Bosch Appliances Earn Highest Ranking in J.D. Power and Associates Major Home Appliance Customer Satisfaction Study.


Renowned Market Research Firm Ranks Bosch First in the Dishwasher and Clothes Dryer Segments

HUNTINGTON BEACH Huntington Beach, city (1990 pop. 181,519), Orange co., S Calif., on the Pacific coast, across from Santa Catalina Island, in an oil-producing area; inc. 1909. It manufactures aerospace vehicles, aircraft parts, optical instruments, and heat transfer equipment. , Calif. -- A leader in high quality and energy-efficient appliances, Bosch is proud to announce that it has been ranked highest in customer satisfaction in the dishwasher and clothes dryer segments by J.D. Power and Associates in their 2006 Major Home Appliance Study. Bosch earned the highest ranking among dishwasher and clothes dryer manufacturers due to its overall customer satisfaction in functionality and performance, especially in the area of energy efficiency.

While this is the second annual J.D. Power and Associates home appliance study, this is the first time they have examined customer satisfaction with laundry appliances.

"Nothing matters more to us than the long term satisfaction of our customers with our products and we look forward to continuing to offer the best in performance, convenience and energy efficiency."

While operational performance was a key factor in Bosch ranking the highest, its dishwasher owners also noted satisfaction with the quietness of the product during use, another of its major hallmarks in the industry, and they reported fewer problems than other competitive brands. In addition, Bosch dryer owners noted its ability to leave clothes dry and wrinkle-free, excellent energy efficiency and low noise level during operation. The dryers also received high marks for aesthetic design, color and finishes, and the length and scope of the warranty.

Bosch Dishwashers

Leading the way in energy efficiency, every Bosch dishwasher has earned the ENERGY STAR[R] label and already exceeds the stringent 2007 federal energy standards. The entire collection features SENSOTRONIC[R] technology, which checks soil levels and adjusts water and temperature levels accordingly - saving water and energy. This system ensures that Bosch dishwashers use as little as 3.1 gallons of water per cycle. In addition, the energy-saving condensation drying system uses the final rinse's latent heat latent heat, heat change associated with a change of state or phase (see states of matter). Latent heat, also called heat of transformation, is the heat given up or absorbed by a unit mass of a substance as it changes from a solid to a liquid, from a liquid to a gas,  that is stored in the stainless steel stainless steel: see steel.

Bosch Nexxt[R] and Axxis[TM] Laundry

Bosch offers a winning combination of efficiency, quietness, capacity and advanced cycles with its Nexxt Laundry Care System. This collection uses less water and energy even as it provides the best cleaning experience for clothes. Like the renowned Bosch dishwashers, Nexxt laundry is engineered to be exceptionally quiet in operation.

All Nexxt washers are ENERGY STAR[R] rated and already exceed the 2007 federal regulatory standards, while featuring the convenience of a front loading Front loading is USA's Defense Department jargon for a method used by the Military-industrial complex to increase defense funding.

As a result of the advanced sensor package, Nexxt dryers take less time and energy than conventional dryers. To gently dry clothes, they employ the DUOTRONIC[TM] system, which adjusts the temperature based on moisture level to prevent damage from over-drying.

Also, ENERGY STAR rated, the Bosch Axxis laundry line provides a front loading design and high-efficiency operation, while featuring the exclusive Logixx[TM] computer system to give users an easy way to get clothes incredibly clean while saving water, energy and time. The high spin speeds on the Axxis models provide maximum water extraction for reduced drying time.
