Bosch ActiveWater Eco Squared Dishwasher

Bosch company claims this is the world's most efficient dishwasher. It's big eco-advantage: it uses clean water from the last rinse cycle for the first cycle of the next load, so uses just seven liters – 1.8 gallons – to clean 13 standard place settings. Annually, it uses just 205 kWh of juice and 2,053 liters (542 gallons) a year. Bosch's Zeolite drying technology, which absorbs moisture leaving only hot dry air for drying, has won several Germany environmental awards.
