Criteria for our purchase in 1600 were spin tours (we have limited space to hang laundry), short programs, automatic load, Aquastop, the consumption data, build quality, guarantees, availability and of course the purchase price.
Ultimately we ended up after an elaborate compare with the one described here Traders Version Bosch Home Professional WAY32891 (Exclusiv).
This is almost identical to the technically sold here on Amazon Bosch Home Professional WAY32841. As a difference so far I could only conclude that the WAY32891 an LED drum interior lighting and a chrome-plated door with the has the word "Exclusive".
Exclusiv this means better service by a retailer, for example, 24-hour service, etc. Also are almost identical, the IQ800 series from Siemens.
Positives:
--------
Made in Germany:
- It strengthens the local economic strength
Service:
- Via the program selector switch (knob) and sensor keys on the display
- Pausing the washing process is possible
- Change the temperature, spin speed, etc. during the wash depending on the progress of the program still possible later
LC display:
- Large, all status information displays (eg loading level) + progress bar during washing
- Rel. Wide viewing angle
- Very bright when you fast in the bathroom which seeks, one needs no light switch)
Door:
- Stable suspension and good size
- Can be opened to 180 °
Drum lighting:
- Is made by LED, very comfortable
- It is now also equal to the hidden socks and handkerchiefs when unloading the machine
Time delay:
- Programming of the machine max. 24h in advance possible, for example, the use of off-peak electricity tariffs
Automatic detergent dosage:
- I-Dos: depending on the load, water hardness, etc., is a machine. Dosage of liquid detergent and soft Pühlers,
it may 1.5L + 0.5L fabric softener liquid detergent are introduced into the tank in the drawer
- Manual dosing and use of powder detergents also possible
- Very positive, the automatic dosing affects the detergent consumption, this has almost halved (manually metered basically too much)
Washing:
- Very well put together solid wash programs
- 15min short program for lightly soiled laundry
- Very well-functioning fully automatic programs (30 ° Auto, Auto 40 °), you need only put the laundry and press the Start button - go> los
- Using the remaining time display can be estimated relatively well how long it will take (although the indication sometimes, probably depending on the degree to which jumps 10min)
- There are two additional options: "EcoPerfect" and "SpeedPerfect", ie you can select whether the machine about 30% more energy efficient (but longer), or about 30% faster (but for energy-intensive and possibly with less maximum load size. ) shall wash.
- There is a child safety lock, which can be via 5-sekündigem pressure on the "Done" to enable / disable button
-> Washing time for a full drum cotton laundry (eg 3.5kg capacity):
Completely wash about 1 hour (45min with option "SpeedPerfect") 40 ° and 1600U / min spin: program "Quick / Mix" -
Completely wash about 2.5 hours (1 hour with option "SpeedPerfect") 60 ° and 1600U / min spin: program "cotton" -
- The remaining washing programs are all moving in the range of tolerable 1h - 1.5h washing time
-> Exemplary loading amounts:
- Cotton: 8kg (with "SpeedPerfect": 4kg)
- Quick / Mix: 3.5kg
- Short 15min: 2kg
Spin:
- Very good effect and especially quiet
- Depending on the program set up to 1600U / min
Audible noise:
- Thick insulation + Anti Vibration System + balance control
- During washing höhrt you only the faint traps around the wet clothes in the drum, is loudest heard iA the drain pump
- Spin is also pleasantly quiet, even at 1400 and 1600U / min, one notices only minor vibrations
- In comparison we hear more the old washing machine the neighbors below us in the bathroom hurl as our own washing machine on our floor in the bathroom (the bathrooms are one above the other) (!)
Power consumption:
- Pleasant by automatic load detection, smart washing programs and Start time delay low
- For example, when the program is quick / Mix (40 °, 1600U / min, approximately 1 hour washing time) measured by ALDI meter: 0,64kWh
Water consumption:
- By automatic load and turbidity sensor (depending on the turbidity is rinsed) also pleasantly low
Warranty:
- 10 years Motor
- Aqua Stop for life
- 24 Exclusive Service (only in WAY32891 Exclusiv)
Negatives:
--------
- Option menu jumps sometimes by itself during operation too quickly in the main back, so you have to possibly again in the submenu
- Touch buttons have no pressure point, you get used to it
- Clarity of the manual, the book of our Bosch dishwasher I find better designed (clearer, better formatted, less cross-references)
- When filling is switched off laundry in the machine and only after turning on the machine indicates when loading display 0g. Ie immediately after switching the machine measures the act. Drum weight and zeros the loading indicator (0-reference). How this affects in the context of Megenautomatik, we have not yet figured out. It can be assumed that the machine then starts from a false charge amount. So first always give the laundry after power to the machine.
Compared to the Miele W 6000 WPS Primavera Plus (identical with Miele W 6546 WPS Softtronic) my parents:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What's better on the Miele:
- Processing still a tad better (eg the door holder is milled from a larger piece, patented honeycomb honeycomb drum, plate thickness is higher, turn knobs and push yourself "rich")
- By the operator forth more easily (less frills and submenus)
Bend inclined control panel, you do not have to to operate -
- Is even better, because heavy (98kg)
- Slightly lower power consumption (~ 160kWh / a)
What's better at Bosch:
- Fast start-up of the operating system (the Miele sometimes takes 10s until it is operated ()!)
- Large bright display with comprehensive operating status information
- Many adjustment possibilities for the individual programs
- Automatic programs, automatic dosing system
- Fast and good washing results with the program "Quick / Mix" -> after 1h is the laundry done
- Turbidity sensor for better and more environmentally friendly washing results
- 100-200 cheaper (depending on availability) as the Miele
As for the criticisms of the Bosch, this should be recorded under "whining at a high level".
All in all, the Bosch a really high-quality and price "values" washing machine that is characterized by its frugality, and gives very good and especially fast results.
We are completely satisfied so far and can further be missing the device at any time.
PS: Anyone who registers his machine online at Bosch, Bosch gets a package with two complimentary bottles of Persil (Color, Black) sent. We found quite nice.
