Ownership
BSH is 100% owned by Robert Bosch GmbH since January 2015, and ~94% of Robert Bosch GmbH's share capital sits with the Robert Bosch Stiftung, a charitable foundation, the same trust structure behind the Approved bosch-tools rating. Siblings: Siemens, Thermador, Gaggenau, Neff.
Why Watchlist
Yale's 2026 service data puts Miele first at 5.6% and Bosch second at 7.8%, ending the lead this entry's Approved rested on. Bosch remains top-2, well above the 8.8% category average, and the NC-built dishwasher story is intact. Foundation ownership is unchanged. This is a trigger-discipline downgrade, not an enshittification finding. Watchlist pending the next Yale cycle.
