Washers & Dryers – tested to last up to 20 years*.Since 1958 we have designed our laundry appliances to handle the most demanding of loads. All models undergo tests that simulate 20 years of use, while technologies such as the self‑cleaning condenser and ActiveWater Plus provide durable, trouble‑free operation.

Refrigerators tested to withstand 300,000 door openings.We design our refrigerators with a single aim: to exceed European quality standards, not just meet them. Only models that pass our stringent checks go into production, and each refrigerator is put through up to 15 rigorous tests before it leaves the factory.

Quality recognised by independent tests.Bosch was the brand with the most test wins for major home appliances among independent test institutes affiliated with ICRT in 2025.(1) But the true proof of quality is customers’ choice: we are the No. 1 company in Europe for built‑in appliances.(2)
