Bosch SHX53CM5N

I did a bunch of online research before buying, and this is my first Bosch. I went with it because the reviews were really solid. It’s a fantastic machine—super quiet and looks great too. My only gripe is the clearance on the middle rack. My water goblets don’t fit there, and when I put them on the bottom rack, they tend to tip over. I really wish the middle rack height was adjustable or the bottom rack had a better setup for them.

We’ve had the dishwasher for a couple of months and are pretty happy with it overall. One thing we’ve noticed is that the filter needs cleaning every few cycles if we don’t use the sterilize option—maybe because of our eco-friendly detergent, but we haven’t tested that theory yet.

This was a fantastic buy! It cleans really well and is super quiet. I’ve heard some folks grumble about things not being dry enough, but that’s never been a problem for me.

This dishwasher is fantastic at getting my dishes super clean! Even after some have been sitting with food on them for a day, they come out looking spotless. I love that I can start it from my phone; the app makes it super easy. I’m really pleased with this buy!

The dishwasher runs like a champ! I had a tough time getting the “home connect” to work with my iPhone 15 after months of trying and deleting the app, but when I tried it on my iPad, it worked perfectly. Even with the app hiccup, the dishwasher itself is great, and I’m really happy with both its performance and the app now!

This dishwasher is solid! I’d definitely recommend it for new parents. The third rack is a game-changer for bottle parts and delicate plastics. It runs quietly, with only the sound of draining, which might differ based on your plumbing setup. The WiFi feature is pretty neat, but you don’t need it to operate the dishwasher—most functions are right there on the touch panel. A couple of adjustments do need the app, but overall, it’s a great appliance. I’d go for this over the 100 series any day. The 500 series and up have extra features we didn’t really need, so the 300 series is a perfect middle option. Thanks!

I’ve been really pleased with this dishwasher. I put it to the test with some tough dishes that I thought might stump it, but so far, they’ve all come out sparkling clean. Awesome job, BOSCH!

The slim design with the top controls gives it a modern look, and it’s a powerhouse when it comes to getting dishes clean. The Home Connect feature is a nice bonus, making it easy to get reminders for unloading and starting the next load.

Hands down the best! Our new Bosch 300 series dishwasher is super quiet and leaves everything sparkling clean! It matches all our stainless appliances and was installed without a hitch! It looks fantastic, and we’re hoping to get years of great service from it!

I previously had a Bosch dishwasher that lasted me around 10 years, and it was the quietest one I’d ever used. It cleaned my dishes really well, but the front panel buttons eventually gave out, so I knew it was time for a new one. I ended up buying this model without realizing it had a third top rack, Wi-Fi start, and touch screen controls instead of the usual push buttons. We absolutely love it (and my wife does too)!

Overall, this dishwasher is fantastic. My dishes and glasses come out shining every time. I do wish the drying cycle was a bit stronger, though. Even when I use the extra-dry setting, there’s still a fair amount of moisture left in the back of the machine when it’s done.

While this dishwasher excels at delivering sparkling clean dishes, the Home Connect feature has been nothing but a frustration. I dislike that some cycles can only be activated through the app, forcing reliance on my phone rather than the machine itself. To make matters worse, it frequently loses connection to my otherwise perfectly stable Wi-Fi. Had I known this in advance, I might have reconsidered my purchase.

This dishwasher is superb. Since 2001, I have owned a Bosch in another country, and it has performed flawlessly, a testament to its exceptional craftsmanship and enduring reliability.

This dishwasher succeeds our previous Bosch, which faithfully served our family for over two decades with near-daily use. It integrated seamlessly into our home and operates flawlessly—I absolutely love it!

Having owned several high-end dishwashers, I find this one exceptional. Spacious—especially with the third tray for flatware—efficient, and impressively effective.

I’m thoroughly impressed with its cleaning performance; however, a bit of water occasionally lingers on some cups and dishes. Aside from that, I’m extremely satisfied.

The dishwasher that came with our home met its untimely demise on Christmas Eve, leaving us in quite a predicament. After hours of handwashing, we resolved that our next machine would be of far superior quality. Guided by glowing reviews and word of mouth, the decision was effortless. Installation proved straightforward—after watching a few instructional videos, we had it up and running smoothly. Our dishes emerge spotless and noticeably drier. The smart connectivity is surprisingly useful, alerting us when the cycle is complete—especially convenient when we’re upstairs or outdoors. We absolutely love our new dishwasher and highly recommend it.

Excellent dishwasher—cleans thoroughly and performs exactly as expected. After all, it’s a dishwasher; if I wanted it to make me a sandwich, I would have bought an oven.
The wireless setup is a nightmare. The controls are unnecessarily complicated for a dishwasher, and the WiFi connection is frustratingly unreliable. Since it operates on a 2.5 GHz network, it doesn’t easily sync, and the process is far more cumbersome than advertised. The app offers little to no assistance, and I’ve spent more time trying to get it to connect than I did installing the dishwasher, which was a breeze. This would be a five-star appliance if WiFi weren’t required for extra cycles like Delay Start. According to the app, it offers multiple advanced features, but without a proper connection, they’re nothing more than wasted potential.

This dishwasher has been a fantastic upgrade from our previous one—effortless to use, superb at cleaning, and exceptionally well-crafted.

Our Bosch dishwasher is fantastic—whisper-quiet and remarkably efficient!

My husband and I had no trouble installing this dishwasher ourselves. Our glassware and china emerge spotless, and even plastic containers come out perfectly dry when using the “Extra Dry” setting. I absolutely love this dishwasher!

We purchased this to replace our 15-year-old Bosch, which served us well, and we’re just as pleased with this one. The addition of the third rack has been a game-changer, significantly increasing the dishwasher’s capacity. Overall, we’re delighted with this purchase!

Overall, we are very pleased with our new Bosch dishwasher. However, some cycles—such as Eco Mode and Delicate Mode—are only accessible through the app, which is a bit inconvenient.

The dishwasher cleans exceptionally well—no complaints there. While the app can be a bit cumbersome at first, it’s worth it for the ability to set up a customized cycle. One thing to note: the startup process on the unit itself can be a bit tricky if you don’t read the instructions beforehand.

Overall, it’s an excellent appliance. Dishes and glassware emerge spotless and gleaming. However, I do wish the drying cycle were more effective—despite using the extra-dry setting, a noticeable amount of moisture remains in the back of the machine after each cycle.
