The SHX53DM5N is the bar-handle 300 Series: 46 dBA, 16 place settings, three racks, anti-fingerprint stainless. It is one of the most commonly installed Bosch dishwashers in American kitchens simply because the bar handle matches the ranges and refrigerators people buy alongside it. From a service point of view, the important thing about the 300 tier is where it sits relative to the 500 – it has the third rack and the quiet running, but it dries by condensation alone, with no door-opening mechanism and no zeolite.
