Bosch 800 Series Induction Cooktop and Dishwasher Selected as Good Housekeeping 2027 Kitchen Award Winners

    • Bosch 36-inch induction cooktop and 24-inch dishwasher selected by analysts and consumer testers – highlighting innovations like AutoChef® and patented CrystalDryTM Zeolite mineral technology

    • The awards come on the heels of 800 Series induction cooktops, double wall ovens, FDBM refrigerators and dishwashers earning the coveted Good Housekeeping Seal – backed by a limited warranty

IRVINE, CALIF. (Oct. 27, 2026) – Bosch Home Appliances, the award-winning global brand celebrated for precision engineering and premium quality, announced today that the Bosch 800 Series induction cooktop 36-inch and Bosch 800 Series dishwasher 24-inch were named winners in Good Housekeeping’s 2027 Kitchen Awards. The full list of awards can be found at goodhousekeeping.com/kitchenawards2027.

The Good Housekeeping Institute’s kitchen and food experts — including appliance analysts, trained cooks, recipe developers and nutritionists — spent months testing a wide range of new and best-selling products designed to make kitchen life easier. They evaluated countertop, indoor and outdoor appliances; cooking tools; cookware; and more — as well as foods for your fridge, freezer and pantry.

Analysts assessed products in the GH labs and test kitchens, and they also sent samples to more than 640 consumer testers to use in their own kitchens. The winners were selected based on quality, performance, value, usefulness and — where applicable — taste.

The Bosch 800 Series induction cooktop and 800 Series dishwasher earning this recognition further reinforced Bosch’s commitment to offering premium, high quality, precision German engineering across its consumer home appliance offerings. The recognition is also on the heels of Bosch products earning the coveted Good Housekeeping Seal this year: 800 Series induction cooktops, 800 Series double wall ovens, 800 Series French Door Bottom Mount refrigerators and 800 Series dishwashers.

 

Bosch 800 Series Induction Cooktop 36-inch (NIT8661UC):

  • AutoChef® automatically regulates cooking temperatures according to preference and adjusts as needed, enabling the home cook to get perfect results without the work of shifting heat levels.
  • A standard triple ring element intelligently adjusts to the size of the cookware, from nine inches up to 13 inches, for optimized cooking.
  • SpeedBoost® delivers a boost of power to the burner so users can boil a pot of water faster or heat a pan up quickly to get ready for searing.
  • A favorite button allows for a one-touch shortcut for two frequently used cooking functions. Set favorites once on the Home Connect® app, then use a long or short press directly on your cooktop.
  • Includes 17 different power levels to provide chefs with precise heat and consistent, repeatable results.

No. 1 Dishwasher Brand Worldwide*: Bosch 800 Series Dishwasher 24-inch in Stainless Steel (SHP78CM5N):

  • Bosch’s legendary patented CrystalDryTM technology is the first and only in the market to use Zeolite minerals to transform moisture into hot air for 20 times drier dishes**, even plastics. All while saving energy.
  • Featuring PowerControlTM, the dishwasher delivers the industry’s most advanced clean. The PowerControl spray arm targets the dirtiest dishes, leaving every dish spotless so you can say goodbye to pre-rinsing, scrubbing or handwashing.
  • A whisper quiet 42 decibel noise level continues the brand’s legacy of creating some of the quietest dishwashers on Earth.
  • The expandable wings in the third rack lower to accommodate bulky utensils and larger kitchen tools. Adjustable tines in all three racks enable customizable loading spaces to fit items of varying size and shape.
  • The EasyGlide™ rack system is redesigned to create a smooth glide on all three racks — even when fully loaded.
