The SHX65DM5N is the bar-handle 500 Series: 44 dBA, 16 place settings, three racks, AutoAir. It is the configuration most often bought as part of a matching suite with a Bosch range and refrigerator. Worth knowing when comparing it with the 800 Series above it: both have three racks and both are quiet, but only the 800 adds CrystalDry. The 500 releases the door and lets physics do the drying; the 800 puts a mineral in the base that turns moisture into heat.
