It's time for a change
You have an old top-loading washer that makes all kinds of racket, munches your sweatpants, and hogs energy like your kids hoard candy. For years you tolerated it, but now that front-loaders come with energy rebates, and are often stackable, quiet, and efficient, it's time to wave goodbye to the old ways and bring in the Axxis. Replace that thumping, thudding, step-up from a washing board with a machine that has 2.2 cu. ft. capacity, a 56dBA Silence rating, and a gentle care Axxis Plus structured drum. With more wash cycles than ticks on a junebug (we just made this up cuz we liked the sound of it — just pretend it means "a LOT" ) you'll be able to treat all your clothes with long-lasting care.
SENSOTRONIC Plus
The Bosch Sensotronic Plus package optimizes the wash process at every stage of the cycle. Sensotronic technology senses load size, water level, and temperature needs for superior results. With digital sensors that care for all fabrics including wool, mohair and silk, this machine virtually operates at the touch of a button. The Dynamic Load Sensor ensures precise water levels for your wash load. Based on the size of the load and how much water your garments absorb, at predefined points during the initial fill stage, a pressure switch determines if more water is needed. This "auto load adjust" guarantees water conservation. The digitally controlled Temperature Sensor is constantly monitoring the water temperature. It controls the internal heating element guaranteeing the precise water temperature throughout the entire cycle. The Suds Sensor assesses the degree of suds in the drum. In the event of excessive suds it automatically adds up to an additional 2 rinses to remove any remaining detergent from the load. During the final spin of a cycle, the washer will monitor the positioning and balance of your wash load. If your load is out of balance, the washer will stop and adjust the load up to 15 times, reducing the spin speed to finish the cycle. This process is made possible by the motor synchronization system that measures irregular spinning (fast/slow) or vibration.
Structured drum
The Axxis washer features raindrop drum pattern that resists snags for powerful cleaning that protects your clothes. Depending on the cycle, the washer adjusts the direction of the drum rotation, using the steeper edges for heavy-duty jobs or the shallow edges so delicate fabrics are cared for most gently. With no abrasive agitator the Bosch Axxis and Axxis Plus washer designs incorporate a horizontally mounted drum that utilizes high efficiency tumbling action to gently lift and plunge the clothes through the water. Wash cycles range from the normal Regular/Cotton to the Intensive Power Wash for your toughest stains to the cradling action of Hand Washables. Throughout each cycle digital temperature sensors and controls ensure precision washing.
Unique design, ongoing innovations
You may notice that Bosch washers and dryers look somewhat different from more conventional designs. But while they may look different, Bosch has been advancing and improving this design over a 50-year history, when they first introduced our front-loading models in Europe. Today, these machines are so advanced they use 76% less water and almost 72% less energy than conventional models, with more gentle fabric care, superior cleaning results and quieter operation. This powerful combination of efficiency, performance, value and engineering is what makes Bosch washer and dryers the best you'll ever own.
Detergent efficiency system
The Bosch Detergent Efficiency System in the Axxis and Axxis Plus washers contains laundry detergent within the active washing area of the system: the Eco-Ball rises and seals off the sump and stays in this position until the drain cycle. Further, it prevents heavier detergent from settling into the bottom of the sump before it is dissolved. Therefore, the recommended dose of detergent is maintained in the system for better cleaning and "unused" detergent is kept from entering into our water ways.
Non-abrasive wash action
The ARCHIE® paddles cascade water from high above and an internal water heater reacts immediately to the actual temperature of the water and fabrics inside the washer. This ensures that your clothes are treated with a non-abrasive action that gets them thoroughly clean but helps preserve their integrity. In other words, you don't have to worry as much about annoying piling, stretched out fabric, or unrinsed detergent.
Bosch is committed to the environment
Bosch is committed to preserving the environment through innovative approaches to their products, as well as the partnerships with key leaders in sustainable construction and design. Sustainability, responsibility and continuous improvement are the tenets of Bosch — and Vann's appreciates this commitment because these products save you money over the long-term, are strong and long lasting, and help contribute to the health of your family and the environment. Bosch practices low-impact manufacturing processes while designing the most efficient machines on the market. In fact, they introduced a global integrated management system for environmental issues that makes certain they maintain high standards for environmental responsibility wherever their operations take them.
Sanitizing heat
If you don't have a baby, you might not know that cloth diapers are all the rage among environmentally-conscious parents. With velcro or snaps instead of pins, and cute, streamlined designs, their popularity means that more people are looking for the ideal washer to keep them clean. The Bosch WAS24460UC is perfect for this kind of need, because the internal water heater gives you the option to sanitize. With this innovative cycle, a thermostat-controlled, intelligent sensor heats up the water to 170° Fahrenheit and maintains the temperature for exactly 3 minutes. After killing 99.9 percent of most common household bacteria, the water temperature is reduced to a gentler 150° Fahrenheit to prevent clothing breakdown. The clothes are thoroughly cleaned and sanitized with no damage to fibers. Perfect for cloth diapers, but also great for towels, bedding, and other items that need an extra level of clean.
