8 Wash Cycles

Flexible 3rd Rack
The Flexible 3rd Rack has expandable wings that easily lower to accommodate more of your deeper items. Meanwhile, adjustable tines let you customize the rack’s loading space to fit awkward or bulky utensils.
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 Operation (~42 dBA)
- Whisper-quiet performance—customers barely notice it's running, with only the InfoLight indicating operation.
🧼 Exceptional Cleaning & CrystalDry™ Efficiency
- Delivers near-perfect stain removal (up to 99.97% on tough soils) across cycles thanks to PrecisionWash, PowerControl spray bar, and advanced washing system.
- CrystalDry technology—using zeolite—dries dishes thoroughly, even plastics, leaving minimal water droplets
⏱ Faster Bosch Cycles
- Heavy cycle completes in around 2 hrs 5 min—significantly faster than many competitors (e.g., 3 hrs 22 min on similar LG models) .
🍽 Enhanced Loading Flexibility
- Comes equipped with adjustable racks, folding tines, and a spacious third rack—highly praised in customer reviews.
🌐 Smart Integration & Design Elegance
- App-enabled via Home Connect; lets you monitor, customize, and target wash quadrants.
- Elegant bar-handle design with stainless steel tub; InfoLight floor indicator and sleek touch control finish
❌ Cons
🎚 Finicky Touch Controls & App Dependency
- Top touch controls can be unresponsive; touch/app-only options frustrate some users.
⚙️ Complex (Potentially Fragile) CrystalDry System
- Some reports from Reddit indicate CrystalDry units have had failures over time, leading to costly repairs (~$700+) and reliability concerns
🚪 Door Mechanics & Capacity Minor Issues
- The door springs shut unless fully open—can be inconvenient during loading
- A few buyers note the silverware basket is compact compared to other models
✅ Conclusion
The Bosch SHX78DM5N is a top-tier dishwasher ideal for users who prioritize quiet operation, stellar cleaning and drying (even for plastics), and smart-home integration wrapped in a sleek design. Its faster-than-average Bosch cycle times and flexible loading truly shine.
However, if you’re wary of touch-only controls or concerned about the long-term reliability of Bosch’s CrystalDry system—and the potential repair costs—you may consider alternatives:
- Bosch 500 Series: great drying via AutoAir, fewer tech frills, less expensive.
- Benchmark models: similar performance, include water softener, but premium price.
