Bosch Appliances 800 Series manual There is a lot to say about something so quiet, Quietness

2 Dishwashers

There is a lot to

say about something so quiet.

Quietness

You may have heard that Bosch is the quietest brand of dishwashers in the U.S.* and that there is no quieter dishwasher in any Bosch price point. Maybe you’re not hearing anything much at all. That’s because with three layers of sound-muffling material—metal, cotton-fiber insulation, and heavy- duty bitumen sheets—and our suspended, two-pump motor system that dramatically reduces vibration and noise, Bosch has created a kind of quiet that screams German engineering.

Engineering a quiet response

Quietest brand

Noise is measured in decibels (dBA).

A whisper is about 30 dBA, and a normal conversation is about 60 dBA. As the quietest dishwashers in the U.S.,*Bosch has a silence rating as low as 39 dBA, equivalent to that of a library. All Bosch quiet levels are certified by an independent lab.

*Bosch offers the quietest dishwasher in North American and no major brand offers a quieter model at any Bosch price point. Class defined by similarly priced and designed models of major brands, obtained from competitors' websites May 2011.
