Bosch lists the SHP78CM4N in brushed black steel with an anti-fingerprint finish – the dark-stainless option, distinct from the plain black-painted door of the 6N. It is the same 800 Series machine underneath: 42 dBA, 16 place settings, CrystalDry, pocket handle. Brushed black steel is the finish most easily damaged by the wrong cleaner, and unlike a painted panel it cannot be touched in; a replacement door skin is the only remedy, so it is worth telling owners early.
