Best energy class: A.
By using energy-saving home appliances, you save valuable resources. That’s why you should consider low energy and water consumption values when you purchase a home appliance. The energy label, specifies the efficiency class, noise level, capacity, energy and water consumption of the relevant appliance. The new efficiency class is now rated from A to G for washing machines. Thanks to our high efficiency energy saving system, the Bosch washing machine range includes models that achieve the best energy class A without compromising on results.

For highly efficient use of water even with smaller loads.
Bosch's ActiveWater Plus technology delivers perfect results while only using the precise amount of water needed for every wash. This ensures highly efficient use of water even when washing smaller loads. Thanks to highly efficient water management technology, the type and size of load is automatically detected and then the water consumption is precisely adjusted. Save up to 50% of water when washing smaller loads. ActiveWater Plus automatically adjusts water consumption to suit your load. Comparing water consumption of Eco 40-60 with quarter vs. full load per cycle.

The perfect clean, up to 65% faster.

Hygienic washing, even at 40°C.
Sometimes clean just isn't clean enough. That’s why they developed the Hygiene Plus programme. It keeps the temperature during the wash cycle constant and an additional rinse cycle is added to ensure hygienically clean laundry, effectively killing germs and house dust mites. The result: hygienic washing results that kill 99,99% of common germs even at 40°C . Bosch washing machines with the ‘HygienePlus’ wash programme at 40° and 60° fulfill scientifically recommended conditions for 99,99% of germ reduction for Enterococcus Hirae and Pseudomonas Aeruginosa, according to Honisch et al. 2014, "Impact of wash cycle time, temperature and detergent formulation on the hygiene effectiveness of domestic laundering.” Conducted by University Rhine-Waal.
