Bosch 800 Series SHX78CM5N Dishwasher vs Bosch 300 Series Dishwasher
The 800 Series SHX78CM5N is the better dishwasher of the two. It runs quieter at 42 dBA versus 46 dBA, adds CrystalDry zeolite drying that handles plastics, and has a top control panel that stays hidden. The 300 Series is a solid Bosch with AquaStop Plus and a third rack, but it sits a step below on sound and drying. Buy the 800 if quiet operation and dry plastics matter to you. Buy the 300 if you want Bosch build quality and leak protection and can accept more noise.
- Choose the Bosch 800 Series if you want the quietest wash, top controls, and CrystalDry that dries plastic containers.
- Choose the Bosch 300 Series if you want proven Bosch cleaning and AquaStop Plus leak protection and don't need the quietest model.
