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®.

Prevent leaks with 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.​

Quality in every detail
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.

A smarter clean with PrecisionWash®
With Bosch PrecisionWash®, simply start your dishwasher and walk away. Intelligent sensors continually scan and check the progress of dishes throughout the cycle, and powerful, precision spray arms go to work targeting every item of every load. So when your dishes are done, so are you.

Not just dry, but 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.

Loading flexibility with a 3rd rack dishwasher
The Standard 3rd Rack provides the perfect space for flatware, large utensils, measuring cups, or nearly anything else that’s difficult to fit in a traditional dishwasher, while its V shape leaves room below both sides for taller items like stemware in the middle rack.

46 dBA - the quietest dishwasher brand in the U.S.
A range of technologies makes Bosch the quietest dishwasher brand in the U.S.* with impressively low decibel levels. For you, that means never having to wait until going to bed to run the dishwasher. *Based on an average of sound ratings of 24"" Full Size Stainless Steel Tub dishwashers contained in major brands websites. Major brands defined as TraQline Top 5 Market Share December 2021.

Fit in tall items with RackMatic®

✅ Pros

🔇 Whisper-Quiet & Effective Cleaning

• Operates at 46 dBA, making it hard to notice during use; owners consistently praise its quietness and cleaning performance.
• Independent testing shows it removes slightly more stains than some 500 Series models.

🍽️ Spacious & Flexible Interior

• Equipped with a third rack for utensils and small items, plus fold-flat tines and RackMatic® adjustable middle rack—which users find improves loading flexibility.

🌐 Smart & Premium Features

• First Bosch 300 Series model with Home Connect® Wi‑Fi, enabling remote start, notifications, and specialized cycles via app.
• PureDry® condensation drying successfully dries nearly 80% of dishes with heated rinse, though not perfect for all plastics.
• PrecisionWash® sensors ensure targeted, thorough cleaning—backed by both lab tests and user reviews.

🏆 Durable Build & Quiet Design

• A full stainless steel tub enhances durability, contributes to drying performance, and reduces odors.
• InfoLight® indicator on the floor shows when it’s active—convenient and discrete.

❌ Cons

💧 Plastic Drying Inconsistencies

• Approximately 21% of dishes still retain moisture; plastic containers may remain damp unless using extra-dry options

📱 App Dependency & Connection Issues

• Many cycle options (Delicates, Eco, child lock) are only accessible via the app—some users faced Android connectivity issues initially.
• Some reviews mention that touch-only controls may be less intuitive.

🕒 Longer Cycle Time

• Typical cycles run around 2.5 hours—standard for Bosch but slower than other brands.

🔧 Interior Loading Considerations

• Some users mention the narrow utensils slots and smaller bowls may require strategic placement

✅ Conclusion

The Bosch SHE53C8N delivers Bosch’s hallmark of quiet, thorough cleaning, along with flexible loading and smart connectivity—all at a solid mid-tier price point. It’s one of the few Bosch 300 Series models with Home Connect®, making it a great entry into modern, app-enabled dishwashers.

However, if fully dry dishes (especially plastics) straight from the cycle are a must-have, or if you prefer tactile controls over app-dependent options, consider upgrading to the 500 or 800 Series, which offer better drying systems and physical buttons.

Bottom line:

Pick the SHE53C8N if you want smart, spacious, and whisper-quiet dishwashing with reliable performance. If you care deeply about perfectly dry plasticware or faster cycle times, explore Bosch’s higher-tier offerings.
