What types of Bosch washing machines are there?
The German company Bosch produces washing equipment with different functionality and appearance. Among the entire range, it is possible to choose a free-standing washing machine, built-in or narrow.
Washing Bosch top-loading devices have different housing dimensions. There is only one strict limitation on them - they cannot be made completely built-in due to the top loading. Most of them are 40x60x90 cm in size.
Narrow models
Bosch narrow models have a compact organization. Their main advantage is the combination of small depth with wide functionality and reliability inherent in full-size machines.

What to look for when choosing?
It is worth devoting enough time to the process of choosing a Bosch washing machine; the purchased equipment met all the necessary requirements. The main factors should include
Dimensions
Dimensions are important for placing a Bosch washing machine in the space allocated for it. If a very limited space is allocated for a new washing equipment, you need to take into account that when installing the device and connecting it to the communications at the back of the case, there should be at least 5 cm left. This is necessary for the location of the drain and inlet hoses and the connection to electricity.
There should also be a small gap left and right of the body of the installed washing machine. This is necessary because when spinning at high speeds, the machine vibrates. When installed correctly, such a gap should be at least 5 mm.
Load Type
Depending on the type of loading organization, the position of the Bosch machine and the possibility of embedding are determined.
For devices with a hatch and front loading, the free space must be in the front away from the machine so that you can open the door and powder receptacle without interference.
For top-loading machines, it is important to ensure that there is free space above the machine. This is necessary to load laundry without interference.
Functional
The set of programs and additional functions should be determined at the initial stage of model selection. Most Bosch washing machines have many programs and it is possible to enter additional settings and make adjustments.
A number of additional functions and features, such as drying, can be very useful. But they increase the cost of equipment, but also often increase the size of the device.
Price
Bosch machines are generally more expensive than similar equipment from other manufacturers. But the cost of this TM equipment is also in a wide range, allowing you to select high-quality and fairly inexpensive options. Larger and more functional models will cost more.
Weight
On average, Bosch cars are in weight range from 60 to 80 kg. Heavier equipment is more stable in operation. But devices that are lighter are easier to transport. The larger the body, the heavier the equipment is, as a rule.
Drum capacity
The drum size varies between Bosch machines. Based on the expected number of items that will be loaded into the wash at one time, the loading parameter is selected (in kilograms). If you need a very large drum capacity, then attention should be paid to full-size washing machine options.
Interface design and usability
The choice of design is determined taking into account the interior. For fully built-in Bosch machines, this point is not so important, since the device will be hidden behind the door.
The interface determines the comfort when using technology. If you have certain preferences, you can ask about the country of assembly of the Bosch washing machine, since not all of them are made in Germany.
Conclusion
Bosch washing machines come in different sizes and types of loading. This parameter must be taken into account when choosing a specific model for your home. It is necessary to take into account that a distance of several centimeters from the wall on the side of the rear wall will be necessary, since the communications line is located there.
Also, when choosing an installation location, it is necessary to ensure a small gap between the washing machine and other furniture or appliances. With the right dimensions, a Bosch washing machine will look beautiful in the interior and serve reliably for a long time.
