Washing machines from Bosch

The supply market for washing machines is quite wide. Many well-known manufacturers create interesting products that can meet the needs of different segments of the population. One of the most famous companies producing such equipment is Bosch.

Each automatic washing machine from Bosch is divided into a specific series, so that any buyer can independently choose the equipment based on the technologies and functions that the product has. This system allows the manufacturer to create new models based on old ones with the introduction of something new. This applies not only to technical characteristics, but also to design, ways of working, as well as specific functions, which are constantly being supplemented and improved as the serial line is created.

Bosch's pricing policy is one of the most important advantages due to which the company has a large number of consumers. Not only household appliances, but also construction equipment from this German manufacturer is one of the best on the market in terms of value for money. This is facilitated by a wide range of products, which includes a variety of product configurations.

Moreover, each type is represented by a large number of cars, due to which it will not be difficult to choose them in accordance with your budget and preferences. Bosch has a wide variety of equipment and depending on its class. The very initial second series represents standard models that are used only in everyday life. They are not equipped with a large number of functions and only perform their main task. The 8th and 6th series can be called semi- and professional, respectively. The technological basis of these washing machines allows you to do the job most quickly, efficiently and reliably.

The Bosch product range has a wide range of tools that make washing more varied. The manufacturer pays considerable attention to the design, therefore all models are equipped with a metal drum of a special structure. This approach ensures a high quality wash, eliminating even the most difficult stains. The body is made of special alloy steel that can withstand various physical damage.

The motors are expressed in two versions, depending on the model class. The first type is represented by products with an inverter direct drive, which has become the standard for washing machines in principle. High reliability, good quality of work and stability are the main advantages of this type of engines. The second option is completely new and operates with EcoSilence Drive technology, making these motors a new generation product. The main advantages can be called all the previously listed advantages of the past analogue, but to this is also added a reduced noise level and durability.

The brushless structure allows you to reduce the volume of the machine during both washing and spinning. Considering that models with this engine have high power, this equipment can be called optimal. EcoSilence Drive is used on 6, 8 and HomeProfessional series products.

As for the marking, it has a decoding. The first letter gives information about the type of household appliance, in this case a washing machine. The second allows you to find out the design and type of loading. The third reflects the number of the series, and each of them has two designations. Then there are two numbers, thanks to which the consumer can find out the spin speed. Multiply this number by 50, which will give you the exact number of revolutions per minute.

The next two digits indicate the type of control. After them comes the number 1 or 2, that is, the first or second type of design. The remaining letters represent the country for which this model is intended. For Russia, this is OE.

Bosch WIW28540OE - front-loading model, which is the most technologically advanced in this type from the manufacturer. There is the already mentioned motor with EcoSilence Drive, which provides all the work, making it as efficient as possible. The sensitive program built into this machine is designed for allergy sufferers and those with the most sensitive skin. The ActiveWater system with an integrated water sensor allows you to save water using only the volume you need. This also applies to electricity, because it is consumed depending on which operating mode you have chosen.

Also, this indicator is influenced by the weight of the load. The AquaStop sealing structure protects the washer from any leaks for the entire service life. The teardrop-shaped VarioDrum absorbs water more evenly to ensure the wash is as clean as possible. The body is made using a special AntiVibration technology, which significantly reduces the level of vibration. Combined with a brushless motor, this model is equipped with everything you need to be virtually silent.

VarioPerfect allows the user to select a wash cycle based not only on the cycle time, but also on the energy consumption. The sensitivity program destroys 99% of bacteria, which is very important for children and allergy sufferers. It is also possible to add laundry if you accidentally put the wrong items in the drum. The dimensions of the machine are 818x596x544 mm, the maximum spin speed is 1400 rpm, there are 5 programs in total.

Load capacity 8 kg, many additional functions that allow you to adjust the wash depending on the material of the laundry and the degree of soiling. Noise level about 40 dB, electricity consumption 1.04 kWh, water consumption 55 liters per full cycle. Washing class A, spinning B, there is an electromagnetic lock, at the end of the program, a sound signal sounds.

