• 42 dBA Noise Level: Extremely Quiet Operation at 42 dBA: creating a dishwasher so quiet, you can't always tell it is running -- this is what makes Bosch the quietest dishwasher brand in the U.S.
• ENERGY STAR Certified: This Bosch dishwasher is ENERGY STAR certified and meets or exceeds federal guidelines, for year-round energy savings.
• CrystalDry: Transforms moisture into heat up to 176°F to give dishes, even plastics, the ultimate dry.
• PrecisionWash: Uses Intelligent sensors to monitor the wash water and automatically adjust the cycle for a smarter clean.
• Stainless Steel Tub: Bosch uses quality materials that deliver excellent performance and are built to last.
• Home Connect: Smart Cycle takes the guesswork out of cycle selection by quickly helping you identify and save the best program combination for your needs. Now you can clean smarter, not harder – only with Home Connect.
• Quality: Every dishwasher must pass 485 quality checks--including running every single one with water--before leaving the factory. So you can rest assured that your dishwasher is built to withstand whatever life throws your way.
• EasyGlide Racks: The EasyGlide rack system is redesigned to give you a smooth glide on all three racks—even when it’s fully loaded.
• RackMatic: RackMatic easily adjusts to three different heights and up to nine separate rack positions, allowing taller items like stemware to fit in the middle rack while leaving room for pots and pans below.
• Touch Control Panel: The touch control panel has been simplified to offer the cycles and options you use most - all at the touch of your fingertips.
• PureDry: PureDry is an energy-efficient, closed-drying system that does not pull in outside air and gently whisks moisture away from dishes as they cool. And with no exposed heating element, you can safely place plastics anywhere.
• 24/7 AquaStop: An advanced leak prevention and containment system, AquaStop features sensors that automatically close the water inlet and activate the drain pump if a possible leak is detected—even if you’re not at home.
• 24/7 Overflow Protection System: Bosch’s exclusive 24/7 Overflow Protection System looks out for you even when the unit is off. If the water level ever gets too high, water is drained and the water inlet is closed.
• Anti Fingerprint: Provides protection against fingerprints, dirt & smudges so your kitchen always looks its best.
• FlexSpace Tines: The FlexSpace Tines let you fold down every other tine in one simple step, so it’s easier to fit your largest, bulkiest items. It helps to hold pots and pans upright, leaving more room for your other dishes.
• NSF Certified: Meets the standards set by the National Sanitation Foundation for sanitation and safety.

✅ Pros

• Ultra-Quiet (~42 dBA)
  Operates almost silently—perfect for open living spaces—with only subtle indicators showing it’s on.
• Top-Tier Cleaning & Drying
  Combines PrecisionWash® and CrystalDry® (zeolite-enhanced) for powerful cleaning and superior drying—even plastics and hard-to-dry items come out thoroughly dry.
• Smart, Flexible Interior
  Offers a third rack for utensils, adjustable middle rack (RackMatic®), and fold-down tines for loading large pots or delicate glassware. Accommodates a full 16-place setting layout.
• Connected Features & Safety
  Home Connect® Wi-Fi enables remote start, status updates, and voice control. Built-in leak protection (AquaStop®) guards against water damage 24/7—even when you're away.
• Energy & Hygiene Certified
  Energy Star efficient and includes an NSF-certified sanitize option—great for sterilizing items like baby bottles or cutting boards.
• Seamless Integration, Elegant Finish
  Fully integrated panel blends into your cabinetry, with a stainless steel interior that looks premium and resists odors. InfoLight® subtly indicates operational status.

❌ Cons

• Longer Cycle Duration
  Most wash cycles take between 2–3 hours—thorough but slower than quick-wash models from other brands.
• Limited On-Panel Controls
  Advanced settings (Smart Cycle, extra dry, delay start) are accessible only via the app—panel offers basic control only.
• Drying Dependence on Loading
  While CrystalDry® is among the best, proper placement matters; smaller plastic items may need strategic positioning for full drying.
• Premium Price, Mid-Level Features
  Expensive compared to Bosch 500 Series models, yet lacks some ultra-premium Benchmark features like interior lighting or built-in water softener.

🎯 Bottom Line

The SHV78DM3N stands out as a silent, high-performance dishwasher with excellent cleaning and drying capabilities, smart-home convenience, and robust leak protection — all seamlessly hidden behind custom cabinetry. It’s ideal if you prioritize performance over speed and are comfortable using app-based features.
