Features:

Enhance your cleaning experience with Wi-Fi enabled 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®.

EasyGlide™ Plus rack system with ball bearing wheels for an even smoother glide
The EasyGlide™ Plus rack system takes gliding up a notch by using premium ball-bearing wheels to provide an even smoother glide on all three racks for easier loading and unloading.

Know how long your dishwasher cycle has left with TimeLight®
Bosch dishwashers are so quiet it can be hard to tell if they're running. TimeLight® shines the amount of time remaining in the cycle right on the floor (or in the pocket handle of your dishwasher on select models) so you know exactly when your dishes will be done.

Protect your kitchen with the 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.

Water Softener provides spot-free dishes
A built-in water softener removes hard water spots caused by lime deposits, softening the water to the appropriate level to ensure spot-free, shiny dishes.

485 quality checks on every dishwasher
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.

The deepest clean from PrecisionWash® with PowerControl™
PowerControl™ spray arm enhances PrecisionWash® performance to target your dirtiest dishes with a deeper clean, no matter where you load them on the bottom rack. No more scrubbing, rinsing, or hand washing.

The ultimate dry with CrystalDry™
At Bosch, we believe dishes should receive a powerful clean and then be thoroughly dry. Patented CrystalDry™ technology transforms moisture into heat up to 176˚F to get dishes 60% drier,* so you can put away your plastic dishes immediately into the cupboard when the dishwasher is finished. *Based on aggregate average drying performance of Bosch Dishwashers with CrystalDry™ on combined household load including plastics, glass, steel, and porcelain as compared to Bosch Dishwashers with PureDry®. Drying performance may vary by dish type.

✅ Pros

🔇 Whisper-Quiet Performance (~38 dBA)

• Exceptionally quiet—even during high-pressure cycles, you’ll barely notice it running.

🧼 Superior Cleaning & Drying

• Smart Load 3rd Rack adapts to your loading style, ensuring efficient cleaning.
• NSF-certified sanitize setting eliminates 99.9% of bacteria—ideal for bottles and cutting boards.
• PrecisionWash® optimizes water and spray coverage; Bosch’s top-tier drying (crystal or equivalent) leaves plastics and dishes reliably dry.

🍽 Maximum Flexibility & Space

• Full 16-place setting capacity with an intelligently designed third rack for utensils or small items.
• RackMatic® and fold-down tines allow easy customization for stemware or pans, maximizing use of internal space.

🌐 Smart & Safe

• Home Connect® Wi-Fi provides remote control, notifications, smart cycles, and voice integration.
• Energy Star efficiency and built-in leak protection (via AquaStop® or overflow-safe design) ensure trustworthy performance.

🎨 Seamless, Premium Integration

• Panel-ready design blends with cabinetry while maintaining a sleek interior of stainless steel.
• InfoLight® discreetly shows operational status on the floor—clean and unobtrusive.

❌ Cons

• Longer Cycle Durations
  High-end dishwashers run thorough cycles that can last 2½ to 3 hours—slower than many faster-wash models.
• High Price Point
  Benchmark models are premium-priced, without some extras like built-in water softener or interior lighting that appear in even higher-tier products.
• App-Only Advanced Controls
  While basic functions are on the panel, advanced options—like Smart Cycle management, delay start, or extra-dry—are only available via the app.
• Dependence on Proper Loading
  Though drying is excellent overall, it’s most effective when items—especially plastics or deep pans—are strategically loaded.

🎯 Bottom Line

The SHV9PCM3N Benchmark delivers top-tier quiet, smart, and hygienic performance with flexible loading and thoughtful drying. It’s crafted for those who want spotless results, smart features, and full-panel integration—provided you’re comfortable waiting for lengthy cycles and embracing app-driven control.
