New generation narrow Bosch Avantixx6 washing machines
The key characteristic of the new Bosch Avantixx6 models is the 3D washing system. If inside the drum of a conventional washing machine, grippers move the laundry, forcing it to move in a 2-dimensional plane of rotation of the drum, then the Avantixx6 models work according to a different scheme. First of all, thanks to the 3D Aquaspar system, water is supplied here from three sides, immediately acting on the fabric and ensuring uniform wetting. During the washing process, the asymmetrical shape of the drum grips, as well as the special three-dimensional shape of the loading hatch glass, force the laundry to also move in the longitudinal direction of the drum rotation axis. The movement of laundry in the drum occurs in space in three dimensions. Thus, it moves evenly throughout the entire volume of the drum, avoiding “stagnation zones” where contact with the washing solution is not long enough. As a result, things become really clean, there is no effect of premature wear and tear of the fabric.
In addition, Avantixx6 models are among the quietest in their class. The special rigid design of the body and Antivibration side panels reduces vibration and makes the machine more stable and quiet during operation. In machines of this type, moving parts (tank, drum, motor) are attached to the body using three shock absorber supports - just like on full-length premium washing machines. Imbalance control occurs using a sensitive 3D sensor located at the bottom of the tank. Thanks to the quiet and economical “Night Wash” program, you don’t have to worry about disturbing your household’s sleep in a small apartment and switch to more affordable nightly electricity rates.
The special surface of the VarioSoft drum with drop-shaped protrusions and its special design dose the mechanical impact depending on the type of fabric specified by the program. There are more than 20 combinations of speed and direction of drum movement depending on the program.
With the AquaStop leak protection system in models WLK20240OE and WLK20140OE, you don’t have to worry about flooding your neighbors, and in the event of a power outage, the Volt Check system will complete the washing program. When the power supply is restored, the washing machine itself will continue the progress of the set program and bring it to the end.

Narrow washing machines BOSCH Avantixx6 WLK 2 series, 44 cm deep
Narrow washing machines Avantixx6. Now, innovations and original design ideas previously found only in full-length Premium class machines are implemented in a compact body with a depth of 44 cm. Every year, Bosch specialists wash 3,500 tons (!) of laundry in laboratories, developing new programs, adjusting the nature of the drum movement for each program, testing their reliability and durability. Bosch Avantixx 6 washing machines surround each type of fabric with a unique 3-dimensional care designed exclusively for this type of fabric. 3D Washing technology – uniform and high-quality washing, as well as careful care of laundry in three dimensions. Inside the drum of a conventional washing machine, grippers move the laundry, forcing it to move in a 2-dimensional plane of rotation of the drum. The washing process is completely different in the new narrow Avantixx 6 washing machines with 3D Washing technology. The unique shape of the VarioSoft drum grips, as well as the special complex three-dimensional shape of the loading hatch glass, force the laundry to also move in the longitudinal direction of the drum rotation axis during the washing process. The movement of laundry in the drum occurs in space in three dimensions. During the washing process, it moves evenly throughout the entire volume of the drum, avoiding “stagnation zones” where it could be washed worse due to insufficient contact with the washing solution, and is also evenly and delicately exposed to mechanical stress, avoiding premature wear. The 46 liter VarioSoft drum allows you to load up to 6 kg per cycle and makes the washing process more efficient. The drop-shaped protrusions of the drum surface and the grips have an asymmetrical shape. When the drum rotates in one direction, the laundry is exposed to a more intense impact of the steep side of the protrusions and grips; when rotated in the other direction, the laundry is exposed to the soft impact of the flat side. More than 20 combinations of speed and direction of drum movement depending on the program. AntiVibration Special AntiVibration stampings on the side walls increase the rigidity of the body, reduce vibration and make the machine more stable and quiet during operation. In addition, in the machines the tank is supported by three shock absorbers - just like on full-size premium washing machines. Imbalance control is carried out using a more sensitive and faster 3G sensor located at the bottom of the tank. 3D-AquaSpar For effective and quick wetting of laundry, additional water is supplied from the side of the hatch cuff. VarioPerfect For the first time in narrow washing machines. Thanks to this function, the consumer has the opportunity to reduce washing time (speedPerfect) or energy consumption (ecoPerfect). At the same time, the impeccable quality of washing will remain unchanged. Volt Check A convenient and reliable system of protection against surges and power outages. Thanks to this system, the devices operate uninterruptedly in a wide voltage range from 170 to 270 Volts. Moreover, in the event of a temporary power outage, when the power supply is subsequently restored, the washing machine itself will continue to perform the task, and the very fact of a power outage will be reflected on the multifunction display. Night program Take advantage of low night energy rates without disturbing the quiet of the night, thanks to the quiet “Night program” in the Avantixx 6 VarioPerfect series machines. During this program, the washing process occurs with minimal mechanical stress and a minimum intermediate spin speed. At the end of the program there is no sound signal and no final spin. In the morning, you just need to activate the final spin and get washed, spun clothes. “Shirts/Blouses”* is a delicate program, best suited for modern business attire. “Down Jackets Program”* – The amount of water and the nature of the drum movements are specially selected for products made from down, which has a high absorbency. During the washing cycle, special pauses are maintained to allow the washing solution to be absorbed throughout the entire volume of the product. And the spin phase is characterized by several successive steps with a gradual increase in speed. “Children's clothes” * – a program with a large amount of water, a long enzyme phase and additional rinsing effectively removes 99.9% of microorganisms and substances that can cause allergies. Confirmed by the European Center for Allergy Research ECARF (Berlin).

Bosch Avantixx6 washing machine: after washing in 3D and laundry becomes three-dimensional
On August 29, 2013, Bosch introduced a new series of narrow Bosch Avantixx6 washing machines with 3D Washing technology. The main achievement is the use of 3D technologies in narrow Bosch washing machines, previously available only in the company’s full-size models. The movement of clothes in the drum occurs in three dimensions: during the washing process, the laundry moves evenly throughout the entire volume of the drum, avoiding “stagnation zones” where it could be washed worse due to insufficient contact with the washing solution, and is also evenly and delicately subjected to mechanical stress, avoiding premature wear.
And this is achieved due to the fact that movement along the axis of rotation is added to the left/right movements of the drum. This became possible thanks to the special shape of the glass of the loading hatch and the asymmetrical grips of the drum.
The water supply system is also carried out in three directions, which ensures quick and uniform wetting of the laundry and separates the directions of water supply during washing and rinsing.
Sensitive ActiveWater sensors evaluate the load level, type of fabric, selected program and, based on these data, calculate the optimal amount of water, mechanical impact, washing and rinsing time.
Bosch Avantixx6 washing machines are designed for stable operation in the voltage range from 170 to 270 V. If the voltage drops below the permissible threshold or there is a sudden power outage, the machine remembers the current phase of the program and, when the power is restored, will continue the washing cycle from the moment it stopped and complete the program.
The price of new products is from 17,000 rubles, the warranty period is 1 year, the service life is 10 years. The Leak Protection is guaranteed for the entire service life of the machine. In the event of a water spill due to the fault of the manufacturer (such cases practically never happen), the company will not only repair the washing machine at its own expense, but will also compensate for all damage caused. All details are documented in the warranty statement.
