The SHX78DM5N is the D-generation bar-handle 800 Series at 42 dBA and 16 place settings with CrystalDry. An installation note that matters specifically on 800 Series machines: they are heavy, because of the insulation and the extra hardware, and they must be secured to the countertop or to the cabinet sides. A Bosch that has never been fastened will tip forward when the door is opened and loaded, and the tipping is what eventually damages the hinges that owners then report as failing early.
