Background and favourite product features of the Bosch Maxx 6 Series

Washing machines in the Bosch Maxx 6 Series were manufactured from 2006 to 2012 and dryers in the series were manufactured in 2005 and 2006. The washers were produced as front loaders and top loaders. The washers and dryers conform to current energy efficiency classes.

Maxx 6 varioPerfect
Combines the advantages of other established Bosch features such as ecoPerfect and speedPerfect. The principle behind varioPerfect is simple: Each wash cycle is controlled by four parameters: time, energy/heat, motion/action and detergent. If any one parameter is altered – for instance, the time is reduced – the others are increased accordingly.

Maxx 6 Sensitive
This feature was used by Bosch Maxx 6 dryers to ensure the extremely gentle care of your laundry.

Maxx 6 ecoSpar
Up to 30 percent more economical than the threshold value for energy efficiency class A

Maxx 6 Exclusive – the exclusive programme from your exclusive dealer
Exclusive is the service programme for Bosch appliances that are available only from your exclusive dealer. Our focus is on fulfilling a promise: to make your life easier through enhanced service.

Maxx 6 Xpress
Washes fabrics in just 15 minutes.

Maxx 6 ecoWash
Washes even small loads economically. With ActiveWater.
The automatic load adjustment system “ActiveWater” detects the washing machine’s load status on three levels and ensures that the energy and water used for the load are the exact amounts necessary.

ExtraShort 15': Washes 2 kg of laundry in just 15 minutes.

ExtraShort15 enables you to wash 2 kg of lightly soiled fabrics in a record time of 15 minutes – including washing, rinsing and spinning!

Greater flexibility thanks to time delay.

With the 24-hour time delay, you enjoy even more flexibility. Pre-set the time that you want your washing machine programme to start. This way, you can determine exactly when your laundry will be done.

Maxx 6 Jeans care
Washes in such a way as to preserve colours, making it suitable for dark clothing and jeans.
