Overall Rating: 4.1 / 5 (Excellent)

Bosch has an excellent reputation when it comes to high-end kitchen appliances and this model is no exception. It gets generally solid reviews online and has some unique features that set it apart. Among them, the flexible rack configuration, which can give it 30% more loading space and fit large pots and pans, the AquaStop leak protection, and an extremely low noise level. However, the manufacturer's warranty is more limited than comparable machines on the market (for example, Kenmore), which tend to cover more and for a longer period of time.

Bosch SHPM65W56N Appearance

Quality - 4.3 / 5

The Bosch SHPM65W56N is as sleek as they come, with a smooth black finish, recessed handle, and top integrated controls. Quiet machines with integrated controls are often opened by accident in the middle of the cycle. This model, however, shines a light on the floor while the cycle is in progress. Aside from its good looks, the interior stainless steel tub is spacious enough for 16 place settings and the third rack with fold-down sides gives it an even larger loading area.
