Silent confirmation
of an age-old question.
Dishwashers
Dishwashers | 7
If a dishwasher is on and no one hears it, do your dishes still get clean? The only way
you’ll know the truth is to try a Bosch. We are the quietest brand in the U.S., and we’re
not shy about it. With a record low of just 39 dBA, we’re barely above a whisper. And
with all of this quiet, you still get the performance you expect from a Bosch.

Solid construction and enhanced insulation reduce vibration and add to overall
noise reduction.
47 dBA
A three-decibel increase is the
auditory equivalent of running
two dishwashers at once.
Efficiency
Most water-efficient
Bosch makes water work better by using less of it, as little as two gallons per
cycle. Our dishwashers can save nearly two gallons per cycle—about half as much
as the average dishwasher and 125% better than ENERGY STAR® standards—
without sacrificing cleaning performance. Bosch dishwashers can save 400 gallons
of water a year.***
Most energy-efficient
The 800 Plus is the most efficient dishwasher in the U.S.*** At 180 kilowatt
hours per year, the 800 Plus far exceeds the federal standard for efficiency.
ActiveWater™
Technology that utilizes design, water pressure and efficiency to turn two gallons
of water into the cleaning power of more than 1,300.
Flow-through water heater
Bosch dishwashers channel 100% of the water through tight coils in a confined
heating chamber, which heats the water quickly and efficiently.
Half-load
Use this cycle when washing small, lightly soiled loads that fill half or less of
the dishwasher’s capacity. The Auto Cycle uses sensor decisions to dramatically
reduce energy and water consumption.
Two-pump motor system
By using two small pumps to individually wash and drain instead of a single large
one, vibration and noise are dramatically reduced.
Suspension motor
We’ve suspended our two-pump motor system using rubber hammocks to help
absorb and minimize any vibration and noise.
InfoLight®
Sometimes your dishwasher will be so quiet, you won’t
know it’s on. That’s why there’s InfoLight, a small red light projected onto the floor to indicate that your
dishwasher is still in one of its cycles.
* Bosch offers the quietest dishwashers in North America, and no major brand offers a quieter model at any Bosch price point, June 2012. Price point defined by similarly
priced and designed models of major brands, obtained from competitors’ websites, June 2012.
**Based on noise measured as acoustic power per IEC standard.
***Based on standard-sized dishwashers of major manufacturers on energystar.gov, April 2012.
EcoSense®
Adjusts water and heat usage automatically to reduce energy usage by up to 20%
while minimizing water usage.

Quality
German-engineered quality
When we talk about German engineering, we’re talking about our commitment to producing the world’s
best products. That’s why Bosch is a best value and
ranked #1 by a leading consumer publication.
Good Housekeeping Seal
For more than 100 years, the Good Housekeeping
Seal of Approval has been reassuring consumers that
they’ve made the smart choice. Which is why we’re
proud that Bosch dishwashers are backed by the Good
Housekeeping Seal of Approval.
Quality testing
100% of our dishwashers are tested at our New Bern, North Carolina, factory,
and go through 485 individual quality control tests before being shipped. We
test dishwashers through their traditional lifespan, up to 4,000 wash cycles,
the equivalent of 10 years’ use.
Self-latching door
The self-latching door on our Ascenta dishwasher holds at any position, and
if your door is open at less than 20°, the door will automatically close and
latch shut.
Stainless steel tub
Bosch dishwashers’ high-quality stainless steel construction retains heat
better than plastic tubs, which helps dry dishes faster and more efficiently.
They also come with a lifetime warranty against rust-through, because not
all stainless steel tubs have the same quality.
Performance
Variable spray pressure
Higher and lower spray pressure allows for better load customization and enhanced
cleaning performance, based on the cycle that is selected.
Extra Tall Item sprinkler
Hand-washing large items becomes a thing of the past, thanks to this handy innovation.
Simply remove the top rack and place your serving platters, cookie sheets, hood filters
and refrigerator shelves that are up to 22" high in the bottom rack.
ActiveTab® system
Innovatively designed and integrated into the middle of the dishwasher, ActiveTab helps
dissolve detergent tablets more efficiently and effectively.
Water softener
The 80 0 Plus has a water-softening system that softens the water to the optimal level
and eliminates spots caused by lime deposits left behind by hard water.
Triple-filtration system
The triple-filtration system uses a three-step process to remove even the finest dirt
particles from the washing cycle, for sparkling-clean dishes and glasses every time. And
all three filter elements are self-cleaning for worry-free operation.
Auto Wash
By detecting the amount of water and debris that is drained from the dishwasher each
cycle, Auto Wash is able to optimize the amount of new water for following cycles, help-
ing to maximize water and energy efficiency while maintaining top performance.
Custom panel
Pairing a custom cabinet panel with your dishwasher enhances your kitchen’s
look by giving it a minimalist, avant-garde feel. Its sleek look disappears into
your cabinetry for a quietly flush installation.

Capacity
800 Plus third rack
Our unique V-shaped rack design helps to separate silver ware, making it easier to clean,
while providing extra room for large, odd-shaped cutlery and small dishes.
Place settings
Each Bosch dishwasher is designed to maximize space and flexibility. With some models
able to hold up to 15 place settings in one load, you get the space you need to organize
your dishes and clean them more efficiently.
RackMatic® and RackMatic Plus
The RackMatic and RackMatic Plus upper-basket height adjustment allows for one-step
adjustment of the racks when loaded. In two simple steps, customize loading flexibility
to accommodate large platters and tall glasses.
Silverware basket
The removable silverware basket can be placed anywhere in
the dishwasher, adding space for other items. Plus, the flexible
basket can be split into two pieces, placed side-by-side or
back-to-back, for the ultimate flexibility in loading.
Safety
AquaStop® and AquaStop Plus
Bosch is the only U.S. manufacturer to offer a high-tech leak-protection system in their
dishwashers. AquaStop is a precisely engineered tub and sensor system that detects leaks in
the solid molded base of the dishwasher, shuts down operation and automatically pumps out
water so it cannot make contact with the floor. This eliminates the risk of costly water damage.
The AquaStop Plus, available on the 800 Plus Series, includes an electro valve at the water tap
and a unique, double-walled hose system for the most comprehensive safety system available.
SaniDry™ condensation drying system
Condensation dr ying works by heating the dishes with hot water from the final rinse.
The closed system does not draw outside air into the dishwasher, which makes it the most
sanitary way to dr y dishes.
24/7 overflow protection system
Only the Ascenta® 24/7 overflow protection system senses leaks even if the dishwasher is
turned off. If water levels get too high, the dishwasher pumps the water out of the tub and
closes the water inlet.
No exposed heating element
Our concealed flow-through water heater
melting and protects you from accidental burns during unloading.
Sanitize option
By operating at a higher temperature, the sanitize option meets National Sanitation Foundation
(NSF) standards of cleanliness, eliminating 99.9% of bacteria, and enhances your drying
