(Huntington Beach, CA - November 19, 2007) - Bosch, the appliance manufacturer known worldwide for setting industry standards in quietness and energy/water efficiency, announced today that its Evolution 800 Series SHE98 dishwasher has been selected as one of BuildingGreen's 2007 Top-10 Green Building Products. This annual award recognizes the most innovative products added to the GreenSpec® Directory during the past year or covered in Environmental Building News. Bosch's top of the line Evolution 800 Series dishwasher, which is the quietest and most energy efficient model in the country, was chosen for both its high efficiency and water saving attributes.

"Bosch is dedicated to developing and manufacturing high efficiency appliances that contribute towards sustainable living and is honored to be recognized for its efforts," said Franz J.

"As an appliance manufacturer whose products are regularly featured in green housing developments across the country, this industry award is particularly meaningful."

Evolution 800 Series SHE98 dishwasher

Bosch dishwashers are the quietest and most efficient in the industry, with premium models boasting a 42dBA sound level, virtually undetectable while running, while also leading the way in energy and water efficiency. Every Bosch dishwasher is ENERGY STAR® qualified and exceeds the stringent 2007 federal energy standards. The entire collection also features the ECOSENSE Wash Management System™, which examines the soil level in the water via an infrared light beam and customizes the wash cycle accordingly with 48 different options. Bosch's new ECOACTION™ feature on select models takes energy efficiency to the next level by reducing energy consumption by up to an additional 25% - with just the simple push of a button.

These systems, along with other efficiency advancements, ensure that Bosch dishwashers use as little as 1.8 gallons of water per cycle while guaranteeing optimal wash results. In addition, the entire lineup offers the exclusive AQUASTOP® system, a superior leak protection system that automatically shuts the dishwasher off should it detect water in the base of the unit.
