Our verdict
This is a 16-place-setting built-in dishwasher from Bosch. It costs about $45 a year to run — about average for dishwashers, close to the middle of the pack. At 42 dBA, this is a quiet dishwasher — quiet enough to run during the day without it dominating the room.
Buy this appliance
We haven't matched this model to a live, verified retailer listing yet. We only show a price when we've verified the exact product — search the model number directly at a retailer below instead of guessing from a photo or a similar model.
Retailer-listed price (as of 2026-07-18): $1,549.99. This is not a confirmed live price for this exact listing — treat it as a rough reference only. Listed explicitly as 'MSRP' on retailer RedTag Warehouse's product page -- a retailer-published price, not a bosch-home.com manufacturer MSRP page (Bosch does not publish direct-to-consumer prices, and bosch-home.com is blocked to automated fetch anyway).

Noise — the spec that matters most for a dishwasher
decibels — a measure of loudness. Lower is quieter.
That's quiet — most people can hold a conversation nearby without raising their voice while it runs.SERP snippet (bosch-home.com blocks direct fetch) for the SHX78DC5N product page reads '42 dBA -- the quietest dishwasher brand in the U.S.' Independently corroborated by: (1) a third-party spec-sheet mirror (manua.ls) stating 42 dBA in two separate sections, and (2) direct-fetch confirmation of 42 dBA on two sibling 800-series models in the same bar-handle CrystalDry family (SHX78DM5N, SHX78CC5UC spec sheets, both fetched live from media3.bosch-home.com). No direct primary document for the exact SHX78DC5N SKU itself was locatable.

Open manual & support →Your repair rights — depends on your state
Several states now give you a legal right to request parts, tools, and documentation from the manufacturer to repair your own major appliance — but this is not a national right yet, and it's enforced by the state attorney general, not something you can sue over yourself.
- California, Colorado, Oregon, Minnesota — in force now (CA since 7/1/2024, CO since 1/1/2026, OR since 2025, MN since 7/1/2024).
- Connecticut — takes effect 7/1/2026.
- New York and Texas — appliances are explicitly excluded from those states' repair laws. A blanket "you have the right to repair" claim would be false there.
- Everywhere else — no appliance-specific repair-rights law found as of this writing.

Annual running cost is computed by Verified Appliance Data from published ratings and EIA energy prices — see our methodology. Dimensions, plug/electrical, warranty, manual links and price (where shown) come from manufacturer spec sheets, manuals, and — for price only — a UPC-verified Amazon match; every enrichment fact carries its own source and retrieval date. We publish no star ratings and take no payment for placement. "Not published" means the source doesn't disclose it — we never fill a spec with a guess.
