Bosch Takes Silence to the Next Level with Innovative Dishwasher Line

Toronto, ON (May 15, 2013) – Bosch, the quietest dishwasher brand in North America, today announced the launch of its next generation dishwasher line. Built on a completely new stainless steel platform, the new Bosch dishwashers feature an added third rack, sleek European design and the virtually silent performance that is the hallmark of Bosch dishwashers.

“At Bosch we pride ourselves in pushing the limits of design and innovation to engineer high quality appliances that exceed our customers’ expectations,” said Steve Preiner, Director of Marketing, BSH Appliances. “Our engineers and designers took the uncompromising quality, stunning design and quietness of our Bosch dishwashers to the next level to develop our most exceptional dishwasher line to date.”

European Design

A sleek, modern European look has long been sought after in kitchen design. The redesigned dishwasher line incorporates a full-size stainless steel tub enabling the use of larger racks for enhanced loading ability, while still maintaining flush installation capabilities. Four design options including recessed handle, bar handle, flush handle and custom panel are available. The new flush handle offers a distinctive, clean look that integrates seamlessly into contemporary kitchen designs without a handle obtruding from the fascia. Stainless steel, white and black designs perfectly complement today’s modern stylings. Rounding out the European look that is uniquely Bosch are ergonomically designed control panels for perfect visibility.

Third Rack

Bosch has taken flexibility to the next level with the introduction of a third rack into its new dishwasher line. This high-end feature is now also available in Bosch’s 500 and 800 series models. The third rack adds 30 per cent more loading area while providing increased flexibility. The unique v-shaped third rack allows room for long-stemmed wine glasses on the second rack, while the center of the v-shaped rack provides the perfect space for large items and cooking utensils.

Best-in-Class Quiet

Bosch has made the 800 Plus, the quietest dishwasher in North America, even quieter achieving an industry best 38 dBA performance. Research shows that noise is the number one factor for consumers when choosing a dishwasher. For this reason, Bosch engineers address noise reduction from every angle, incorporating 18 unique sound-reduction technologies that combine to make Bosch the quietest dishwasher brand in North America. In fact, Bosch dishwashers are so quiet that an InfoLight has been included in select models to let consumers know their dishwasher is running. A new TimeLight feature which indicates the time remaining is available in the 800 Plus series models. Bosch dishwashers also feature industry-leading innovations such as two Eco-Silence brushless motors and a grindless, triple filtration system to reduce noise, vibration and the need for a loud food disposal.

Exacting Quality

Part of what makes Bosch dishwashers so exceptional are the strict standards of German engineering that they are built to. From quality materials and sound reduction technologies to extreme testing, including 485 points of quality checks, exacting quality is built into every Bosch dishwasher. These are the reasons Bosch is ranked highest in customer satisfaction by J.D. Power and Associates and is an ENERGY STAR Sustained Excellence Award recipient.
