Add this Bosch Series 100 built-in dishwasher to your contemporary kitchen. Operating at only 48dB, it quietly yet effectively cleans your dishes and utensils. The three-level adjustable-height shelves accommodate different sizes of pots and glassware, and the third rack provides 30 percent more stacking space in this Bosch Series 100 built-in dishwasher.
Q: What is the difference between the 100 and 300 Bosch dishwasher series?
A: Hi DogMa, thank you for your question and interest in Model:SHXM4AY55N. The 100 Series Dishwasher has a hybrid tub, which is stainless steel and polypropylene, it is 48 dBA, is anti-fingerprint stainless steel, holds 15 place settings, has 24/7 Overflow Protection and an open bottom. The 300 Series has an all stainless steel tub, it is 44 dBA, has the Extra Dry Option, holds 16 place settings and has a fully molded base with 24/7 AquaStop. Both have a standard third rack and RackMatic with nine possible positions for the upper rack.
A: I own this dishwasher and the controls are at the top and not on the outside. It does dry items with or without drying liquids but I recommend using the drying agents. If you don't use them the glassware and flatware will be spotty as the machine dries using condensation and not actual heating elements.
A: The tub (bottom) of the unit is plastic. The sides, back, and top are all stainless steal.
A: Yes, it shines a bright red light on the floor when in cycle. Very, very quiet.
Q: Is this the type of stainless steel that is resistant to fingerprints?
A: Hi David. Thank you for your question. The SHXM4AY55N does have finger print resistant stainless steel.
A: Hi TD, thank you for your question. For Model:SHXM4AY55N the cutout height is 33 7/8 inches. Here are all of the dimensions for that model: Overall appliance dimensions: (HxWxD) (in) 33 7/8" x 23 9/16" x 22 9/16". Required cutout size: (HxWxD) (in) 33 7/8" x 24" x 24". We do have another model with the Bar Handle that has a cutout height of 32 1/8 inches. It is Model:SGX68U55UC.
A: My dishwasher did come with the insulation blanket. I ordered it online and had it delivered.
A: The top, back, sides and door are all stainless. The bottom of the tub is polypropylene. (With the rack in, of course, let alone any dishes, all you can really see is the stainless.) I believe you've got to go higher on the Bosch dishwasher model scale (?300, definitely 500, 800) to get all 6 internal surfaces in stainless. Since there are so many models at each level, and the specs don't run true at each model level (some of the 100's series cost more than some of the 300's) you've just got to look at the specs for each individual model you are considering buying.
