Key features

- Small dishwashing loads can be easily accommodated by the half load option.

Advantages

The Bosch SHX45P05UC 24" Integra 500 Series dishwasher has a 14 place setting capacity that allows several dishes to fit into the tub and the baskets for washing. The dishwasher model can also accommodate tall dishes with its extra tall sprinkler. The LED display indicates the remaining washing time, while the indicator lights at the bottom of the machine indicates if the machine is in use or working.

The machine also allows for a 30-minute quick wash for those light washing needs. You do not need to worry about forgetting your dishes as the machine has an end of cycle sound to alert you when it's done. You can save more energy by turning off the dishwasher when it's done cleaning, and you don't have to watch every second go by with this alert sound.

Disadvantages

Despite its several features, the Bosch SHX45P05UC lacks a child lock system. The absence of interior lights also entails difficulty in viewing the interior of the tub. Although the dishwasher is advertised to have a big dish capacity, the machine does not have a load sensor.

Users have to be careful in stacking too much dishes in the wide space. Although the dishes fit, other dishes may not receive the same washing levels as the other dishes. This is worsened by the fact that the dishwasher also does not have a variable spray pressure. The single pressure works at a disadvantage depending on the level of cleaning needed.