Bosch WLW24M40OE - one of the best cars in its category, as it combines small dimensions and excellent equipment. The large number of functions gives you many options for washing your laundry. It is worth noting the variation, which is possible due to manufacturability. The consumer can adjust the operating mode in accordance with his requirements through a convenient touch control panel. The SoftCare Drum washes even the most delicate fabrics with high quality.

A new feature is AntiStain, the idea of ​​which is to remove the most difficult substances as quickly as possible. These include grass, fat, red wine, and blood. Using this technology, the machine will adjust the rotation of the drum so that the detergent has an effect on the clothes for as long as possible. EcoSilence Drive is backed by a 10-year warranty, during which time the device will work most reliably. There is also AquaStop, which prevents any leaks in the machine.

This narrow model is intended for small spaces where a full-size unit cannot be built in. In this regard, Bosch introduced the PerfectFit design feature, thanks to which the installation of equipment to the wall or furniture is noticeably simplified. The minimum clearance is only 1 mm, so the user now has more room to accommodate a narrow washing machine.The action of ActiveWater is to save water and electricity by using only those resources that are needed. The special timer start TimeDelay allows you to activate the wash at night when the energy tariffs are reduced.

It is worth noting the VoltCheck technology, which has a very important role in the operation of equipment. This function protects the electronics from various power surges or if the electricity is turned off completely. The recovery system will turn on the machine and continue the program at the same point at which it was interrupted. For especially hurried users, the SpeedPerfect system has been developed. Its purpose is to speed up the entire workflow and reduce washing time by up to 65%. The versatility of the function allows it to be used with a wide variety of operating modes and types of laundry. Here you decide how the whole process will go.

Naturally, such a complete functional set cannot do without adding laundry. The maximum load is 8 kg, the spin speed reaches 1200 rpm. The drum volume is 55 liters, there is an interval spin, with the help of which the number of folds on the clothes is reduced, which in the future will make ironing easier. Washing class A, spinning B, energy efficiency A, the machine consumes 1.04 kW per hour. A full cycle will require 50 liters of water, the software set has 14 operating modes. The noise level during washing is 51 dB, during the spin, the indicator increases to 73 dB.

The control panel allows you to use all the functions. The simple display is easy to learn. The machine is equipped with a special sensor that will let you know how efficiently water and electricity are being used. Dimensions 848x598x496 mm, suitable for installation under a worktop, the lower surface of which has a height of at least 85 cm.

Bosch WAT24442OE - one of the most popular models, as it is a combination of an average price and a good technological set. This 6 Series clipper is powered by an EcoSilence Drive engine, which is rare in the manufacturer's range. The design is complemented by the VarioDrum, a drop-shaped drum that ensures smooth distribution of water and detergents on clothes. AquaStop and ActiveWater prevent leaks and contribute to the rational use of resources. The side walls are made according to a special design, the main purpose of which is to increase the rigidity of the body. Thus, the vibration level of the machine will be reduced and the working process will be more stable.

Sensitive system with steam function disinfects clothes from germs by 99%. It also has a positive effect on the condition of the fabric after washing, as it makes it fresher. TimeDelay and additional loading of laundry give the user the opportunity to customize the washing process in the most convenient way for himself. These and many other functions are present in the 6-series model, while in other types of products this technological set can be found in the 8-series, which is more expensive. Naturally, the size can be called a nuance, which is not an advantage of this washing machine.

The maximum load is 9 kg, washing class A, spinning B, energy efficiency A, while it is worth adding that consumption is 30% more economical than that of the category to which this model belongs. The manufacturer tried to implement the lowest operating costs and wide functionality, which is why the demand for the WAT24442OE is quite extensive. Maximum spin speed 1200 rpm, noise level during washing 48 dB, during spinning 74 dB. The operating mode has 13 programs that are used most often and cover all basic types of clothing.

On the control panel there are special keys through which you can change the washing rate and edit it after the start of the work process. There is a flow-through sensor, the drum volume is 63 liters, an indication of the energy efficiency mode and a signal at the end of the program are built-in.

