You'll need to consider if it is just a washing machine you are after, or if you want a matching dryer too? Our ranges are designed for this. We have matching dryers to suit most washers so your laundry aesthetics aren’t compromised.

Alternatively, you can opt for a washer dryer. It combines the functions of two appliances into one. Because it's able to both wash and dry your garments, it's a great choice for households with smaller spaces.

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:

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 rpm 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.

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

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 energy efficient option with Home Connect

Especially during the spin cycle, but also during a normal wash program, the noise some washing machines make can be disturbing. Not with Bosch. 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 best 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.

Specialised washing programs 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. The following programs on Bosch washing machines might come in handy:

Take a look at some of the top Bosch features to make life easier, while achieving the best possible clean:

• i-DOS dosing assistant – Automatically dispenses the exact amount of detergent and water for each load.
• 4D Wash System – Highly efficient water and detergent fabric usage to thoroughly clean your clothes – even at full load.
• Home Connect – A smart washing machine opens up new possibilities and features, such as the Easy Start Guide. It recommends the best-fit program for each load via the Home Connect app.

Did you know...? Other innovative features such as reload, lets you add or remove items mid-cycle. Or AquaStop, which protects the washing machine in case of water damage.
