Why choose the Bosch WGB264A1GB freestanding washing machine? Choose the Bosch WGB264A1GB if you want a premium Series 8 washer for large family loads, with 11kg capacity plus i-DOS automatic detergent dosing to make everyday washing easier and more efficient. A-rated efficiency, 1400rpm spin and quiet 70dB spin performance suit busy homes. SpeedPerfect helps shorten compatible cycles, while Super Quick 15’/30’ covers lighter loads. Iron Assist, Added Steam, Home Connect and Mini Load add smart, practical convenience for mixed laundry routines. i-DOS with Detergent Scan Bosch i-DOS automatic dosing removes the need to manually measure detergent and softener for every wash. Using Detergent Scan through the Home Connect app, detergent and softener bottles can be scanned so the washing machine can use dosage and water hardness data to help determine the appropriate settings. This automatic dosing system is designed to use the required amount of detergent and softener, helping to reduce unnecessary use of detergent and water while maintaining effective washing results. SpeedPerfect for Faster Washing When you need laundry ready sooner, SpeedPerfect can reduce washing time by up to 65% without compromising results when used with compatible programmes. It can be combined with most programmes and is suitable for different load sizes and fabric types. The machine also includes Super Quick 15'/30' alongside a range of programmes for everyday laundry, including Cottons, Eco 40-60, Easy Care, Mixed Load, Delicates/Silk, Wool, Hygiene Plus, Sportswear, Auto, Rinse and Spin/Drain. Iron Assist and Added Steam Iron Assist uses steam to help reduce wrinkles and make ironing easier. It can gently steam freshly washed and dried items in around 20 minutes and can also be used to reduce wrinkles in previously worn clothing. The Added Steam option introduces a steam phase at the end of a washing cycle and can help reduce wrinkles by up to 40% under the stated test conditions, helping to reduce the amount of ironing required. Mini Load for Very Small Washes The Mini Load option is designed for single items and very small loads of up to 0.5kg. The washing machine adjusts its operation to wash these smaller loads quickly, carefully and efficiently. Active Water Plus Active Water Plus automatically detects the type and size of the laundry load and adjusts water consumption accordingly. Bosch states that the system can save up to 50% of water when washing smaller loads, based on a comparison between quarter and full loads using the Eco 40-60 programme. Home Connect Smart Washing Machine The Bosch WGB264A1GB is a Home Connect washing machine, allowing compatible connected functions to be accessed through the Bosch Home Connect app. Remote monitoring and control let you check programme progress and receive useful status notifications on your mobile device. The Easy Start Guide can recommend a suitable wash programme based on details including the colour, material and degree of soiling of your laundry. Compatible app functionality also provides access to additional programmes. Voice control is supported through compatible Amazon Alexa functionality where the relevant Home Connect skill is available for your country and language. Reload Function Forgotten an item after starting the wash? The Reload function allows you to pause compatible cycles and add or remove clothing before continuing. For safety, Reload cannot be used when the suds are hotter than 50°C or when the water level is too high. AquaStop Water Protection AquaStop provides protection against water damage and incorporates a double-walled feed hose, safety valve and floor tank with float switch. Bosch states that AquaStop protection applies for the lifetime of the appliance, subject to terms and conditions. Less Microplastic Programme The Less Microplastic programme uses specially adjusted spin speeds and water levels to wash clothing more gently and minimise microplastic fibre release. Bosch states that it can reduce microplastic fibre release by up to 30%, based on its specified test method and comparison.
