Benchmark is Bosch’s top line, and the SHP9PCM5N is its pocket-handle dishwasher: 38 dBA, 16 place settings, CrystalDry, three racks. Two things separate a Benchmark from an 800 Series in practice – the sound level, which takes another layer of insulation to reach, and the quality of the racking, including the MyWay third rack that is deep enough to take mugs rather than just flatware. Everything that fails on an 800 fails the same way here; it simply takes longer to get to.
