Bosch 800 Series SHV78CM3N (panel ready) review

Bosch SHV78CM3N is the 800 Series built to vanish. Bosch lists it as fully integrated and panel ready, with the panel and handle sold separately, so the dishwasher can match the surrounding cabinets in a kitchen that is open to the living room. Noise is rated at 42 dBA, the same as the standard 800 Series, and a closed cabinet door front can make it feel even less present. Because the controls are hidden, Bosch adds a red InfoLight that shines on the floor to show the machine is running. Inside, it matches the SHP78CM5N: 16 place settings, CrystalDry, PrecisionWash with PowerControl, NSF certified Sanitize, AquaStop and Home Connect. It ranks lower on value and ease of use because the $1,549 price does not include the panel, and fitting one usually means paying a cabinet maker or installer. Bosch's store also showed it out of stock when checked. We compared documented features and published prices.
