There’s no better feeling than coming home from a long day to find an empty sink with no dishes to clean. Ever since the invention of the dishwasher more than 170 years ago, homeowners have enjoyed the extra hand in the kitchen. We take all the help we can get!
Dishwashers have come a long way since their humble beginnings. They were a luxury item until about the 1950s and grew into a household staple by the 1970s. Nowadays the majority of Americans have one.
The basic economic model of supply and demand says that when there’s a high demand, there needs to be a high supply—which means there are a lot of options out there. In this article we will zero in on Bosch dishwashers and take a look at why they are ranked so high in the dishwashing game, by examining their strong features and benefits:
According to a survey of over 8,000 customers, Bosch dishwashers take the cake as the most trusted dishwasher brand in 2022. This is not the first time Bosch ranked highest as America’s most trusted dishwasher brand. This is the fourth consecutive year where Bosch has taken the number one spot.
Like most brands, Bosch has different levels and series of machines on the market. Each machine shares similar features, but the higher series tend to offer a few more perks.
When you’re ready to start relaxing after a long day, listening to the hum of a dishwasher is not something you want to hear. This is especially true if you have an open floor plan or an eat-in kitchen.
Bosch is an industry leader in quiet built-in dishwashers for the home and typically comes in on the quieter side compared to lower-end models. Each dishwasher is constructed with 18 sound-reducing technologies like two-layer insulation, quiet spray arms that target dishes instead of the tub, and a mesh filter system that quietly eliminates the food.
A Bosch dishwasher is one of the quietest dishwasher brands in the U.S. with some of the nicer models coming in as low as 39 decibals. The lower-end Bosch dishwashers range from 44-50 decibals, which is still pretty impressive.
The Benchmark Series is Bosch’s cream of the crop with a 38-39 dBA rating. The model that we carry that receives the highest rating in the noise category is either the Bosch 800 Series or the Bosch 300 Series where customers have said they have to go up to the machine to make sure it’s actually running! Even the Bosch 100 Series has several reviews that mention if it weren’t for the light, they wouldn’t know it was busy cleaning their dishes.
If you’re cleaning your dishes before putting them in the dishwasher, then you’re working too hard, according to the experts at Bosch. All Bosch dishwashers have PrecisionWash™ technology that gives homeowners all the confidence in the world that their dishes are being well taken care of and will come out squeaky clean every time.
You can skip the pre-rinse with any Bosch dishwasher thanks to their intelligent sensors that continually scan and monitor the stages of the dishes during the cycle. Those quiet precision spray arms come into the picture again by targeting each and every dish and utensil of each load to provide the best results.
If your washing machine doesn’t wash and dry, then it’s slacking. Bosch offers a couple of different drying options that will make the chore even more efficient.
PureDry™ is their base drying system that is featured on all Bosch dishwashers, which has a sanitize option that wraps up each cycle with an extra hot wash that heats the water to 162 degrees. This helps get your dishes extremely clean, sanitized, and dry.
Raise your hand if you’ve run your washer only to find your plastic cups and Tupperware are still dripping wet. It seems that Bosch has also had enough of it and stepped up to create a solution. If you’re looking for the ultimate drying system that can successfully dry those pesky plastics, then you should opt for a machine with their CrystalDry™ technology. Their patented tech morphs moisture into heat to get your items 60% drier compared to the PureDry™ models.
The Bosch 500 Series dishwashers automatically release the door after the cycle is complete to let moisture out and fresh air in with their AutoAir™ technology.
Bosch third rack dishwashers let you have more loading convenience and more loading capacity. These models allow for more loading flexibility than your standard dishwasher, which gives you more ways to maximize and fill your dishwasher.
It’s a sliding rack located at the top of the dishwasher that gives you more space for odd-shaped pieces and that frees up space in the lower areas. This gives you the ability to make the most out of your cycle.
There are three different third rack designs offered by Bosch. Each provides a nice space for your flatware, large utensils, measuring cups, and even small bowls.
The MyWay™ rack gives you more room to stow away your smaller items like cereal bowls, whisks, tongs, and even large measuring cups. This creates more loading room below, which grants you more freedom to load what you want and how you want.
The Flexible third rack has expandable wings that are designed to make it easy to lower to accommodate more of your deeper-sitting items. The adjustable tines give you the option to customize the rack’s loading area to squeeze in those awkward-sized items.
There’s nothing really standard about their Standard third rack. This option allows you to have the perfect space to add flatware, large utensils, measuring cups, and other miscellaneous items. It features a special V shape, which leaves room on the middle rack for taller things like stemware.
Bosch dishwashers have made quite the name for themselves over the years. They are indeed an industry leader in the dishwashing world, and for good reason. When an appliance is built to last and is so efficient, it’s one less thing to worry about in your busy life.
Each dishwasher is constructed of stainless steel. The classic design looks sleek in your kitchen and is a more energy-efficient option because they don’t require powerful heating elements. This means they require less energy during the drying process.
Bosch of course offers other styling options for those who desire more flair in their kitchen. If your kitchen is frequented by young kids who love putting their hands on anything in sight, the black stainless steel is a good way to go since it helps protect against fingerprints and abrasions.
They also offer black, white, and panel-ready dishwashers that are ready to be dressed with a custom panel to blend in beautifully with your existing cabinetry.
There is quality in the details of each Bosch dishwasher machine. Every machine must pass 485 quality checks before it can leave the factory. This means each dishwasher is going to deliver the quality one would expect from a Bosch product and give homeowners the peace of mind they’re after when it comes to investing in an appliance meant to last.
A Bosch dishwasher also has the added benefit of having different handle types. Everyone has a personal preference when it comes to how to open their machine, and Bosch recognizes the importance of offering multiple options to their customers.
Every Bosch dishwasher is ENERGY STAR® qualified and energy efficient. The ENERGY STAR label means a product has been designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and other pollutants caused by the inefficient use of energy, and to help consumers identify products that are energy efficient without sacrificing performance.
Investing in a decent dishwasher can give your cleaning routine a much needed hand. With all the other things on your list to do and chores to keep up with, having a solid dishwasher can make your life a lot easier. Bosch even offers a Home Connect app that allows you to remotely check your cycle status and run diagnostics right from your phone.
