When upgrading your kitchen, you may have the vision of the final outcome in your head, but have you ever considered the technology to go with it?

Finding the time to upgrade to the right products can be a time-consuming task and not only that – there is an overwhelming choice out there. One of the main questions to ask yourself is ‘what can a new appliance do for me?’ or ‘how can an appliance better my everyday tasks?’. This is where our guide should come in handy.

We’ll take you through some of our best home appliance features, that we believe will elevate the heart of any home, as well as saving you time, money and effort in the long term.

Ovens.

The oven – the understated appliance of the kitchen, cooks, bakes, grills and yet sometimes the added bonuses go amiss. How many of us can say we just turn it to 180°C on fan mode 90% of its life? Well with a Bosch oven, there’s a lot more included to help you than just its cooking capabilities. With many of our Bosch ovens, your oven not only cooks, it also cleans...

Pyrolytic cleaning – put the heavy-duty rubber gloves away – there’s no need for elbow grease here. This wonderful functionality does all the hard work for you. Heating up to an incredible 480°C, pyrolytic cleaning blitzes any oven residue into a fine dust for you to just wipe away. It’s that easy!

Hobs.

When designing your home there is functionality behind design, and sometimes this can cause the greatest looking kitchens to become a little more ordinary from time to time. With the Bosch venting hobs – you have the flexibility to position your hobs wherever you like. With the integrated ventilation module, your hob can become the key feature of your kitchen allowing you the freedom to keep in conversations with your family even while you’re cooking without the need for an extractor fan to hang from the middle of your ceiling.

Cooling.

Whether you are in need of a big family kitchen or something a little more reserved it’s always great to know you can maximise space in your fridges and freezers. The new Bosch XXL fridge freezers are extra-large providing much more space and flexibility to store your food and with Bosch’s BigBox technology – you have more capacity than ever to stack items effortlessly in your drawers. But it doesn’t stop there, our VitaFresh technology keeps your food fresher for longer too – allowing you to shop less and save more!

Dishwashers.

You may think dishwashers just clean dishes. Well they certainly do but there’s nothing worse than finding half your items aren’t dry once it’s run its cycle. So, what do you do? You end up whipping out the tea towel to do the job your appliance should be more than capable of drying. Introducing PerfectDry – the function you never knew you needed. This innovation saves energy by using natural minerals in our unique Zeolith technology to dry everything to perfection!

Tumble drying.

We move onto another appliance that dries perfectly. Bosch tumble dryers with SelfCleaning Condensers dry clothes more delicately and efficiently. The innovative technology uses water stored from the cycle to constantly clean the condenser meaning your dryer stays more efficient for longer whilst keeping your clothes from shrinking and misshaping.

Washing machines.

We’ve all been there – we throw the laundry in, shut the door and press ‘start cycle’ to turn around and find a rogue sock on the floor. Unlock and Reload is a great innovation where the washing machine will stop anytime during the cycle, drain and then safely unlock in a matter of seconds for you to add to your wash, meaning no dirty laundry has to wait for a full load ever again.

Another impressive feature with selected Bosch washing machines is i-DOS. Our intelligent dosing technology automatically determines the correct setting, amount of detergent and water for a perfect laundry wash time and time again! This is not only great at keeping your clothes fresh, but it also saves on your bills. It’s a win-win!

With all these time and energy saving features in mind, it’s hard to think how these appliances could get any better and surely why we would need them to. But as we said earlier, sometimes you don’t realise what you couldn’t live without, until you got it. Home Connect is the smart technology that lets you control your appliances from your smart phone or tablet. Whether it’s to pre-heat your oven from the comfort of your sofa or to check on the contents of your fridge whilst you’re in the supermarket. Home Connect will give you convenience at the touch of a button.

Now you’ve had a little taster on how Bosch appliances can elevate your kitchen – it’s time to explore our ranges, whether they’re Home Connect enabled or you’re looking for something a little more specific – take a look at our extensive ranges, the right appliance for you is out there…
