1. Which type of washing machine do you need?

You'll need to decide if you want a standard 60-cm-deep front load machine or a shallower 45-cm-deep SlimLine model, the perfect washing machines for singles.

Alternatively, you can opt for a washer dryer. It combines the functions of two appliances in one housing. Because it's able to both wash and dry your garments, it's the right choice for households that appreciate maximum function in minimum space.

2. A freestanding or an integrated washing machine?

When choosing a new appliance, consider for a moment where the washing machine will be located. Is it integrated into the kitchen? Placed in the bathroom? In the laundry room or the cellar? Depending on where it will go, you'll need either a freestanding washing machine or an integrated washing machine.

What is an integrated washing machine? What is a built-in washing machine?

An integrated washing machine, also called a built-in washing machine, is built into a cabinet for a seamless look, typically in a kitchen. There are also built-under models that slide under a worktop, without being hidden by a cabinet door.

What is a freestanding washing machine?

A freestanding washing machine stands alone, often in the bathroom, laundry room or cellar. A dryer can be placed next to it or, if compatible, stacked on top.

3. What capacity? 10kg washing machine? 9kg washing machine?

How many kilograms of laundry should your new washing machine hold? The answer depends on the number of people in your home, the amount of laundry you do, and the types of items you wash.

Here are some rules of thumb to follow:

6kg washing machine or 7kg washing machine
Good for singles or small households of 1 to 2 people.
8kg washing machine or 9kg washing machine
Suits homes with 3 to 4 people.
10kg washing machine
Ideal for homes with 5+ people such as families. For 5 people, a 9kg machine also suffices.
Wash large amounts of laundry?
Or do you want to wash bulkier items such as duvets? Consider choosing a washing machine with a capacity of 8 to 10kg.

4. What spin speed? 1600, 1400, 1200, or 1000 rpm?

When talking about a washing machine's spin speed, the revolutions per minute (rpm) refer to how fast a washing machine's drum rotates during the spin cycle. Generally speaking, the higher the spin speed, the "drier" your clothes are after washing.

Pro tip: Choose a 1600 spin washing machine or a model with a spin speed of 1400 rpm and use less energy to dry your items. It also makes air drying much faster.

5. How important is an energy efficient washing machine?

Should your washing machine have a comparatively good energy rating? How much power should your washing machine consume?

First the good news: all new Bosch washing machines are energy efficient. By choosing a model with certain energy-saving features you can save more money in the long run – and be even kinder to the planet. Here are a few examples:

  • Save water and detergent with i-DOS automatic dosing system
  • Efficiently use water thanks to ActiveWater Plus with load detection
  • Choose the most affordable energy source automatically with Flex Start via Home Connect

6. Do you want a very quiet washing machine?

Especially during the spin cycle, but also during a normal wash programme, the noise some washing machines make can be disturbing.
If your washing machine is located in the kitchen, bathroom or other living space where you spend time, we strongly recommend choosing a low decibel model.
It's also advisable to choose a silent washing machine if you've found a machine noisy in the past.

What is the quietest washing machine?

Bosch's quiet washing machines with an EcoSilence Drive™ motor efficiently wash your garments while operating at an exceptionally low noise level. AntiVibration sidewalls stabilise the washing machine, reducing vibration and noise.

7. Which special washing machine programmes should you consider?

Specialised washing machine programmes optimally wash delicate pieces or special fabrics. Depending on the types of items you machine wash at home and your personal needs, you might want, for example, a washing machine with a short cycle or an allergy washing machine. The following programmes on Bosch washing machines might come in handy:
