AquaStop - double protection against flooding.

AquaStop is a system that provides protection against flooding for the entire life cycle of the washing machine. Installed in our washing machines, AquaStop consists of a special double-profile water supply hose, a safety valve and a floor tank with a float switch, preventing any type of flooding caused by a leak in the hose or leaks inside the washing machine.

ActiveWater Plus: exceptional water savings.

It doesn't matter how big your laundry is. Our ActiveWater Plus technology ensures perfect results, using only the amount of water you need. The amount of clothes in the drum is automatically recognised, and the optimum amount of water for a particular wash is selected based on this. As a result, you can save up to 50% water when doing a smaller wash. *ActiveWater Plus automatically adjusts water consumption to the size of the load. Comparison of water consumption in the Eco 40-60 programme with a quarter and full load.

Quiet washing machine with durable and energy-efficient motor.

Noise in the home can be disturbing and distracting. That's why we designed the EcoSilence Drive motor for our washing machines. This brushless, energy-efficient drive with minimised friction ensures quiet operation and also boasts an extremely long service life.

Perfect washing results up to 65% faster.

When time is of the essence, washing machines equipped with the SpeedPerfect function can shorten the wash by up to 65%*, without compromising on results. This function can be used with most programmes, any load size and any type of fabric. For example, in the Mix programme with the SpeedPerfect function, you can wash exactly up to 4 kilograms of a mixed load in just 46 minutes. *The difference in time between the 40°C Synthetics programme and the 40°C Synthetics programme in combination with the SpeedPerfect option.

Have you misplaced a child's sock or t-shirt? Now you can easily add or remove items during the wash cycle*. Simply press the Start/Pause button and open the door, throw in the forgotten items and continue washing. *For safety reasons, you cannot use this option if the temperature exceeds 50°C or the water level is too high.

Killer for germs but gentle for sensitive skin. The Anti-Allergy / Hygiene Plus programme ensures optimum laundry hygiene. Maintaining a constant temperature during the washing phase, it ensures that the fabrics are hygienically clean. As a result, all germs and allergens, including dust mites, are inactivated. The laundry is also thoroughly rinsed to minimise detergent residue. The result: hygienically clean clothes. * Bosch washing machines with the Anti-Allergy/Hygiene Plus wash programme at 40° and 60° meet the scientifically recommended conditions resulting in a 99.99% reduction of Enterococcus Hirae and Pseudomonas Aeruginosa germs. according to the Hönisch team paper 2014 Influence of wash cycle time, temperature and detergent composition on the hygienic performance of the laundry at home.
