Every Bosch dishwasher is ENERGY STAR® qualified and exceeds the stringent 2007 federal energy standards. The entire collection features the ECOSENSE Wash Management System ?, which examines the soil level in water via an infrared light beam and customizes the wash cycle accordingly with 48 different options. Bosch?s ECOACTION? feature on select models takes energy efficiency to the next level by reducing energy consumption by up to an additional 25% ? with just the simple push of a button. These systems, along with other efficiency advancements, ensure that Bosch dishwashers use as little as 1.8 gallons of water per cycle while guaranteeing optimal wash results. In addition, the entire lineup also offers the Bosch exclusive AQUASTOP® system, a superior leak protection system that automatically shuts the dishwasher off should it detect water in the base of the unit.
