Bosch SHS53CD2N 24 inch 300 Series Scoop Handle Built-In Dishwasher with 16 Place Setting, Standard 3rd Rack, PrecisionWash, PureDry, Rackmatic, Stainless Steel Tub, Home Connect, 24/7 AquaStop, InfoLight (White)

Newly redesigned EasyGlide™ rack system for a smooth glide on all three racks

The EasyGlide™ rack system is redesigned to give you a smooth glide on all three racks—even when it’s fully loaded.

Know when your dishwasher is running with InfoLight®

Based on our legendary sound reduction technology, our dishwashers are so quiet, we provide an InfoLight® that projects a red light onto the floor (or a white light in the pocket handle on select models) to signal that a cycle is running. It turns off once the dishes are done.

Fit in tall items with 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.

10-Year Rust-Through Warranty.

We take much care of the quality of our dishwashers. The production processes and material used for the interior of our dishwashers allow to provide a special 10-year warranty against the rusting-through of the cavity from the inside (conditions apply).

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.

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.

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®

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.

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.

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.
