Bosch SHX5AEM2N

When functioning as intended, the device performs admirably. However, we encounter challenges with the controls—choosing cycles, initiating tasks, and the like. Perhaps it is simply too sophisticated for our grasp.

I bought this to succeed my old Bosch, which served me well for 11 years. The top-mounted control panel is a thoughtful feature, preventing unintentional starts. However, the flat upper rack is less useful to me, as it restricts the height of glassware on the shelf beneath. All in all, it runs quietly and performs its cleaning duties effectively.

I am pleased with this dishwasher, which became a part of my kitchen remodel. Although I hadn’t noticed it lacks a heating element, I never relied on the drying feature with my previous model, so it wasn’t missed. Setting up the delay wash through Home Connect took a few attempts, but now that it’s configured, I’m delighted with the app. It allows for delay wash settings beyond the usual four hours. With no rinsing—just a quick scrape—the dishwasher cleans remarkably well, even when I run it every four days. It took some adjustment, but in the end, I’m glad I chose this model.

Overall, this is a solid product, though I’m not entirely pleased with the layout of the dish racks. If you don’t load from the back, the entire rack tips forward. The utensil rack is somewhat small, but the third rack on top compensates, provided I remember to utilize it. It runs incredibly quietly, does an excellent job of cleaning, and I absolutely love the towel bar on the front.

The installation was straightforward, and adjustments were simple to make. It’s user-friendly and performs effortlessly. I’m so satisfied that I plan to purchase another one for my summer home.

This dishwasher replaces an older model, and it is, without a doubt, the quietest one we’ve ever had. The setup was effortless, and its cleaning performance is exceptional. I’m particularly fond of the Wi-Fi connection to the Home app, which adds a convenient layer of control.

I waited a month for this dishwasher to arrive, and it was touted as the quietest on the market. We can certainly attest to its quiet operation. The touch button system took a little getting used to, but after reading some online reviews with helpful tips, such as utilizing the auto setting, I’ve become more comfortable with it. Initially, I was hesitant about the third shelf, as it reduces the height of the middle rack, where I typically place all of my plastic items. However, I’m adjusting to this change. Bosch will always be my choice when it comes to dishwashers.

We chose a Bosch to replace our old Maytag, encouraged by the recommendations of two daughters, each of whom owns a Bosch. While the dishwasher is as quiet as promised, the cleaning performance doesn’t quite match our Maytag. Dishes with food particles left on them don’t come out clean, and the flatware often appears spotty. We’ve experimented with different detergents, but the results remain the same. Overall, we’re not particularly impressed.

After comparing various brands and prices, the Bosch 100 stands out as a solid overall dishwasher. It cleans thoroughly and offers ample rack space, with the third rack significantly expanding its capacity. The only downside is its ability to dry plastics. Since there’s no heating element, drying relies on physical principles, so some extra effort is needed to get plastics fully dry. Aside from that, I have no complaints.

It operates exceptionally quietly, and I love receiving the notification when the cycle is complete. The results are outstanding—dishes, glasses, pots, and pans come out extra clean and shiny.

Although the interior is slightly smaller than the dishwasher we replaced, the more efficiently designed racks and the third rack on top allow us to fit noticeably more inside. It runs extremely quietly, and thanks to the red under-glow indicator light, I no longer get in trouble for opening the dishwasher mid-cycle. Additionally, the sliding detergent door doesn’t get obstructed by dishes, unlike the flip-open style of our previous model. The smart features made integration with both Google Home and Home Assistant a breeze. With a baby in the house, we run one to two loads every day, and this dishwasher has truly enhanced our quality of life.
