  • Key Specs
    • Color Finish: Stainless steel
    • Product Height: 32 1/16 inches (The out of box height of the item. Height is measured as the vertical distance from the bottom of the item to the top as it would be primarily used or placed.)

Easily have a conversation right next the appliance); and Nearly Silent (42 dBA or lower. You'll hardly know the appliance is on).)
    • Number Of Racks: 3
    • Tub Finish: Stainless steel (Certain coatings or materials on the inside of the dishwasher, such as stainless steel, are more durable, retain heat better, and can withstand higher temperatures than materials such as plastic. These higher quality materials may increase the appliance’s efficiency, but there may be also be extra initial cost. Some models marketed as Hybrid will use both materials in the tub, often using stainless steel on the interior door to increase durability on the part of the appliance with the most common wear and tear.)

  • Features
    • Hard Food Disposer: false (This feature has blades to chop and disintegrate hard food particles, making them small enough to easily drain away. This prevents them from being recirculated back onto dishware and allows for easy maintenance.)
    • Drying Method: Heated drying (Appliances that use heat to dry the dishes will include a heating element or minerals which transform moisture into heat. A fan or vent then circulates the hot dry air throughout the tub during the drying cycle. This may reduce drying time and the risk of water spots. Appliances that use minerals to produce heat are considered more energy efficient than those that include a heating element. Appliances that use condensation drying are considered more energy efficient than those that use heated drying. Instead, high temperature water is produced during the final rinse cycle which warms the interior and eventually condensates and drains out of the machine.)
    • Operating Sound Level: 46 decibels adjusted (Today's appliances are pretty quiet. To get a sense for how quiet you'll need, think about having a conversation in the same room.

Q: What are the measurements with the door open? Thank you.

A: The unit dimensions can be found in the product listing; when my dishwasher is open, the top of the top extends 23.5" from the counter edge.

Q: Hi Ref Model SPE53C55UC.. Is the inside tube stainless?

A: Hi Paul, thanks for your question. Yes, the inside tub of model SPE53C55UC is stainless steel.

Q: Is it possible to disable the Wi-Fi?

A: Hi ppp444, yes, you are able to turn off the wi-fi on this model. Should you require assistance with turning off the setting, our Customer Care Team is available at 1-800-944-2904. Please know we are here to help. Thank you.

Q: Does this dishwasher have hot heat drying function?

A: Hi Bosch18, thanks for your question. Our dishwashers are designed to dry using the PureDry® condensation drying system. This is an energy-efficient, closed drying system that does not pull in outside air or use an exposed heating element. This process works by heating the dishes with hot water during the final rinse. The cooler stainless steel pulls moisture from the dishes. Model SPE53C55UC also has an Extra Dry option that can be turned on.

Q: Is the stainless fingerprint resistant?

A: Hi, thanks for your question. Yes, model SPE53C55UC is designed to be fingerprint resistant.

Q: does it come with the plug in and ready use? or does the technician have to put it together?

A: It comes assembled and plugs directly into a 110v socket, but you'll probably want a plumber/installer to secure it to the counter, properly connect all the hoses, and to make sure everything is working as expected.

    Superb Performance, Quality, and Capacity!

    Fantastically quiet! Space saving design is great! Well-though rack configuration allows plenty of space for plates, bowls, glasses—holds way more than expected. Plenty of room for family of four. The third rack is amazingly useful!

    Small and quiet

    It’s only been in for a few weeks, but this dishwasher has been ran daily since I installed it. We have a limited sized kitchen, I had to cut out four drawers just to get this little guy to fit. But finally, no more sink full of dishes. Thing is quiet as can be and cleans great. Some dishes with a concave (like our bowls) hold a bit of water on top after a cycle but other than that this thing is perfect for our needs.
