Bosch’s most notable badge of honor may be that its dishwashers are so quiet - some models as low as 38 dBA - that you’ll need some sort of visual indicator to even know it’s running. That’s important when you consider that research has found noise to be the #1 factor for consumers when choosing a dishwasher. For this reason, Bosch engineers address noise reduction from every angle, incorporating 18 unique sound-reduction technologies that combine to make Bosch the quietest dishwasher brand in North America. Question is, how do they do it?
Here are the highlights:
- Multiple layers of sound-absorbing insulation dampen noise.
- The patented EcoSilence™ Motor System features frictionless, brushless motors that help to contain motion and reduce noise by about 25%.
- A solid molded base absorbs sound while minimizing vibration.
- A grindless system triple filters food particles, so there’s no need for a loud internal food disposal.
- Spray arms project water towards your dishes – not the door – further reducing noise.
When all of these come together, you have a machine that literally operates at just above whisper. So quiet, in fact, that you’ll come to love the visual indicators that tell you when the machine is running and for how much longer.
