A:AnswerHi Zattack, thanks for your question and interest in Bosch! Models SHE53B75UC and SHEM63W55N are both 300 Series dishwashers that feature PrecisionWash®, where intelligent sensors and precision spray arms target every item in every load. Model SHE53B75UC is 46 dBA and has a capacity of 15 place settings versus 44 dBA and 16 place settings with model SHEM63W55N. Model SHE53B75UC also includes a water softener and Home Connect™ (WiFi enabled), which model SHEM63W55N does not have. SHE53B75UC has 6 wash cycles and 6 options compared to 5 wash cycles and 4 options with model SHEM63W55N. Both models dry using PureDry® condensation drying. This is an energy-efficient, closed drying system that does not pull in outside air or use an exposed heating element. It works by heating the dishes with hot water during the final rinse. The cooler stainless steel pulls moisture from the dishes. The inside of the unit will be wet at the end of the cycle, but the dishes should be dry. It's important to note that plastics don’t retain heat as well as other dishware materials and don’t dry as well. One of the biggest differences between the 300 and 500 Series models is drying capability. Our 500 Series dishwashers include AutoAir® in addition to using PureDry®. The AutoAir® feature automatically releases the door at the end of the drying cycle to let in fresh air and let out moisture for better final drying. If you have additional questions, please connect with our Customer Care team at 800-944-2904 for real-time assistance. Thank you for considering Bosch!
A:AnswerIt has a drying setting but it still is very wet after the cycle. We open the door after it is finished and the dishes dry very quickly. If you have any plastic cups or plates they will not dry. We don't have much plastic in our home so it hasn't been much of an issue but if something plastic goes in we always have to dry it with a towel.
A:AnswerHi Rajs. thank you for your question and interest in model #SHE53B75UC. The 3rd rack provides
the perfect space for silverware and large utensils while its V shape leaves room below for taller items. The upper rack (the one in the middle) is adjustable.
A:AnswerHi Richard, thanks for your question and interest in model # SHE53B75UC. The water temperature in this model can reach 162°F when the Sanitize feature is combined with the Heavy, Auto, and Normal cycles. The temperature can reach 172°F in other models of the 500, 800, and Benchmark Series.
A:AnswerYes this one does have a water softener. We purchased this specific model because of the Softener. It was confusing the way it is in the item title but not listed as a feature.
A:AnswerHi Pelliot, thanks for your question and interest in model # SHE53B75UC. This dishwasher model is not panel ready and therefore cannot accomodate a custom panel of any kind. Please accept our sincere apologies for any inconvenience this may cause.
A:AnswerI run the water through the kitchen faucet until it is hot. Then start the dishwasher. My hot water heater is in the garage, thus running water until it is hot before starting the dishwasher. Works well for me!
A:AnswerHi gb, thanks for your question and interest in Bosch products! The Home Connect® app is required to access all cycles. Beyond what is on the dishwasher control panel, Home Connect® allows access to app-'exclusive' wash cycles. Feel free to contact our customer care team at 1-800-944-2904 if you have additional product inquiries. Thank you again for considering Bosch.
A:AnswerHi, thank you for your question. Although an air gap is not included, we encourage you to check local building codes, as your locale may require an air gap. An air gap is not included with this appliance.
