The freestanding 14-place dishwasher combines quiet 42 dB operation with smart Home Connect control and focused drying cycles to leave loads ready to store. The Bosch Freestanding Dishwasher suits households that need reliable, low-noise cleaning and flexible loading.

Why busy households need ExtraDry
ExtraDry pairs a heat exchanger with an automatic door opening that reduces interior humidity at the end of a cycle. The mechanism prevents condensation, so glasses and cutlery leave the wash still and dry rather than damp.
ExtraDry guarantees plates and mugs are ready to put away straight from the rack, cutting the need for towel finishing. For families running multiple light loads across a day, the consistent moisture control saves time and keeps storage cupboards dry.
Mastering delicate glass care via Glass Care Technology
Glass Care softens incoming water to reduce lime‑scale build-up while HygienePlus runs high‑temperature cycles that remove bacteria from sensitive items. Home Connect enables remote starts and targeted programmes for fragile sets.
Glassware retains clarity and feels smoother after repeated cycles, preserving stems and finishes for longer. If you host wine nights, the combination of softened water and tailored cycles keeps glasses showroom‑clean between uses.
