How quiet is the Bosch SHV78DM3N?

Bosch rates it at 42 dBA, which is quiet enough for open-plan kitchens. Most owners say they barely hear it running.

Does it have a third rack?

Yes. The flexible third rack holds silverware and small utensils and frees space in the lower racks.

It is a 24-inch built-in model that installs under the counter. It is not portable.

It measures about 33 7/8 inches high, 23 9/16 inches wide and 23 1/16 inches deep. Check clearance for the recessed handle.

The 800 Series adds a quieter 42 dBA rating, a stainless steel tub and a more flexible third rack over the 500 Series.

No. It works with standard dishwasher detergent, rinse aid and salt if your water is hard.
