In-stock, Bosch, pocket-handle models at Appliances Connection:

• Bosch SGE53B55UC
• Bosch SHP865ZD5N
• Bosch SHEM3AY55N

We ordered a Bosch dishwasher back in April as well and we've been told it's arriving March 2023. This is the latest delay update.

@terencel is that an update from Bosch directly?

Have you checked Best Buy for the SHPM78Z55N? The DC Best Buy shows this model available for delivery on October 10, installation on October 14, and pickup on October 12. Also for delivery by October 13 at Home Depot (there are online reviews from late September).

@wdccruise I just checked and it's unavailable / out of stock at both Best Buy and Home Depot

I've been waiting since August 2021. Was told two more months a month ago.

I ordered Bosch back in January 2022. Was told wasn’t going to get them until 2024 I just bought GE dishwashers. I couldn’t wait

10/17: Appliances Connection website shows more than 10 available of both of the following pocket-handle dishwashers:

• Bosch SGE53B55UC
• Bosch SHEM3AY55N

Ordered a Bosch dishwasher in October of last year. I have a delivery estimate of 10/28….we’ll see if it arrives!

To clarify, I'm waiting on a SHXM65Z55N. Was not given any indication that I could get a similar model faster but I should verify that.

@youngangle: "I'm waiting on a SHXM65Z55N."

The Bosch SHXM65Z55N is a bar-handle dishwasher. The Bosch SHXM4AY55N is also a bar-handle model. Appliances Connection shows more than 10 available. Best Buy also has them in my area (DC).

@Mimosa ROAD — did you ever receive your dishwasher?

😂 of course not! On 10/27, it got pushed to the end of November. I cancelled the order and was able to get a slightly different 800 series DW through Lowes in 5 days. So at least I still got a Bosch, but just a different version.

Thanks for the speedy reply @Mimosa ROAD — I ordered in May and had no idea the stock issues were THIS bad. Last estimate my rep gave me was December but he said "he didn't believe it." We're about to order the panel, so I'm going to have to look for alternatives.

Update: I found the SHVM78Z53N in stock at ABT and it's supposed to get delivered within 10 days!

@baybuildin not yet. Been waiting since April

I think we're calling it quits! We ordered a 300 series SHVM63W53N in April 2022 with an initial delivery for Oct 2022, then Dec, then March 2023, now it won't be available until May 2023. We're looking at alternatives now, potentially going with the KitchenAid KDTM704LPA.

@Terence L: "I think we're calling it quits!"

You might check out the Beko DIT39434 (specs) panel-ready dishwasher as described in these Yale Appliance videos.

Obviously Yale Appliance is a retailer that wants to sell appliances, not an objective testing organization.

Ours took 14 months from June 2021 to August 2022! It's in our garage now awaiting installation!

I ordered a Bosch SHP865ZD5N (pocket handle) about 3 weeks ago and its getting here Monday. It was scheduled to arrive today but I couldn't be there to sign for it. Maybe it's the bar handle models that are so delayed. I compared the one I ordered to the SHXM65Z55N and the main difference is the handle and the 55N has a delicate cycle. If the handle isn't that big of a deal I would order the pocket door instead of waiting another 6-8 months for a dishwasher.

We ordered ours in October 2021. First delivery date was April, then November, now February 2023… Thankfully, we have a loaner.

One more update — we did order the dishwasher from ABT - Bosch 800 panel-ready SHVM78Z53N - and it was successfully delivered a week later. They also price matched our order (but we still had to pay $69 delivery, which was worth it for the reassurance we'd have a functioning dishwasher). We canceled our original order with no fuss. It's still in stock if anyone is looking!

I ended up with the pocket handle version - delivered and installed on Halloween. Works great and really quiet so maybe worth the 14 month wait?? Hahaha.

I bought this same model in stainless steel in September and had it installed within the week of buying it. It was in stock at multiple Home Depots in my area.

So our Bosch dishwasher showed up damaged and had to be returned. now everyone is out of stock of the 500 series. Have any of my Houzz peeps found any available?? I originally ordered from Appliances Connection but it took a month to get an "in stock" dishwasher shipped.

@Nancy, SHPM65Z55N is in stock at Lowe’s in my area. It had been consistently in stock at Home Depot since at least August until I checked this morning.
