Bosch 300 Series Dishwasher (SHP65DM5N) review

The Bosch 300 Series SHP65DM5N gives you most of the 800 Series for $250 less: Bosch lists it at $1,249.00. It has the same 16 place settings, stainless steel tub, AquaStop leak protection, NSF certified sanitize option and 33 7/8 by 24 by 24 inch cutout, so a buyer can choose between the two without remeasuring. The differences are in noise and drying. The 300 Series is rated at 44 dBA instead of 42 dBA and uses AutoAir, which Bosch says gives 10x drier dishes, rather than CrystalDry. A fixed Zone Wash program targets one area with what Bosch calls 3x more water power for stuck-on food. Home Connect Wi-Fi is included. We did not see a third rack in its highlights, so households that load lots of utensils should compare it with the 800 Series. We compared documented features and published prices and did not run wash tests.
