Bosch Home Appliances has announced a major update to its dishwasher lineup, introducing the PowerControl™ spray arm technology in its 800 and Benchmark Series models. The new technology allows users to place items anywhere in the lower rack and program a dedicated wash intensity in each specific area, providing a more powerful clean for challenging items like pots, bowls, and casserole dishes. Recognizing that 54% of Americans engage in arguments about loading the dishwasher, Bosch aims to put an end to the great loading debate with this industry-leading innovation. A recent survey by Bosch revealed that 75% of participants believe there is a right way and a wrong way to load the dishwasher, with many admitting to rearranging dishes after someone else loaded them incorrectly. The PowerControl™ spray arm offers a solution to this issue by ensuring clean dishes regardless of where they are loaded.
The new dishwasher line also includes CrystalDry™, a patented drying technology that guarantees dishes are perfectly dry, even on hard-to-dry items such as plastics. CrystalDry™ reduces the need for towel or air drying, providing 60% better drying results. Additionally, the full portfolio of dishwashers now offers Home Connect®, a technology that allows users to monitor their dishwasher from anywhere. Home Connect® offers customization options for cycle and option combinations, as well as personalized settings for the PowerControl™ spray arm. It also enables smart reordering of detergent tabs, sends notifications when the cycle is completed, and provides status updates on a smartphone. The new dishwasher line features modern handle designs, fingerprint-resistant stainless steel, and intuitive touch controls on a sleek control panel.
The next-generation dishwasher line from Bosch will be available in July, with prices ranging from $549 to $1,799 at select retailers nationwide. With its innovative technology and focus on simplifying the cleaning process, Bosch aims to provide consumers with a comprehensive range of dishwashers that meet their individual needs.
