March 18 /PRNewswire/ -- From new floorcare that combines unmatched quietness and cleaning performance to fully-automated coffee machines that bring the gourmet taste experience home, premium appliance manufacturer Bosch introduced its newest line of high-quality small appliances today at the 2005 International Home & Housewares Show in Chicago. Bosch will unveil its newest products in floorcare with the new Formula canister vacuum cleaner and in the coffee category with the new Benvenuto Gourmet Coffee Machine.

All products will be showcased at the company's booth, #L13131 (Lakeside), at the McCormick Place convention facilities in Chicago.

"We began offering Bosch small appliances in the United States several years ago, but have been building on our heritage of German engineering and producing quality products for decades, as illustrated by the 50th anniversary of our popular Kitchen Machines," said Michael Bohn, director of marketing. "Today, we offer a wide array of powerful countertop appliances and floorcare products that bring truly unique and inventive features that meet the distinct needs of the American consumer."

Bosch Formula Canister Vacuum Cleaner
Known worldwide for setting industry standards in quietness, Bosch introduces the impressively quiet Formula vacuum cleaner. With a noise level of just 65 decibels, the Bosch Formula is by far the quietest vacuum in its class. In addition, the Formula brings unsurpassed cleaning performance, creative design and more flexible handling to American homes.

With 12 Amps/1400 Watts of power and at just 12 pounds, the Formula canister vacuum is a compact cleaning powerhouse. Utilizing an advanced filter changing mechanism and MEGAfilt SuperTEX TypeG dust bag, the Formula makes it easier than ever to change filters and pick up even the most minute dust and dirt. The hygienic filtration system ensures reliable dust retention and vacuum exhaust that is as clean as the ambient air in the household. The Formula's compact design and brush attachments also make cleaning hard to reach places -- like window sills and tough corners -- a snap.

The Formula line features three models (BSG71310UC, BSG71360UC and BSG71370UC) and is available now in three vibrant colors: Sahara Yellow, Samoa Blue and Cherry Red.

Bosch Benvenuto Gourmet Coffee Machine
Bosch Benvenuto gives coffee aficionados the opportunity to welcome an entirely new coffee experience and flavor matched only by professional baristas. The superior taste is ensured by the unique AROMASWIRL System for maximum flavor extraction, a stainless steel brewing system that protects water from acquiring a metal taste, precise temperature control for optimum flavor release and a built-in water filter to ensure completely clean water for the purest taste.

The Benvenuto, with its sleek design and easy-to-use features builds on the excellent reputation Bosch has established with its award-winning Porsche Designer Series coffee maker. With its grinding capability to provide the freshest coffee, self-cleaning features and ability to maintain water temperature throughout the brewing process for optimal extraction, the Benvenuto embodies what experts agree are the key features for guaranteeing the best cup of coffee.

The fully automatic gourmet coffee maker is available in two models -- the B20 and B30 and offered at specialty retail outlets beginning in the third quarter 2005.

Bosch Kitchen Machine Series
Bosch has been perfecting its Kitchen Machines for decades and is now celebrating the 50th anniversary of this revolutionary countertop cooking tool. The ultimate kitchen assistant, the Bosch Kitchen Machine is one of the most versatile and powerful products on the market. With three different series to choose from, Bosch Kitchen Machines include contemporary designs, high performance features, high-capacity and an abundance of accessory options. With a 700-watt motor, the award-winning 7 Series Kitchen Machine is available as a free-standing unit (model MUM 7400 UC) or as a built-in (model MEK 7000 UC) for a seamless, streamlined look in brushed stainless steel. The 7-Series also includes the Concept Kitchen Machine, which offers all of the same features and benefits, but comes in a clean white color.

With the same inventive technology as Bosch's 7 Series Kitchen Machines, the 6 Series Universal Design Kitchen Machine offers three speeds and a momentary pulse function to mix, blend, chop, grind, slice and more. Two 6 Series models (MUM 6622 UC and MUM 6610 UC), offered in white, include a blender attachment that harnesses a 700-watt motor power for exceptional ice crushing, mixing and blending.

The Bosch 4 Series Compact Design Kitchen Machines offer the same versatility as the 7 Series, but in a more compact design. The 4 Series boasts up to 450 watts of power in the motor, which runs remarkably quiet. There are four high-performance, quality models that make up the 4 Series. Each model includes a four-quart bowl, an anti-splash cover, six-cup blender, beating and stirring whisks, dough hook, and a cover for the blender drive.

Bosch Steam Irons
From delicate silks to thick, heavy linens, Bosch offers a range of Steam Irons that can treat any type of clothing care. Bosch makes the chore of ironing a simple task with a wealth of features, such as a high-performance steam chamber for a large volume of steam output, burst of steam and vertical steam functions to quickly freshen up hanging clothes. Each iron has auto shut-off and extra-smooth, highly polished stainless steel sole plates. The ergonomically designed, soft touch grip handle makes ironing extremely comfortable while the ingenious swivel joint found in all Bosch irons keeps the cord up and out of the way, making it comfortable for both right- and left-handed users.

The TDA 2301 UC Steam Iron offers 1400-watts of power and includes two steam settings plus a steam jet. White-colored with green accents, this model includes an Automatic Shut-off when the iron is not in use.

The white with peach accents-colored TDA 2135 UC Steam Iron has 1200-watts, 17 steam vents and a continuous steam plus steam jet function for even steam distribution.

The TDA 1503 UC Steam Iron boasts 1500 watts and a powerful steam motor that produces the highest continuous steam output on the market with 73 steam vents. An anti-calc descaling system extends the life of the iron by removing mineral buildup. The TDA 1503's transparent water tank is the largest on the market offering longer ironing time without refilling. The triangle-shaped safety heat indicator notifies you when the iron is hot and when is has cooled off.

Bosch will be showcasing additional small appliances from its high-quality line such as the award-winning F.A. Porsche Design Series appliances, blenders, hand mixers, citrus juicers, slicers, choppers, toasters and coffee grinders.
