What Makes our Dishwashers Quiet?

The secret to a silent dishwasher lies in its design and materials. Noise reducing technologies such as Bosch's EcoSilence™ motor system, precision spray arms and sound absorbing base further enhance quiet performance.

1. EcoSilence™ motor system: Near-silent motor technology offers quiet dishwashing during the wash and the draining.

2. Multiple insulation layers: Three layers of sound-absorbing insulation include coated stainless steel, baked-on bitumen and cotton fiber. Together, they all work to help dampen noise.

3. Precision spray arms: Innovative spraying arms which reduce noise by aiming directly at dishes and not the insides of the appliance.

4. Sound-Absorbing base: A solid molded base absorbs sound while minimizing vibrations.
