Bosch got two moments on The Block 2026: a quiet German dishwasher in the e&s package and a robot vacuum that popped out of the skirting board. Here is where each appeared.
Bosch at a glance
- What it is: a German appliance brand sold widely in Australia.
- How it got on the show: the dishwasher was part of the e&s package, and a Bosch fridge was concealed behind cabinetry in House 3, according to Domain.
- What we spotted: integrated dishwashers and a self-cleaning robot vacuum and mop.
- Australian site: bosch-home.com.au.
Seasons seen: The Block 2026.
The Block Head’s take
The dishwasher was sold on its noise, or lack of it: 42 decibels, which is roughly the sound of a library with a grudge. The robot vacuum was sold on its name. Contestants greeted it as Hans.
It emerged from beneath the skirting board, cleaned the floor and returned to its garage, which makes it the most reliable member of the cast.
