According to the bosch-home.com website this model does not exist anywhere, the closest is SHX65T55UC, are you sure you didn't misread the label?

I grabbed that SKU off my Abt invoice but it's actually a SHX65T55UC/07 per the door label. It's a 500 series model. SKUs change all the time, especially after 7 years.

Have you checked the manual?, it clearly states that the express modes are for reduced levels of cleaning.

That's true. What really happens is this:

- The dishwasher runs balls-out for 40 minutes so it's noisier. (Bosch sells a lot of units on its reputation of being ultra quiet)

- Manual mode doesn't check the soil sensor while washing.

- There is no drying cycle, which is the bulk of a two hour wash.

So if you're okay with that, Manual works just fine for most everyday loads and is pretty much the equivalent of the old school DWs and how they worked.
