Bosch dishwasher - new Ascenta dishwashers
The Energy Star qualified SHE4AM1 belongs to the new Bosch dishwasher line - Ascenta. This Bosch premium dishwasher offers high efficiency, quiet performance and visually appealing design. It also comes with exclusive EcoSense Wash Management System, which examines the soil level in the water and customizes the water consumption and heat to save on energy costs. Another innovative feature is a revolutionary new wash tub made from stainless steel with a reinforced polypropylene base, a first in the U.S. High-quality, long-term tested polypropylene makes the tub of these Bosch dishwashers significantly more durable than conventional all-plastic tubs. Bosch also incorporated a Half Load option and the exclusive QuickWash program, making this dishwasher quite fast and energy efficient. This convenient program runs a quick 30-minute cycle for smaller loads or less soiled dishes, helping to save both time and energy. Ascenta is also one of the quietest dishwasher lines in its class, due to the sound-reduction technology that includes a new drain pump which reduces noise when water is draining from the machine. The detergent and rinse aid dispenser is redesigned and repositioned to optimize their release. This new location has the added effect of reducing water spray from hitting the dishwasher inner door, making less noise, while using less water for the cleaning agents. Unlike conventional dishwashers where water falls randomly onto an exposed heating element, resulting in slower and less energy-efficient heating, this Bosch dishwasher has flow-through-water-heater with 100% of the water channeled through tight coils in a confined heating chamber, which heats the water quickly and efficiently up to 161º F. In addition, all Ascenta dishwashers utilize condensation drying to save 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. Five cycles of this dishwasher - Power Scrub Plus, Auto Super Wash, Auto Plus, Auto Wash and Extreme Wash are certified with National Sanitation Foundation, ensuring your dishes are 99.99% bacteria free at the end of each cycle. Safety features include an overflow protection system, hidden heating element and child lock. Convenience features are delay start, manually adjustable top rack, 3 EasyLoad standard racks and 3 standard silverware baskets. The price for this stainless steel dishwasher is $700. Also available in white and black for $550. Other Ascenta models are SHX3AM0, SHE5AM0 and SHE4AM0. Bosch.

Quietest dishwasher - Miele quiet dishwasher for US market
[KBIS 2008 Review]
Some call this very quiet dishwasher the future of dishwashing, but by all accounts, the new G 2002 La Perla line represents a giant leap forward in dishwashing innovation, engineered to be Miele quietest dishwasher yet. These dishwashers also speed up wash programs by 10-15%, thanks to Turbo feature, while Sensor Dry, the most advanced drying system on the market, analyzes room temperature to calculate the optimal water heat, rinse aid distribution and drying time, and saving energy. The Drying Plus feature of this quietest dishwasher automatically opens the door to aid in drying. The Auto Close function softly shuts the door to start the process all over again. Miele proprietary Clean Touch Steel beautifully resists scratches, fingerprints and smudges. In the heart of this quiet dishwasher is new professional circulation pump which makes it possible for the La Perla and other G 2002 models to run incredibly soft, reducing the programs running time, and to amazingly adjust the water pressure so that programs can adapt their gentleness to the dishware being washed. The pump is likely the quietest dishwasher pump ever incorporated, and it even aids in lowering water consumption, as the water is pumped alternatively between the upper and lower spray arms. Miele unique drying process is the most innovative of any dishwasher made today. The Clean Air drying system circulates room air around the exterior cavity in the machine. This pulls moisture from the dishware to the walls of the dishwasher where it drains away. To assist this process, the new Sensor Dry feature measures room temperature so that it can adjust the heat of the water, rinse aid distribution and drying time to maximize performance. Drying Plus opens the door automatically at the end of the cycle to let out moisture and provide superb results, especially for plastics. Miele also sets the standard for this quietest dishwasher capacity with its patented third level cutlery tray that frees the lower basket to load plates, large platters, pots and more. The upper and lower baskets are very adjustable providing space flexibility like no other dishwasher today. PlateGuard Plus with its unique StemGuard feature protects tall wine glasses and plates. Three strategically positioned spray arms save tremendous time and water since they provide spotless results without pre-washing. The stainless interior is made from a higher grade steel, and of course, this quite dishwasher meets all Energy Star requirements for low water usage and is crafted so that more than 90% of the dishwasher itself is recyclable. The dishwashers are available pre-finished in white, black and stainless steel, and many of the new models can be installed behind a custom cabinet door for partial or complete integration with surrounding cabinetry. The new Miele G 2002 line will be the highest performing and quietest dishwasher, and becomes available in US sometime in the fall of 2008.
