We've long recognized Bosch as a household name for upscale, sleek appliances that deliver both aesthetics and ingenuity with impressive results. Bosch dishwashers, in particular, have impressed Reviewed's lab team time and time again, earning the top ranking title on our list of the best dishwashers.

That's because the brand has historically excelled in producing some of the quietest, best drying, and most reliable dishwashers on the market. And in 2023, that bar is only going higher.

The brand announced some of its latest innovations to make the dreaded dishwashing chore a more pleasant, customizable, and low-effort experience with its updated models.

Bosch's new line of dishwashers all benefit from sleek touch controls and anti-fingerprint design.

All Bosch dishwasher series can expect an upgrade in appearance, with user-friendly touch controls and an anti-fingerprint design that's as beautiful as it is functional. But in addition to its cosmetic advances, there are some standout usability upgrades that will change dishwashing forever.

From ultra-customizable cycles that'll suit your family's needs to a spray arm that will polish every nook of a crammed cycle, these upgrades are designed to simplify the dishwashing process. Here are some standout features to expect in Bosch's latest models—from the mid-level 300 series to the high-end Benchmark series and beyond.

The PowerControl spray arm uses customizable technology to provide more power where you need it in any given cycle.

Possibly the most exciting and innovative aspect of the brand's 2023 dishwasher innovation is the brand-new PowerControl spray arm technology, which will be featured in the Bosch 800 series and Benchmark series dishwashers.

This new feature works to deliver targeted, powerful cleaning results on any section of the bottom rack that you choose, resulting in dishes that get a 30% better cleaning performance. So those casserole trays with caked-on stains can benefit from the treatment of a specialized spray arm for seriously clean results—no pre-rinsing required.

And those customizations can either be made on the dishwasher's control panel, or through more in-depth personalizations in the HomeConnect app (more on that next).

Bosch's Home Connect app wants to make daily dish chores less of a headache.

We've lauded Bosch's Home Connect app in the past for its ability to conveniently streamline things like remote functionality, alerts, and automations with the brand's large and small appliances.

Now the app is expanding its functionality further, with upgrades like its new Smart Cycle feature. This allows users to customize each unique cycle they run, so they can be confident their dishes will come out clean every time (without wasting energy and water).

Upon launching Smart Cycle feature, users will be asked three questions: What items are you washing?, How dirty are your dishes?, and What are your priorities with this load? From there, the appliance will work its own magic, offering guidance to achieve the best results with minimal effort.

The Home Connect app also works to keep homes safe in the unlikely event of a leak, immediately notifying the user via the app and using AquaStop technology to shut down dishwasher operations and pump the water out on its own.

Plus, the Home Connect app offers additional convenient features to streamline everyday tasks, like hands-free voice control, notifications when the cycle is complete, and even the ability to automatically re-order detergent when you're running low.

Best yet, every new Bosch dishwasher model—from the Bosch 100 series to the Bosch 500 series and beyond—will benefit from these app-integrated upgrades. So Bosch customers with any budget can take advantage of the connectivity.

“From incredible performance to modern design and advanced connectivity, we’re bringing consumers a full suite of dishwashers to help simplify the cleaning process while still getting perfectly clean and dry dishes,"said Puri Romeo, the Bosch Brand Director. "From the 100 Series to the Benchmark Series, there is a dishwasher in this new line fit for everyone’s needs.”
