The Bosch WAB24161GB comes with a host of really useful features and functions and you can add affordability into the mix, too, with a huge saving on the recommended selling price. With its A+++ energy efficiency rating and its sleek modern design that compliments any home, it’s no wonder that many customers cite the Bosch machine as one of the best value for money washing machines.
The machine runs at a spin speed of 1200rpm, meaning that the drum in the machine will rotate 1200 times every minute! You can also set the spin speed to whatever speed you like; the advantage of this feature is that it can be adjusted to each laundry load. This, paired with the time delay option, means you can fit your washing around your own life, rather than hanging around for a load to finish. For example, if you put a load in the washer before you head out at 12 o’clock and get home at 6pm, you can set it so that the washing machine finishes for when you come home instead of your clothes sitting and creasing for hours in the machine.
This appliance includes 15 different programmes which include different temperature settings and selected specialist programmes. These include delicate and allergy+ settings and many more. Some of the more common settings include a mixed wash which is perfect for your coloured clothes as the different colours will not bleed into one another.
One of the more specialist programmes is the delicate setting, which brings down the spin speed meaning that delicate fabrics such as silk and lace do not get torn or damaged, leaving them looking and feeling as new as when you first got them.
In addition to this, the allergy+ setting proves very useful for those who suffer from certain allergies or conditions, such as eczema, and those with sensitive skin as the clothes are not overloaded with detergent and come out feeling soft and fresh.
The clear LCD display gives you some useful information, such as when the machine is operating and how long the wash cycle has until it is finished. It also has easy-to-use push buttons if you wish to adjust the spin speed or activate the time delay. To choose your programme, it also has a classic ergonomic turn dial, meaning that using the machine is a breeze.
The Bosch WAB24161GB also has SpeedPerfect and pre-wash options that you can add to your normal washing programmes. SpeedPerfect does exactly what it implies; it has the same setting and preferences for much quicker but still getting the same quality wash. The pre-wash is for those tougher jobs that require a little extra grime busting, for example if you had some clothes with dried dirt on them, the pre-wash would target this and make sure it had been broken down before the normal wash commences so that the nasty grime is more likely to be tackled in the first wash, which is once again saving you time and money.
The liquid dispenser draw is spacious and the drum is wide enough to get your washing in the machine with ease and no struggle to push everything in.
Bosch are a very well-known household name who people have been turning to for years for all their electrical needs, and over time it is clear that despite the growth in the company that the quality of the products have not been compromised and are made from quality materials as they were years ago when Bosch was first founded.
