Our ActiveWater Plus technology delivers perfect results while only using the precise amount of water needed for every wash. This ensures highly efficient use of water even when washing smaller loads. Thanks to highly efficient water management technology, the type and size of load is automatically detected and then the water consumption is precisely adjusted.

Your durable, extra-quiet washing machine.

No one wants distracting noises at home. Which is why we engineered the Eco Silence Drive™ for our washing machines. The brushless, energy-efficient motor reduces friction for quiet operation, and is built for an especially long life.

Hygienic washing, even at 40°C.

Sometimes clean just isn't clean enough. That's why we developed the Hygiene Plus programme. It keeps the temperature during the wash cycle constant and an additional rinse cycle is added to ensure hygienically clean laundry, effectively killing germs and house dust mites. The result: hygienic washing results that kill 99,99% of common germs even at 40°C 3 .* *Bosch washing machines with the 'HygienePlus' wash programme at 40° and 60° fulfil scientifically recommended conditions for 99,99% of germ reduction for Enterococcus Hirae and Pseudomonas Aeruginosa, according to Honisch et al. 2014, "Impact of wash cycle time, temperature and detergent formulation on the hygiene effectiveness of domestic laundering." Conducted by University Rhine-Waal.

Powerful but gentle washing to protect your clothes.

In the past, your favourite or most delicate clothes may have been damaged in the wash. The unique, patented VarioDrum system uses even water distribution to gently and efficiently wash all types of clothing - without stretching, creasing or damaging your most beloved items. Depending on the selected programme, the droplet-shaped design, with asymmetrical paddles gently rotates your laundry to the centre - regardless of the rotation direction. This not only ensures an intensive clean for more heavily soiled clothes, but a quicker, more thorough clean for the entire load.

The whisper-quiet washing machine.

The innovative Anti Vibration sidewall design is not only eye catching, but also provides more stability and reduces vibrations. The enhanced insulation also regulates noise levels, making Bosch washing machines extremely quiet, even during the spin cycle.

Faster washing when you need it.

Super Quick 30 is a convenient method of freshening up lightly-soiled laundry in just 30 minutes.
