SHS is the scoop-handle front, where the grip is formed into the top edge of the door panel rather than bolted on. The SHS53CD5N puts that on the 46 dBA, 16 place setting, three-rack 300 Series chassis in anti-fingerprint stainless. A scoop handle is the most durable of the three Bosch handle styles because there is nothing to work loose – which is why on this model the door complaints we do see are about the hinge and spring assembly rather than about the handle itself.
