When time matters, washing machines with SpeedPerfect cut the washing time by up to 65%* without compromising results. SpeedPerfect can be used in combination with most programmes, and with all load sizes and fabric types. For example, select the Mix Programme along with SpeedPerfect, and you can thoroughly wash up to 4 kilograms of mixed laundry in just 46 minutes. *Difference between the duration of Easy Care Programme 40°C and the duration of Easy Care Programme 40°C in combination with SpeedPerfect option.

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. Save up to 50% of water when washing smaller loads.* *ActiveWater Plus automatically adjusts water consumption to suit your load. Comparing water consumption of Eco 40-60 with quarter vs. full load per cycle.

Don't let your washing machine intrude on your dinner. Bosch’s EcoSilence Drive™ is so quiet that sometimes you might forget it's even on. The brushless, energy-efficient motor is quiet in operation, has an especially long life and comes with a 10-year parts warranty.

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, killing germs and house dust mites especially effectively. The result: hygienic washing results that kill 99,99% of common germs even at 40°C.* *Bosch washing machines with the ‘HygienePlus’ wash programme at 40° and 60° fulfill 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.

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 Jeans / Dark Laundry programme is optimised to avoid streaks that can sometimes appear on your garments after washing and to care for coloured items.

Forgot to add a kid’s sock, or a stray t-shirt? No problem! The Reload function lets you easily add or remove clothes during wash cycles*. Just press the Reload button and open the door, then add your forgotten items and continue the wash. *As a safety feature, you can’t use Reload if the suds are hotter than 50°C or the water level is too high.

After 20 cycles under 40℃, your washing machine will automatically remind you to clean the drum using the 'DrumClean' program. Ensuring your clothes are properly cleaned to perfection.

The innovative AntiVibration design of the side walls is not only eye catching: the system also provides more stability and reduces vibration. The enhanced insulation also regulates noise levels, making Bosch washing machines very quiet, even during the spin cycle.

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

Delay the start of the washing cycle to get your laundry ready when you need it. Simply use this feature to time the end of the cycle for when you will be ready to unload the machine.
