Ordinary washing machines generally have relatively traditional wash modes, using a cycle of washing, rinsing, and quick spin-drying. Little do people know, this age-old washing method struggles to handle certain special fabric garments, which is also why some washing machines can’t wash down jackets or waterproof shell jackets.
However, the three new outdoor all-purpose series washing machines recently launched by Bosch – the WAS244600W, WAS244680W, and WAS284670W – use a unique smart module combined with specialized wash programs for waterproof shell jackets, down jackets, and a “clean & quiet” dual-effect system driven by a BLDC motor. This perfectly solves the challenge of cleaning garments made from special fabrics. Whether you’re venturing outdoors or roaming across wild landscapes, you no longer need to fear the threats of mud, frost, rain, or snow, and can fully enjoy the thrill of outdoor sports.
The reason why waterproof shell jackets and down jackets are problematic for washing machines mainly lies in the breathability of their fabrics. To protect the breathable coatings and seam-sealed layers of shell jackets and prevent damage to their waterproof, breathable, and windproof functions caused by the mechanical force of washing, Bosch’s outdoor all-purpose series washing machines recreate the jackets’ original performance through computer-controlled variable-speed washing, temperature-regulated rinsing, and gentle spin-drying. For down jackets, Bosch washing machines employ a process of double soaking, extended immersion, and variable spin-drying to protect the warmth of the down filling.
Quick wash is also an essential feature of any washing machine. The Bosch outdoor all-purpose series washing machine offers six fast-wash programs that optimize the wash cycle and adjust the drum rotation-to-pause ratio. While ensuring effective cleaning, these programs reduce wash time to under 60 minutes, giving you a head start in your laundry routine.
When it comes to the washing machine’s power, the BLDC brushless motor used by Bosch is the core technology behind the outdoor all-purpose series. The BLDC motor eliminates the commutator brushes used in traditional brushed motors to alternate the electromagnetic field, hence the name “brushless.” It offers advantages such as low noise, reduced energy consumption, and easy maintenance.
The Bosch outdoor all-purpose series washing machine shows true ingenuity when it comes to noise reduction. In addition to using an ultra-quiet BLDC motor, its integrated design along with a ring-shaped noise-reducing side panel helps dampen vibrations through water-ripple-patterned surfaces. This effectively minimizes shaking caused by high-speed drum operation and tightly seals in operational noise, allowing you to enjoy a “clean & quiet” laundry space even after a wild outdoor adventure.
