A:AnswerI can't see why it would matter where the water shutoff is. Most folks will be connecting to a sink where the drain hose goes, and you could have an extra water valve there. It has a water sensor in the bottom pan, which shuts off the incoming water if there is a leak. You can get a dishwasher water hose that shuts off if the water flow is too high. I suppose a plumber would want to install a shutoff valve near the dishwasher. I think that Bosch thought of just about everything.
A:AnswerI believe the 800 series and Benchmark models have the features you want. But from my experience with a smell issue with Crystal Dry on two units now, I personally would skip Crystal Dry.

A:AnswerHi Constance, thank you for your question and purchase of Model:SHPM78Z54N. We are sorry for the misinformation, this Dishwasher does not include an internal water softening unit.
A:AnswerI think you'll be fine.
First, the dishwasher height is adjustable. I think the listed height may be a minimum. I don't know exactly how adjustable it is, but it will go up at least half an inch, which would close the gap you are asking about. I suggest looking at the owners manual (on Bosch.com) to determine what the max height is.
If the height is not adjustable enough, you could cut a a piece of 1/4" plywood and placed under the dishwasher to raise it up a little more. With the bottom front panel and the black skirting on the dishwasher, this would probably not be visible.

A:AnswerHi ggs, thank you for question and interest in Model:SHPM88Z75N. 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. Choose from Not as Quiet (56 dBA or higher. You'll likely need to raise your voice); Quiet (50-55 dBA. Need to raise your voice slightly); Very Quiet (43-49 dBA. Easily have a conversation right next the appliance); and Nearly Silent (42 dBA or lower. You'll hardly know the appliance is on). The dBA on this Model is Nearly Silent. Bosch does make Models with no third rack, both in Stainless Steel Model: SHEM3AY55N - 50 dBA and Model: SHE3AR75UC - 50 dBA.
