Bosch Benchmark SHP9PCM5N Dishwasher vs Bosch 800 Series Dishwasher SGX78C55UC
Both are Bosch built-in dishwashers with CrystalDry and a third rack, so the real split is quietness, controls and flexibility. The Benchmark SHP9PCM5N is the quieter machine at 38 dBA, adds PowerControl and TimeLight, and offers nine cycles with more options through Home Connect. The 800 Series SGX78C55UC runs at 42 dBA with six cycles and the same core drying and rack layout. Owners of both rate them highly for cleaning and drying; the Benchmark is the step up if you want the quietest run and the most cycle choice, and the 800 is the sensible pick if those extras don't matter to you.
- Choose the Bosch Benchmark SHP9PCM5N if you want the quietest wash, the widest cycle selection and app-based extras like Smart Cycle.
- Choose the Bosch 800 SGX78C55UC if you want Bosch's core CrystalDry and third-rack package without paying for the quietest motor and extra cycles.
