Features:

A smarter clean with PrecisionWash®

With Bosch PrecisionWash®, simply start your dishwasher and walk away. Intelligent sensors continually scan and check the progress of dishes throughout the cycle, and powerful, precision spray arms go to work targeting every item of every load. So when your dishes are done, so are you.

The ultimate dry with CrystalDry™

At Bosch, we believe dishes should receive a powerful clean and then be thoroughly dry. Patented CrystalDry™ technology transforms moisture into heat up to 176˚F to get dishes drier, so you can put away your plastic dishes immediately into the cupboard when the dishwasher is finished.

44 dBA – the quietest dishwasher brand in the U.S.*

A range of technologies makes Bosch the quietest dishwasher brand in the U.S.* with impressively low decibel levels. For you, that means never having to wait until going to bed to run the dishwasher. *Based on an average of sound ratings of 24" Full Size Stainless Steel Tub dishwashers contained in major brands websites.

Loading flexibility with a 3rd rack dishwasher

The Standard 3rd Rack provides the perfect space for flatware, large utensils, measuring cups, or nearly anything else that’s difficult to fit in a traditional dishwasher, while its V shape leaves room below both sides for taller items like stemware in the middle rack.

Enhance your cleaning experience with Wi-Fi enabled Home Connect®

Smart Cycle takes the guesswork out of cycle selection by quickly helping you identify and save the best program combination for your needs. Now you can clean smarter, not harder – only with Home Connect®

Fit in tall items with RackMatic®

RackMatic® easily adjusts to three different heights and up to nine separate rack positions, allowing taller items like stemware to fit in the middle rack while leaving room for pots and pans below.

Newly redesigned EasyGlide™ rack system for a smooth glide on all three racks

The EasyGlide™ rack system is redesigned to give you a smooth glide on all three racks—even when it’s fully loaded.
