ORLANDO, FL -- (MARKET WIRE) -- February 6, 2007 -- Premium appliance manufacturer Bosch introduces
its latest appliances with the flexibility and advanced features that will
please both builders and homeowners at the 2007 International Builders'
Show. Bosch's new ENERGY STAR® qualified Integra® Refrigeration is a
customizable system of modular fresh, frozen and wine units that let you
optimize the cool storage capabilities of any kitchen, no matter the size
or shape. Bosch also adds an ECOWASH™ option to its ENERGY STAR®
qualified Nexxt washers to produce even greater energy savings, while
expanding the laundry collection with the new top-of-the-line 500 plus and
800 Series.
"We are pleased to introduce our new modular Integra Refrigeration, which
completes the Bosch kitchen and solidifies our brand as the leader in
products that meet builders' and homeowners' evolving needs," said Franz J.
Bosshard, president and CEO. "Bosch is also proud to demonstrate our
environmental leadership as the only manufacturer offering entire product
lines in the dishwasher, laundry and refrigeration categories that are all
ENERGY STAR qualified."
Other products Bosch will be showcasing at IBS include Integra Slide-In
Ranges, Evolution™ Free-Standing Ranges, award-winning Integra and
Evolution dishwashers, Evolution Refrigeration, gas and electric cooktops,
stackable Axxis™ laundry, ventilation and the Benvenuto™ Built-in
Fully Automatic coffee maker.
Integra Refrigeration
Highly customizable with multiple cooling and freezing units, Bosch's new
modular Integra Refrigeration meets the cool storage needs of any home,
while providing the ultimate in space efficiency, especially in smaller
homes such as lofts, condos and apartments. Available in 11 different
configurations of various width sizes -- including refrigerators, freezers,
dispenser freezers, wine coolers and 36" bottom-freezers -- this system
allows the builder, designer and consumer to tailor their refrigeration to
their own personal preferences.
Integra's flexible, compact design makes moving and installing much easier
than a conventional built-in refrigeration. Adding to the ease of
installation, custom door panels can be adjusted while attached to the
unit. A special hinge makes the door reversible, which is another
important feature when outfitting a small space.
Integra Refrigeration excels at food preservation and its consistent
temperature regulation and elevated humidity levels ensure that foods
remain fresher. The MAXBRIGHT Light System™ utilizes halogen light
towers and spotlights to make foods easier to see and locate, while the
MARKETFRESH Cool Air System™ keeps the refrigerator door as cool as the
rest of the unit -- so your milk stays as cold as items on the shelf. The
unique new ACTIVECHILL™ function quickly chills the water in the
dispenser, resulting in the constant availability of cold drinking water.
In addition, since each unit has its own evaporator and compressor, there
is no transfer of odor between the fridge and the freezer, and the built-in
carbon air filter eliminates odor within the unit. As with Bosch's
award-winning dishwashers and laundry, the Integra is one of the quietest
refrigeration systems on the market.
Nexxt Laundry
A single push of the "green" button makes maximizing energy savings easy
with the new ECOWASH™ option featured in Bosch's latest collection of
award-winning Nexxt washers. Bosch also expands the Nexxt Series with the
new premium 500 plus and 800 Series models, and the specialized "Jeans" and
"Comforter" cleaning programs, which finally take the guess work out of
washing these hard to launder items while ensuring a thorough clean without
damage to the articles.
Beyond being kind to the environment and to consumers' clothing, the
premium Nexxt 800 Series will be available in a new design aesthetic which
brings together the popular silver finish on the door with the simplicity
of a white body. Currently available in the 100, 500, 500 plus and the 800
Series, the Nexxt Collection offers a wide array of options that can fit
any lifestyle.
