Bosch and hhgregg Introduce New Exclusive Dishwasher Model

IRVINE, CA--(Marketwire - Mar 30, 2012) - Bosch home appliances and specialty retailer hhgregg are proud to introduce an exclusive new dishwasher to the hhgregg Bosch dishwasher lineup. Available now, this exclusive model, SHX43RH5UC, is the quietest model in its price class and is the most water- and energy-efficient, providing quality and powerful performance at an affordable price.

Bosch dishwashers are German-engineered with the latest technology to make the dishwasher operate as quietly as possible. Three layers of insulation capture the sound, while a two-pump motor system reduces vibration and noise to enable the dishwasher to operate at a near silent 48 dBA. Because the dishwasher is so silent, a small red light called InfoLight illuminates on the floor so that you know the dishwasher is in use.

"hhgregg is very excited to carry this Bosch dishwasher and to be able to provide a great exclusive value to our customers," said Jeff McClintic, senior vice president of appliances for hhgregg. "Bosch's dishwasher leadership coupled with our ability to help consumers select products right for them makes this a fantastic partnership."

With a full Stainless Steel tub and bar handle design, this model is perfect for homeowners that crave quality, form and function. The Duo-Flex silverware basket allows for easy loading and upgraded racks allow for height adjustment and more flexibility.

Bosch is the only U.S. manufacturer to offer a comprehensive leak protection system in its dishwashers. AquaStop sensors detect any leaks in the solid molded base of the dishwasher, shuts down operation and automatically pumps out water before any contact with the floors, eliminating the risk of costly water damage, and giving homeowners peace of mind.

"Bosch wouldn't be the dishwasher leader it is today without the help and support of our retailers," said Stephanie Hutaff, director of product marketing, dishwashers for Bosch home appliances. "This exclusive model for hhgregg offers homeowners the quality Bosch is known for at a value price with the added convenience of a well-known retailer that consumers trust and depend on."

Bosch dishwashers have been industry leaders for their unparalleled German engineering since their 1991 introduction in the United States. The Bosch 300 series provide efficiency and precise performance at an affordable price. Bosch home appliance produces the quietest line of dishwashers in North America.

Bosch, an ENERGY STAR partner since 2007, was recently recognized by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as a 2012 ENERGY STAR Sustained Excellence Award for the second year in a row in recognition of its continued leadership in protecting our environment through energy efficiency. This includes being the only U.S. appliance manufacturer with 100 percent of its major appliances ENERGY STAR-rated and exceeding federal energy standards in dishwashers by up to 97 percent.
