couldn’t be more delighted with our new Bosch dishwasher, which has been in use for nearly two months. As expected, it delivers impeccably clean dishes, even when they’ve been sitting inside for a day before washing.
One of its standout features is the remarkably quiet operation—an immense improvement over our previous unit. The third rack at the top is thoughtfully positioned, making loading and unloading utensils effortless. With the recommended rinse aid, dishes emerge dry by morning, despite the absence of a traditional heating element. While plastic storage containers may need a few extra minutes to air-dry on the counter, this is no different from our past experience.
Overall, this dishwasher has exceeded our expectations, blending efficiency, practicality, and near-silent performance.

At first, the dishwasher operated with an almost whisper-like quietness, but after about six months, the noise level noticeably increased. My husband suspects that prolonged exposure to intense heat may have compromised some of the insulation, though we can’t say for certain. Regardless, it’s a concerning development and something we’ll be keeping an eye on.

The dishwasher does an excellent job of cleaning, and the sanitization feature works flawlessly. My only small gripe is that the door closes with a rather loud sound, which can be a bit jarring in an otherwise quiet machine.

I have a deep appreciation for Bosch products due to their quiet operation, remarkable efficiency, and thoughtful water conservation. They truly set the standard for quality and performance.

This dishwasher is so astonishingly quiet that I can entertain guests while it runs, completely undisturbed! Its spacious interior is equally impressive—I find myself running it far less often than my previous machine. The top drawer for silverware is a game-changer, making unloading effortless—no more tangled utensils stuck in a cramped basket! And the best part? My dishes emerge gleaming, spotless, and pristine, even after sitting unrinsed for days. I am absolutely enamored with this dishwasher!
