For example, combining SpeedPerfect with the Mixed Load programme allows you to thoroughly wash up to 4kg of laundry in less time.
Based on the difference between the Easy Care 40°C programme duration and the Easy Care 40°C programme with SpeedPerfect selected.

With a washing noise level of just 41 dB(A) and a spinning noise level of 66 dB(A), this built-in washing machine achieves an airborne acoustical noise emission class A.
Active Water Plus: Intelligent Water Management
Bosch Active Water Plus technology helps optimise water consumption by automatically adjusting the amount of water used according to the load size and fabric type.
Intelligent sensors detect the laundry load and adapt water usage accordingly, helping to avoid unnecessary water consumption while maintaining excellent washing results. This is particularly useful when washing smaller loads.
Water savings of up to 50% may be achieved depending on the load size and selected programme.
Reload Function: Add Forgotten Laundry Mid-Cycle
Forgotten a sock or need to remove an item? The Bosch Reload function allows you to pause a washing programme and add or remove laundry when conditions permit.
Simply press the Reload button, open the door and make the necessary changes before continuing the wash.
For safety reasons, the Reload function cannot be used when the water temperature exceeds 50°C or the water level is too high.
VarioDrum: Gentle Yet Thorough Fabric Care

Depending on the selected programme, the drum gently guides laundry towards the centre, helping to minimise stretching, creasing and fabric damage while providing effective cleaning.
The VarioDrum design is suitable for everything from delicate garments to heavily soiled clothing, delivering thorough washing results with careful fabric handling.
