A good choice for famlies, the Bosch Exxcel WAE2446B washing machine offers you 15 clothes care programmes, including a super-quick 15-minute wash, variable temperature control (including a 50°C option) and special options for reduced ironing, sports fabrics and darks. There’s also a 24-hour timer delay to take care of the weekend washing when you’re not there.
The wash time for a full load of 7kg cottons on the 60°C programme takes 156 minutes. The large 30cm diameter door opens a full 180°, while its stepped design makes it easy to load and unload your washing. There are gentle options for woollens and silks, and a freshen-up programme designed to refresh clothes without using detergent. There’s also has an intensive option for stains and a mixed load programme which washes an assorted basket of laundry at 30ºC in 50 minutes.
The WAE2446B washing machine's Express Wash system allows you to reduce programme times, and you can monitor the progress of any programme via the LED display which also shows time remaining and lets you vary the temperature - if you want to wash at a more eco-friendly 30°C. Programme status is designated by easy to understand icons, so even the most laundry-shy members of the family can put on a wash.
Bosch Exxcel washing machines also have specially designed asymmetric paddles for greater fabric care, with agitation and drum rotation dictated by the type of fabrics being washed. Sensors monitor and adjust performance at every stage of the wash; for example, two infrared beams assess how cloudy the water is at the rinse cycle stage, and adjust rinse length and number of rinses accordingly.
