Why You Might Love It
The standout feature of the Bosch SHP65CM5N is its AutoAir® drying option. At the end of the cycle, the door automatically opens to release humidity and pull in fresh air—helping dishes dry more naturally and efficiently without extra energy use. It’s a simple feature that quietly makes everyday cleanup feel easier.
It’s also worth noting that both the noise level and price point land comfortably in the average range for dishwashers in this class. For many shoppers, that balance—solid performance without premium pricing—is exactly what they’re looking for.
Why It Might Not Be Right for You
There are a couple of design choices to be aware of that may not fit everyone’s preferences:
- The standard utensil basket is smaller than some users may prefer because the dishwasher is designed for utensils to be placed primarily on the Flexible 3rd Rack. While many people love the organization and extra space this creates, others simply prefer keeping utensils in a traditional lower-rack basket.
- For customers who use the delayed start option, it is accessible only through the Home Connect® app. You may want to consider alternatives if you regularly rely on delayed start but prefer not to operate your dishwasher through an app.
The SHP65CM5N is a great fit for those who value efficient natural drying and appreciate a dishwasher with solid, reliable performance at an average price and noise level—just keep in mind the utensil placement design and app-based delayed start when deciding if it suits your kitchen routine.
