Bosch Breaks the Soundless Barrier with the 800 Plus Dishwasher
At 40 dBA, the Company’s Quietest and Most Eco-Friendly Dishwasher Allows You to
Clean the Dishes without Clearing the Kitchen
Bosch appliances sets the bar low – Limbo low – with its new luxury dishwasher,
the 800 Plus. Engineered to be the most efficient dishwasher ever sold in North
America, the Bosch 800 Plus lowers utility bills and provides the lowest sound level
– just 40 dBA. Available now, the Bosch 800 Plus also raises the bar sky high in
terms of safety and performance.
“Bosch makes continual advancements in sound reduction by not only insulating the
traditional noise that comes from within the unit, but by eliminating the sources
of those noises,” said Michael Traub, President and CEO. ”The 800 Plus re-imagines
the dishwashing cycle, improving performance and efficiency while eliminating the
most identifiable dishwasher sounds: the drain snorkel and the water blast.”
About the 800 Plus Dishwasher
Quietness
Bosch became the first dishwasher manufacturer in North America to reach the 40
dBA benchmark thanks to several innovations:
- Brushless Direct Current (BLDC) Drain Pump senses when the water has finished
draining to eliminate the abrasive “snorkeling” sound.
- Improved Insulation: Two foam strips on the edges of the inner door and two
cotton fiber fleece strips along the back frame further sound proof the unit.
- Dosage Assist removes the sound of water spraying the dishwasher door to
break down the detergent. The 800 Plus is the first dishwasher specially designed
to accommodate detergent tabs which now account for 50 percent of detergent sales.
With Dosage Assist, detergent tabs fall into a tray inside the dishwasher cavity
to breakdown and dissolve at the optimal time for the best performance.
Energy Efficiency
The 800 Plus uses as low as 2 gallons of water per cycle, 70 percent less than
the average dishwasher, and operates on only 180 kWh/y of energy, an industry best.
Other eco-friendly features include:
- New Hydraulic System: uses less water and energy to clean dishes
- New Triple Filtration System: The Coarse Filter removes bigger debris and
food particles. The Fine Filter and Micro Filter grind and remove the smallest particles.
- Improved Load Sensor: recognizes quantity and type (glass, metal, china,
etc.) of dishes in the cavity and adjusts water consumption to provide the best
washing results.
Safety
- AquaStop™ Plus, Bosch’s patented four-part leak protection system, is the
most comprehensive safety package in the U.S. market, allowing consumers to comfortably
run the 800 Plus without fear of burst hoses and slow, floor-ruining leaks.
- Flow through water heater: heats all water passing through the chamber quickly
and efficiently, while ensuring accurate temperatures up to the 161 degrees sanitizing
temperature. Unlike dishwashers with an exposed heating element beneath the bottom
rack, Bosch’s embedded design allows consumers to place easily-melted items, like
plastic ware, anywhere in the chamber.
Convenience
- The 800 Plus holds up to 15 complete place settings.
- The Third Rack on the 800 Plus is V-shaped to fit silverware, bigger cutlery items
and small dishes.
- RackMatic® Plus easily adjusts the upper rack height to three levels. An
additional silverware basket offers flexible loading within the cavity.
- VarioFlex Plus Racks feature a total of 17 foldable elements in the upper
and lower baskets, allowing users to wash more dishes without increasing energy
or water consumption.
- A built-in water softener prevents the development of lime deposits in the machine.
With different areas of the country having different levels of hard water, the 800
Plus does the guess work, adjusting water to keep the machine running at optimal
performance.
- Stainless steel fascia panel and exclusive Piezo Touch Controls marry bold design
with one-touch functionality.
The Bosch 800 Plus dishwasher is available now in Evolution and Integra models,
with a MSRP ranging from $1,649 to $2,099.
