“Smart” household appliances are rapidly entering our lives, without them we cannot imagine our existence. One of the most sought after and beloved brands among Russians is the Bosch brand. The washing machines of this brand are German quality, tested for over a dozen years.

At the same time, the price of equipment remains acceptable for many consumers, unlike the same German Miele machines. Let's look at the advantages of Bosch washing machines, whether they have flaws, what is the model range, and which is better to choose.

Advantages and disadvantages

Such a great popularity of washing machines of the German brand Bosch is due to their several advantages. We will start with them:

1. Bosch machines have a long service life, declared by the manufacturer himself, and if you also take care of the machine as a rule, this period can be even longer;
2. the details from which the equipment of this brand is assembled are reliable;
3. Bosch manufacturers make their cars economical, both in terms of water consumption and electricity;
4. this brand's washing machines have various functions;
5. most Bosch washing machines, unlike competitors, are equipped with a system of complete protection against leaks, as well as control from the formation of foam and imbalance of the drum;
6. a large lineup, machines differ not only in functionality, but also in the way of loading laundry (vertical and frontal), dimensions (standard and narrow), installation method (freestanding and built-in).

Bosch washing machines are also not without drawbacks. The disadvantages include the following:

• firstly, the price of these washing machines is somewhat overstated compared to competitors with the same set of functions, but the quality is worth it;
• Secondly, these machines are made not only in Germany, but in many other countries, which negatively affects the quality of the assembly, the masters of service centers note that the cars brought from Germany are better than the cars assembled in Russia;
• thirdly, according to consumer reviews, Boshes are very noisy, but this does not affect the quality of the wash;
• fourthly, in models with vertical loading of linen the parking function does not work correctly.

Issued Series

All models of washing machines belong to a certain series. Each of the series differs from the other in terms of load, introduced technologies and modern washing capabilities. At the beginning of 2016, Bosch washing machines were produced in the following series:

• 2 Classixx;
• 4 Maxx;
• 6 Avantixx;
• 8 Logixx;
• Home Prifessional.

Note! Bosch washing machines from the Maxx 5 and Maxx7 series are also on sale.

Budget washers

The model range of budget washing machines is machines costing from 15 to 25 thousand rubles. We have selected the washing machines with the best reviews, and present them to you:

• BOSCH WLG 24160 OE is a washing machine from the Maxx 5 series with electronic control. The machine is narrow, and therefore well enters the bathroom. The SpeedPerfect function reduces washing time by up to 60%. The maximum load is 5 kg, and the spin speed is 1200 rpm. A large number of modes - 14. A complete security system with a self-diagnosis system for faults is an advantage of this machine. For a small family, we recommend choosing this model, because its average cost is 361.5 dollars.
• Bosch WLK 24271 - freestanding machine with a large drum for loading about 7 kg of dry laundry. The clear electronic control makes it possible to choose one of 15 washing programs, including washing children's clothes, jeans and soaking. The peculiarity of this machine is the availability of night mode, a program for washing shirts and thin linen. The minus is that when spinning at 1200 rpm, the machine makes a noise of 81 dB, which is very impressive, it will be heard at night. But it costs about 374 dollars.
• Bosch WLG 20240 narrow washing machine with removable top cover for installation under the countertop.The drum loading volume is 5 kg of dry laundry, and the spin speed is 1000 revolutions. In terms of functionality, this model of washing machine does not differ from the previous one, but at the same time it is slightly cheaper. The average price is 338 dollars.

Note! All these models are assembled at a factory in Russia, the warranty period for them is 1 year.

Middle class

Middle class washing machines have a cost of 26 to 60 thousand rubles. Here are the best models of this class.

• Bosch WLT 24460 - washing machine with intelligent controls and touch keys. The machine is designed for 7 kg of dry laundry when washing cotton products. The drum of the machine rotates at a speed of 1200 revolutions, which gives the output a spin class B. The peculiarity of the machine is its energy efficiency, the class is A +++. There is a drawback - only partial protection against water leakage, and this at a cost of $ 477.
• BOSCH WOT 24455 OE - vertical washing machine with a load of up to 6.5 kg. Compared to frontal washers, this machine has only 8 washing modes. Plus cars in good spin at 1200 rpm and the presence of an electronic display, which displays all the necessary information. This washer Slovak assembly on average costs $ 770.
• BOSCH WAW24440OE is a German-made machine with the ability to load up to 9 kg of dry laundry. With this load, you can wash not just two sets of bed linen, but also a duvet or plaid. The machine is full-sized with a large number of programs (16). There is an AntyAlergia function and a Bio-phase mode. The functionality is not bad, but for the price of $ 923 I wanted to see the drying mode, but it is not.

Elite

The range of premium class washing machines is machines worth over 60 thousand rubles. Consider several well-known models, their functionality.

BOSCH WAY28742OE is a full-size washing machine with a load of 9 kg of dry laundry. The machine has a sensor that detects water contamination, which means that the washing machine can select the optimal washing mode. The machine has separate washing modes for shirts, curtains, blankets and towels, as well as anti-allergy mode. A beautiful digital display with backlight attracts attention. This unit without drying the German assembly costs an average of $ 1,492, which in our opinion is unjustified.

Bosch WIS 28440 - built-in full-size washing machine for 7 kg load. A variety of programs and spin at high speeds (1400) provide high quality washing. Full protection against leaks and protection against foam and imbalances are the advantages of this machine. The only minus is probably the price, but you will have to overpay for a machine from Germany, it costs about 1145 dollars.

Note! Built-in models of washing machines are much more expensive than similar freestanding models.

BOSCH WVG30461OE is a front-loading machine with up to 8 kg of laundry, which has the function of drying up to 4 kg of laundry. The rotation of the drum at 1500 rpm provides the best spin. The machine has a large water consumption of 118 liters of water, which is quite noticeable. Yes, and electricity consumption is also increased, but this is understandable, because there is drying. Modes of washing - 16. And another nuance, this model is going to China, but because its cost is 1230 dollars.

So, Bosch washing machines from different price categories do not have a special design, in most cases they are classic white cars with a red logo on a powder cuvette. No doubt German-made cars in reliability beyond competition, but at a price inferior to cars of other manufacturers. But if you choose quality, then you can safely choose a washing machine from Germany.
