Bosch badged the SHE88PZ65N as Benchmark, rating it at 40 dBA over 16 place settings with CrystalDry and Home Connect. It is a front-control machine, which is unusual for the Benchmark line and makes it a favourite in kitchens where reaching over to a top-edge strip is awkward. Getting a front-control machine to 40 dBA meant sealing the control panel area unusually well, and that is worth knowing before anyone attacks the fascia during a repair – the gaskets behind it are part of the sound rating.