Bosch washing machines are often compared with the products of another world famous South Korean brand LG. Specifically, it is impossible to say who is better or worse, since each company has its own characteristics that affect the final product. If we compare these machines in terms of value for money, then in this component we can observe approximate equality. The lineup in both cases has wide price ranges, so consumers with a wide variety of budgets can make a choice.

There is a significant difference in the type of models. If Bosch has only three of them - narrow, full-size and built-in, then LG still has super slim, standard, dual-loading, and also one mini-car. In this situation, the Korean brand looks advantageous, as it produces products with a wider range of applications. In favor of the German company, one can call the fact that although they have fewer types of cars, in each available type the model range is larger and richer. Serial marking makes it possible to distinguish not only the technological level, but also to create products with different parameters.

Depending on this, the consumer has more options to buy. In terms of overall technical performance, both Bosch and LG are renowned for their quality. Technical support and branches of both companies are represented in the Russian Federation, so in case of malfunctions, you can contact the specialists. A feature of Bosch is the number of both basic and additional functions. There are more of them than LG, but the Korean firm has one significant advantage - smart management. The Smart ThinQ system allows you to connect the machine to the phone and configure it without being physically present.

The installation of the washing machine and its connection to the surge protector are generally the same for any analogs, so the methods are universal. First you need to organize a competent drainage of water. This is done in two ways - fast and inconvenient and more time consuming and proven. The first one is simple, since for its implementation on the back wall of the washing machine it is necessary to fix the retainer supplied with the equipment. The diameter of this mechanism completely matches the drain hose, which ensures a tight grip. Then just throw it into the sink, where the water will go.

But be careful, because if the hose is misaligned, then all the liquid will flow to the floor and may leak under the machine. In this case, there may be technical problems with the device. The second way is to connect the drain to a siphon that is installed under the sink. Of course, you will have to tinker a little for the wiring, but this is only for one time. Much better than securing the hose at the sink every time after every wash. If you do not have an old siphon, then it must have a special hole in which the installation should be carried out.

Just screw in the tube, and now the water from the washing machine will go directly to the sewer. Please note that the position of the hose should be gradually descending, that is, you cannot leave everything on the floor, otherwise the liquid simply cannot flow into the drain.

It's important to do a few things before launching. First, sort the laundry by color and type of fabric so that the machine can wash the garments as efficiently as possible. Then everything needs to be weighed, since washing machines have such an indicator as loading capacity. This value should never be exceeded. After loading the laundry into the drum, close the door and pour / pour the detergent into the dedicated compartments. Additionally, you can add other components as the situation requires.

The next step is to properly prepare the program. In addition to the basic operating modes, Bosch machines also have additional ones, which are separate functions. For example, SpeedPerfect, which can reduce wash times by up to 65% without losing cleaning efficiency. Set the required temperature and number of revolutions, after which you can press the "Start" button. Before each start-up, check whether the device is connected to the power supply system and how reliable this connection is. You can set the timer for night time by setting it on the control panel using touch input.

Proper operation is as important as installation and location. How long the machine will serve you depends on direct use. Although all models are warranted for 10 years, the lifespan can be much longer. In order for the equipment to be in good working order for the longest time, it is necessary to observe the most basic conditions. The first of these is the banal integrity of the power cord. It must not be physically damaged, otherwise drops and failures may occur. This can damage the electronics and damage the entire product.

Inside the structure, the motor performs its function. Under no circumstances should it be allowed to come into contact with water or other liquids. Although the existing security system can prevent this, it is better to avoid such situations at all. Also, keep an eye on the integrity of the control panel, since only through it can you compose programs. Stability is an important part of the functioning of the machine.

If failures have occurred, the self-diagnostic system will help determine the problem. The error code issued will allow the user to understand what the problem is. He will also be able to transfer the necessary information to the service center. The list and decoding of codes is contained in the operating instructions, which also contains a large amount of other useful information. A detailed description of the functions, how they work, advice on installation, assembly and disassembly of some parts - everything is in the documentation. Before the first use, it is recommended to study the instructions in order to have an idea of ​​the operation of the technique.
