Bosch SHX5AEM5N

Works like a charm and does the job perfectly, but I’m giving it 4 stars because the pull-out drawers could be better. They’re not as smooth as I’d like, and some upgraded slides would make a big difference.

When our builder-installed GE gave out after just five years (and we barely used it), we did some digging and decided this Bosch was worth the investment. Now we use it all the time because it’s super efficient and incredibly quiet. While a lot of brands seem to have cut corners over the years, we’re thrilled we stuck with Bosch—it’s been a great choice, just like in our previous homes.

After checking out all the options, I knew Bosch was the way to go, and I’m so glad I chose it! This dishwasher is absolutely fantastic. The app is super convenient and easy to navigate. The adjustable racks are a dream and work perfectly. It’s quiet and does the job flawlessly. If you’re on the fence, just go for it—buy Bosch!

We initially ordered a dishwasher from another popular brand, but the heating element broke after just one day. So, we switched to the Bosch, and it’s been smooth sailing ever since. It’s been over a month, and it’s been working great. The dishes are occasionally a little damp at the end of the cycle, but I think that’s because I haven’t been using much rinse aid. Other than that, no complaints at all!

Nobody really wants to spend money on a new dishwasher, right? Maybe it sounds a bit much to get excited about clean dishes, but honestly, this one works great! I’ve had it for a few weeks now and use it all the time. I especially love the top shelf for silverware—it’s a game-changer!

I bought this to replace an older Bosch dishwasher that was having pump failures and becoming unreliable. Installation was pretty straightforward, but I did have to buy a hardWIRE kit and a 90-degree water inlet elbow. Not sure why the elbow wasn’t included—it seems like a front-facing water inlet wouldn’t work for any setup.
As for the look, I really like the clean design, hidden buttons, and sturdy door handle—it’s definitely an upgrade from the old model.
Function-wise, it’s been great so far. It cleans well, and I like the quick cycle option for when we pre-rinse dishes. The Home Connect app is handy, though I probably won’t use the control features much. It does provide useful info, though.
It’s about as quiet as my previous Bosch, which is one of the reasons I stick with this brand. So far, I’m really impressed with the Bosch 100 Premium. Hopefully, it lasts longer than my old unit, which made it to 11 years. Time will tell!

I’m amazed at how quiet this dishwasher is! Another big plus is that my dishes come out looking brand new every time I wash them.

When we sold our old home and built a new one, I knew I’d miss my trusty Bosch. I told myself the second the new dishwasher broke, I’d go straight back to Bosch. And guess what? It broke. So, here I am, happy to be back with Bosch!

This dishwasher is so quiet, we hardly even notice it’s running!

I’m really loving my new Bosch 100 Premium dishwasher! It’s even quieter than my previous Bosch. The third cutlery rack is a game-changer—no more spoons all piled together and one not getting clean. Everything comes out sparkling! Plus, it makes unloading so much quicker and easier. I’d definitely recommend this dishwasher to my friends and family!

I really like how much faster this dishwasher runs compared to my old Whirlpool, and the dishes come out spotless. The only downside is that it feels like the racks were designed by someone who doesn’t cook for a family. There’s no way to fit my cookie sheets in, so I end up hand washing them every time. Plus, the way the pegs are arranged makes it harder to fit as many dishes in as I could with my old Whirlpool.

Thus far, the dishwasher has performed admirably. I am still experimenting with the most effective arrangement of items to minimize the troublesome accumulation of water, particularly as I frequently wash an abundance of lightweight Tupperware. When pressed for time, I have opted for the shorter cycle, and to my satisfaction, everything emerged impeccably clean. The machine operates with a hushed efficiency, and I particularly appreciate the subtle glow of the indicator light, which signals the completion of its task.

An exceptional dishwasher—remarkably efficient, whisper-quiet, and thoroughly effective in its cleaning prowess!

Our previous Bosch dishwasher had nearly attained the status of a relic, and when the time came for a replacement, no other brand was ever in question. The new model operates with a quiet grace, and even its shortest cycle leaves everything spotless in just an hour. A truly excellent appliance.

I have always admired the reliability and near-silent operation of Bosch dishwashers, and this model has certainly lived up to my expectations. It delivers an impressive clean, and I particularly appreciate the addition of the third rack, thoughtfully designed for silverware. The rack configuration, along with a few adjustable sections, significantly enhances its already generous capacity.

However, one aspect has left me disappointed compared to the two Bosch models I previously owned—many dishes emerge from the drying cycle still damp. I have experimented with various settings, and while the sanitize mode offers some improvement, residual moisture remains. This was never an issue with my earlier machines, making it a rather frustrating shortcoming in an otherwise outstanding appliance.

This machine excels at cleaning everything we place inside, delivering impeccable results every time. I truly appreciate nearly every aspect of it—except for the racks, which are disappointingly ill-designed. Loading it often feels like an unpredictable challenge.

Dishes emerge spotless, and the WiFi connectivity seamlessly integrates with my phone for added convenience.

Absolutely thrilled with this purchase—and yes, it cleans the dishes beautifully! No more dishpan hands for me!

Though our dishes come out spotless, the silverware container is disappointingly small and awkwardly positioned. Additionally, the overall rack layout could benefit from a more thoughtful redesign to better accommodate various dish sizes.

A fantastic dishwasher with a seamless and hassle-free installation.

Our new dishwasher was included with our new home, and it boasts several exceptional features. The third rack for utensils is particularly convenient, making it effortless to organize and put them away. Compared to any dishwasher we’ve owned before, this one operates with remarkable quietness. Additionally, the ability to start the cycle remotely adds a level of convenience we truly appreciate.

This dishwasher delivers exceptional cleaning performance and operates with impressive quietness. However, I encountered an unexpected issue—it didn’t fit seamlessly into my kitchen cabinets as my previous KitchenAid models did, despite careful measurements. A handyman explained that Bosch dishwashers have a unique mounting style, which now requires a cabinet professional to adjust the trim, adding unforeseen expenses to make it look properly integrated.
Another drawback is the lack of a clear indicator when the cycle is complete. While the red light shining underneath to signal it’s running is a great feature, once it turns off, there’s no illuminated sign showing that the dishes are clean. This can lead to confusion, so I resorted to buying “clean” and “dirty” magnets from Amazon.
Lastly, the drying performance leaves much to be desired. Even with various settings, dishes tend to remain damp, which is a noticeable downside compared to my previous dishwashers.

I had no particular intention of purchasing a Bosch, but rather sought a well-priced dishwasher that accommodated my preference for a third rack. To my delight, I stumbled upon this model—well within my budget yet offering far more than anticipated. The ability to remotely initiate a cycle, along with the option to tailor its settings to my liking, has proven immensely convenient. I am thoroughly pleased with this acquisition.

Although our new dishwasher was a compromise, we are pleased with it. We had hoped for a higher-end model, but our space could not accommodate anything taller than 34 inches. The WiFi setup has proven challenging, yet the machine’s performance is commendable. The racks are thoughtfully designed for convenience, and on the whole, we are satisfied with our choice.

I am truly impressed by how remarkably quiet this dishwasher is, especially in contrast to our previous model.
