Bosch is a trusted name when it comes to dishwasher design as well as most kitchen appliances.

Bosch integrated dishwasher units are manufactured by Bosch,Bosch Dishwasher Reviews Overwhelmingly Positive Articles a German-based firm that is popular for its high-caliber engineering.  The firm was founded in the late 19th century and began making kitchen appliances during the 1930s.  The company produced its first dishwasher in 1964.  Bosch has been serving  American markets for several decades and maintains manufacturing and testing sites throughout the United States.
Features
Integrated models typically feature the following:
-  Built in to existing kitchen cabinetry
-  Displays and controls conceal when door is shut
-  Custom door panel matches general kitchen decor exactly
Built-In
This type of dishwasher model is built right into the kitchen cabinetry.  It might be located beside the sink, cupboards, or kitchen drawers and cupboards.  It also fits snugly below a counter top that extends over other cabinetry, drawers, or appliances.
Concealed Controls
The essential idea behind an integrated look is making the dishwasher vanish into the kitchen's overall decor.  Although front-mounted LED controls and displays are convenient, many view them as detracting from a "modernized" appearance.
The controls are usually located only along the top edge of the door to allow their complete concealment whenever the door is shut.
Custom door panel
A custom-made front panel that exactly matches the rest of the kitchen and is attached to the front of the dishwasher provides the ultimate in design sleekness.  When a custom panel is affixed, the dishwasher truly disappears into the woodwork while its door is closed, thus making for a very appealing look.
Most integrated dishwasher manufacturers offer models that will hold custom panels that weigh between 9 and 18 pounds.
Semi-integrated dishwashers
Semi-integrated models differ from fully-integrated models as though they are built into the kitchen cabinetry, they retain the "looks" of a traditional dishwasher.  They have displays and controls that are conveniently displayed at the front of the machine.
Cost is another major advantage. Semi-integrated units cost considerably less than their fully-integrated analogues.
Many Bosch dishwasher models like the "Integra," come with some of the semi-integrated dishwasher features and some of the fully-integrated dishwasher features.  For instance, the Integra's controls are placed on the front door panel's upper edge, as in a fully-integrated model, but do not have a custom panel.  (It should be noted, however, that most Bosch Integra models are available with an optional custom panel feature).
If you want to build a new kitchen or make over your existing one, invest some time to read the many Bosch dishwasher reviews featured online to decide which type of dishwasher will make the best match for your existing kitchen decor.
