Household Appliances

Leading home appliance manufacturer, Bosch, is celebrating 40 years of dishwasher manufacturing with the launch of the innovative Classic range into the New Zealand market.

Over the last 40 years, Bosch has developed a reputation as the industry leader in dishwashing expertise and technology, and the new Classic range is a great example of the innovation that has led to Bosch’s current status as the number one brand in Europe.

The Classic range showcases recent technological advancements in noise reduction, along with improved water and energy efficiency. Features include fully-electronic programming and temperature selection; flexible basket layout; time displays; and a handy half-load option.

To celebrate its 40th anniversary, Bosch offered its customers the chance to win back the purchase price of a Bosch dishwasher. In addition to this exciting offer, Bosch will also included a Bonus 'Tall Item Spray Head' with the first 7,000 Classic models purchased, at no extra charge. This accessory, which is unique to Bosch, allows items such as range-hood filters, refrigeration shelves, baking dishes, and other tall items to be washed in the lower basket of the dishwasher.

Always innovators in design, Bosch has developed the ‘built under’ model of the Classic range with the exclusive option of removing the front and side panels, allowing adjustment of the height of the door upwards to meet existing cabinetry. The stainless steel models in the range also match Bosch oven control knobs exactly, providing smooth and consistent lines in your kitchen.

Bosch dishwashers are manufactured in the world’s largest dishwasher factory in Dillingen, Germany.
