What is a Third Rack Dishwasher?

A third rack is a sliding rack located at the top of the dishwasher, that allows for more space and flexibility when loading your dishes. They provide the perfect space for flatware, utensils, measuring cups and much more. Bosch offers two different third rack designs with options for increased flexibility such as adjustable tines and deeper storage areas. The Standard third rack is the most shallow of our two third rack options, while the Flexible third racks are deeper and more customizable. The third rack also accommodates for greater loading capacity on the lower racks, freeing up space for larger dishes below. With Bosch's commitment to innovation and convenience, our 3rd rack dishwashers are designed to cater to your unique needs, making dishwashing a breeze and leaving your kitchen organized and sparkling clean.

What Is The Third Rack In A Dishwasher Used For?

Our various third racks provide the perfect space for flatware, large utensils, ramekins, measuring cups and even cereal bowls.

  • Flexible Third Rack: Accommodates deeper items, while adjustable tines let you customize the rack's loading space. Its expandable wings easily lower to let you load ramekins and measuring cups with ease.
  • Standard Third Rack: With 30% more loading area compared to a Bosch dishwasher with two racks, the standard third rack provides the perfect space for flatware and large utensils. The unique V shape leaves room on the middle rack for taller items like stemware.
