More Details
A Practical, Efficient Washing Machine for Everyday Use
The Bosch Series 2 front-loading washing machine offers a well-rounded set of features at a sensible level. It carries an A energy rating, the most efficient class available, and pairs that with Active Water Plus technology to keep water use in check without sacrificing cleaning performance. It’s a machine designed to work hard without costing you more than it needs to.
SpeedPerfect — Faster Washes Without the Compromise
SpeedPerfect reduces cycle times by up to 65% and works across most programmes, load sizes, and fabric types. If you’re running the mixed programme at 40°C, for example, you can wash up to 4 kg of clothes in a fraction of the usual time. It’s a feature that makes a real difference on busy mornings or when you need a specific item in a hurry.
Active Water Plus — Smart Water Management
Active Water Plus automatically detects the size and type of load, then adjusts water consumption accordingly. When washing smaller loads, it can use up to 50% less water compared to a full load on the Eco 40-60 programme. You’re not wasting water on a half-empty drum, which adds up to meaningful savings over time.
Hygiene Plus — Clean You Can Trust
The Hygiene Plus programme keeps the wash temperature constant throughout the cycle and adds an extra rinse to ensure thorough germ removal. It kills 99.99% of common germs — including house dust mites — even at 40°C. This is particularly useful for households with young children, allergy sufferers, or anyone who needs that extra level of confidence in their laundry results.
The Reload Function — Add Forgotten Items Mid-Wash
It happens to everyone — a stray sock or a forgotten t-shirt left on the bedroom floor. The Reload function lets you pause the cycle, open the door, add the item, and carry on. As a safety measure, Reload is only available when the water temperature is below 50°C and the water level is not too high.
SilentPowerDrive™ — Quiet Operation
The SilentPowerDrive™ is a brushless motor that reduces friction during operation, keeping noise levels down and extending the motor’s lifespan. The machine runs at 51 dB during washing and 72 dB during spinning, and has an airborne acoustical noise emission class of A. It’s also stackable, which is useful if you’re working with limited floor space and want to add a dryer on top.
Programmes and Controls
The Series 2 covers the key wash programmes: Delicates, Whites and Coloureds, Easy-care, and Woollens/Hand Wash. Cottons can be washed at 40°C, 60°C, or 90°C, and Easy-care runs at 30°C or 40°C. There’s also an Allergy Plus programme, a Pre-wash option, and a Super Quick 15/30 for very light loads. A digital countdown indicator and LED display keep you informed throughout the cycle, and a continuous delay start lets you schedule washes to suit your routine.
