We wrote the book on quiet.
The next chapter is flexibility.

Best-in-Class Quiet
Bosch looks at noise reduction from every angle, incorporating 18 unique sound-
reducing technologies. And as the quietest line of dishwashers in the U.S., all Bosch
quiet levels are certified by an independent lab
What’s a decibel?
Noise is measured in decibels (dBA).
A three decibel increase is the sound
power equivalent of running two
dishwashers at once.
Quietest
Dishwasher
Brand* in
North America
Our 800 Plus
model is the quietest
model in North America,
running at only 38 dBA.**
.
Multiple Insulation Layers
Multiple layers of
sound-absorbing
insulation: Coated
stainless steel, baked
on bitumen, and cotton
fiber dampen noise.

Detergent Tray
Optimized for tablets,
this tray holds detergent
in place for a dedicated
spray jet to directly
dissolve tablet and

door. (Note: dishwasher
also works with powder
and gel.)

EcoSilence™ Motor System
Two small
brushless motors
instead of a single
large one reduce
friction and work
more efficiently. Motors
are held by a rubber suspender
to absorb vibration.
Drain pump detects when water is
drained and stops motor immediately
to minimize snorkeling noise.
Solid Molded Base
Solid molded base absorbs
sound while
minimizing
vibration.
Spray Arm
Spray arms project water
directly towards dishes,
reducing noise.
InfoLight®/
TimeLight®
Triple-filtration System
Grindless system filters out food
particles,
eliminating the
need for a loud
food disposal.
* Based on an average of sound ratings contained in major brand’s websites. Major brands defined as TraQline Top 10 brands. September 2013.
** Based on sound ratings in the normal cycle, per IEC 60704-2-3 Standards, May 2013.
So quiet, we've added
a light to let you know
a cycle is running.

New Third Rack
What goes in a third rack? Anything you want. Bakers love the space for measuring
cups and beaters. Chefs love the space for whisks and ramekins. Parents love the
space for plastic containers. And some people use it instead of their silverware basket,
claiming extra space for dishes down below. At Bosch, we’ve engineered our third rack
to fit to your life and give you up to 30% more loading area*.
Expandable wings
1
allow for loading
more deep items.
Adjustable tines
2
allow for more
customized space
based upon the
size of awkward,
bulky items.

Unique v-shape of

our third rack
allows for easy
loading of extra
tall stemware in
the middle rack.
Flexible Third Rack
The center of our
4
V-shaped rack
provides the
perfect space for
large utensils or
ramekins.
5
Using the lower
position of
RackMatic®, our
middle rack can
load two rows of
highball glasses
or measuring cups,
even with the
third rack.
Whatever You Have, We Can Hold
16 Place Settings
Our racks fit 16 full place settings
including a dinner plate, salad
plate, bowl, mug and 16 5-piece
sets of cutlery.
Everyday Loads
Because a lot more goes in
dishwashers than dishes, our
racks are designed to fit mixed
loads of pots, pans and dishes,
allowing you to clean up after
dinner without any hand washing.

Security
Our roots in German engineering are part of what make Bosch unique. Every part of our
manufacturing process reflects meticulous thought and optimization. No gadgets. No gizmos.
We’re committed to offering straightforward technologies that improve daily life. In fact, no
one has fewer repairs than Bosch.*
Follow the quality of our products from the factory to a customer's home.
Thoughtful Engineering
Every part of our dishwashers reflect our high engineering standards.
Water Softener
Water softener
removes hard water
spots caused by lime
deposits and softens
water to the appropriate
level for superior
washing results.
SpeedPerfect™
SpeedPerfect delivers up to 25%
faster cleaning with excellent
results.
Quality Materials
Dishwasher Filter
Stainless Steel Tub
We start with high
quality stainless
steel that comes with
a lifetime warranty
against tub rust
through.
Our filter’s corrugated shape, inspired
by automotive filters,
offers greater surface
area for more
complete filtration.
Half Load Option
This option can be used when washing
small, lightly soiled loads that fill half or
less of the dishwasher’s capacity.
ActiveWater®
Technology that utilizes design,
water pressure and efficiency
to circulate 2.5 gallons of water
into the cleaning power of
more than 600 gallons.
Available on all models.
24/7 AquaStop®
AquaStop® is a precisely engineered tub and sensor system with a
solid molded base to contain leaks. If a leak has occurred, it shuts
down operation and automatically pumps out water to avoid
contact with the floor. Now it even works 24/7 and can turn
itself on.
Concealed Heating Element
Our concealed water heater prevents plastic items on the bottom
rack from melting and protects against accidental burns.
