Bosch Integra 500 Series 4 Cycle Dishwasher w/ EcoSense - SHX45M0 1UC / 2UC / 5UC / 6UC

Recognized for their quality manufacturing, Bosch Integra® 500 Series Dishwashers are backed by the Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval.

• Two-Pump Motor System : By using two small pumps to individually wash and drain instead of a single large one, vibration and noise are dramatically reduced. Smaller parts and a more contained motion contribute an important part to our sound-reduction system, leaving you amazed that the dishwasher is even on.
• Suspension Motor : The more isolated a motor is, the less its vibrations can be transferred. So Bosch suspended the two-pump motor to help absorb and minimize any vibration and noise to the housing, as it is absorbed by rubber hammocks, letting you enjoy your time in the kitchen whether the dishwasher is running or not.
• Solid Molded Base : Preventing noise and leaks are what makes a good dishwasher a great one. That’s why Bosch is the only U.S. manufacturer to give all dishwashers a solid molded base. The single-piece base effectively contains sound, and prevents leaks by automatically shutting down if water is detected in the base.
• Insulation : Noise is also buried beneath the three layers of insulation inside near-silent dishwashers. Metal, cotton fiber and heavy-duty bitumen sheets capture and dampen sound to create a decibel level no louder than raindrops.
• INFOLIGHT : Bosch top models are so quiet, you may not even know they’re on. That’s why they designed a light that beams onto the floor when it’s running.
• ECOSENSE™ : An advanced sensor system determines the soil level in the wash water and automatically deletes fresh water fills if they’re not needed, saving you time and money while cutting energy usage by 20%.
• Flow Through Water Heater : In conventional dishwashers, water falls randomly onto an exposed heating element. And since not all the water touches the heating element, this results in slower and less energy-efficient heating. Bosch dishwashers, on the other hand, channel 100% of the water through tighter coils in a confined heating chamber, which heats the water quickly and efficiently up to 161 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Condensation Drying : Built with a solid stainless steel tub, Bosch dishwashers utilize condensation drying to save you money on your energy bills. Condensation drying works by heating the dishes with hot water from the final rinse. Moisture condenses on the cool stainless steel tub and is drained, so your clean dishes dry without an energy-wasting active drying element.
• Optional Half Load Wash : Use this option when washing small, lightly soiled loads that fill half or less of the dishwasher’s capacity on both the top and bottom racks. It dramatically reduces energy and water consumption, and can be used with the Power Scrub Plus, Regular and Auto Wash cycles.
• ENERGY STAR® Qualified : Proving once again that Bosch is committed to efficiency, all dishwashers are ENERGY STAR® qualified.
• NSF Certified Units and Cycles
• AQUASTOP : Bosch is the only U.S. manufacturer to offer a high-tech leak protection system like AQUASTOP® in their whole line of dishwashers. A precisely engineered tub and sensor system detects leaks in the solid molded base of the dishwasher, shuts down operation and automatically pumps out water before contact with floors. This eliminates the risk of costly water and mold damage.
• PERFECTDOOR with AUTOCLOSE : Falling dishwasher doors are a thing of the past. Bosch specially engineered PERFECTDOOR™ to stay in a fixed position when it is open more than 10 degrees. This increases safety by eliminating the possibility of the door dropping open or springing closed suddenly.
• No Exposed Heating Element : Because the Flow Through Water Heater is not located in the tub and has no exposed heating element, it prevents plastic items on the bottom rack from melting. It has the added benefit of protecting you from accidental burns during unloading.
• QUICKWASH : fastest cycle yet, this feature allows you to wash six place settings in just 30 minutes. It’s perfect for times when you need to wash a small load quickly.
• Optional Delay Start : With a nineteen or twenty-four hour timer, Bosch dishwashers work on your schedule. Program them to start once guests leave or after you’ve drifted off to sleep. Wait until you’re out of the house, or run it in off-peak evening hours for even greater savings on your energy bill.
• Extra Capacity : More capacity means more convenience. So Bosch dishwashers have extra-large interior space, allowing you to fit 14 place settings rather than the industry standard of 12.
• Stainless Steel TALLTUB : The specially engineered Bosch TALLTUB is not only space efficient, but energy efficient. Allowing up to an incredible 22" of usable space when you remove the top rack, its high-quality stainless steel construction retains heat better than plastic tubs, which helps dry dishes faster and more efficiently.
• RACKMATIC : To accommodate large or oddly shaped dishes, RACKMATIC® allows you to raise or lower the premium upper rack at the touch of a lever (even when full), giving you up to 14" of space on the bottom or 10" on top.
• 4 Wash Cycles
