How to find out where a Bosch washing machine was made?

Where are Bosch washing machines assembled?

The washing device of this brand is known all over the world for its reliability and practicality. The quality level from German masters, repeatedly proven, is beyond doubt. But lately the reputation of household appliances from this company has suffered a little, and not entirely positive reviews have begun to appear about it. There is only one reason for this: it all depends on where Bosch washing machines are assembled.

Where are Bosch washing machines made?

A company of the level of Bosch will never risk its reputation and is fully responsible for washing machines of its brand assembled in other countries. Despite strict control, many people are concerned about the question: who is the manufacturer of Bosch models?

European-assembled household appliances are the best. This belief has remained in the minds of consumers since the Soviet shortages. Another stereotype is the assertion that Chinese electronics are not durable. The question of where to assemble a washing machine is often more important for us than its technical characteristics. The reputation of a brand is usually learned from recommendations from sellers or reviews from friends.

Is it worth paying attention to such details if equipment assembled in Asia or Europe has the same warranty, which allows for the possibility of breakdowns?

A little history

The company owes its Bosch brand to Robert Bosch, the founder of the company where the production of electrical equipment was established. The beginning of a long path to fame was the end of the 19th century.

Wars and political games repeatedly destroyed the company, but it was revived again, winning its name in the electrical goods markets and surprising users with new products. The efforts of the founder and family members were not in vain - the Bosch company has firmly found its feet and enjoys well-deserved popularity today.

Today, hundreds of enterprises in dozens of different countries around the world work for the Bosch brand, producing thousands of different products.

The production of Bosch automatic washing devices began relatively late. Successful models first began arriving on German markets in 1958.

Since 1972, the company began mass supply of washing machines, creating a sensation among most women, which increased not only its own reputation, but also income. In Russia, such a product became known not so long ago - since 1997, but this did not create obstacles for the Bosch company to firmly establish itself in the market, beginning its systematic development, which does not end in our time.

Let's try to figure out which countries assemble automatic cars from the company known by its name Bosch.

List of manufacturing countries

Naturally, the standard for the production of household appliances for washing clothes remains in Germany, where the famous Bosch company was able to expand. Today, the largest production base of the BSH concern is located here, producing washing machines under the Bosch brand. This is where the production of the most functional products of the WLX and WAS series is located.

In the mid-90s, a policy was launched to optimize production located in Germany and form new enterprises in countries with inexpensive labor and conditions conducive to business development. Germany left four enterprises on its own lands, becoming the core of scientific thought.

Centers, laboratory buildings and pilot production facilities are being formed in large cities to develop advanced technologies for Bosch, which are subsequently implemented in new models of washing machines. But no matter how much you would like to buy a German-assembled car, it turns out to be not such a simple matter - only seven percent of the total number of cars supplied to world markets is produced there.

Let's look at the specifics of German cars produced by Bosch. Whatever the representatives of the company tell their customers about the quality of products manufactured in other countries, experienced specialists know one thing - if the washing machine has o, then such a unit will surpass all analogues assembled in other American and European countries, not to mention the models produced established in Russia, Latin America, China.

Which countries still produce Bosch washing machines? The maximum number of factories is located in Europe. In addition to four German enterprises, there are another thirty-seven facilities located here that manufacture washing machines and their components:

LG

The factories of this South Korean company produce a variety of household appliances. Where are LG washing machines assembled, is it really only in Korea? In fact, only ten percent of produced washing machines are made in Korea. There is no need to panic, because no matter what country the device is produced in, the same technology is used for the production of components and assembly.

Important! This brand produces unique models with innovative technical solutions. All of them are aimed at increasing user comfort and efficiency in caring for things. We have prepared several useful reviews of washing machines from this manufacturer:

• LG direct drive washing machine.
• LG direct drive washing machine 6 kg.
• LG washing machine with steam.

In which countries is the production of LGI washing machines established?

1. China. Washing machines with large drums are assembled in Hong Kong. They are equipped with half load features, Fuzzy Logic and many more.
2. South Korea. In Seoul, at production bases, components are produced and automatic washing machines of the latest generation are assembled.
3. Philippines. Assembly lines are located in Manila, and there are component production plants in other cities.
4. Indonesia. The production of components is established here, which are then sent to China.
5. Russia. Since 2006, the company's largest plant began operating in the Moscow region. Most washing machines sold in Russia are made here.
6. Taiwan. Microwave ovens, refrigerators and washing machines are assembled at a small plant in Taipei.

Important! Units from LG differ:

• “smart” Fuzzi Logic modules;
• Inexpensive price, but high quality;
• Reliable inverter motors;
• Good balancing, acceptable noise level, simple and understandable programs;
• Useful features to make washing easier.

Model overview

Today, under the Bosch brand, various countries produce about five hundred models of automatic machines with different performance characteristics. From such a huge range, each buyer will be able to choose the modification that is most suitable for him. What are their main advantages? We list the main ones:

Today, the CIS countries offer a huge number of modifications of washing machines, the most functional of which are the following samples:

Consolidated point of view of specialists

Is it worth buying Bosch washing machines assembled in Russia? Judging by the reviews of experts, yes. The plant in St. Petersburg produces high-quality automatic cars that are not inferior to their German counterparts.

Professionals are confident that Russian assembly is not a disadvantage. There is a simple explanation for this - well-established quality control. The St. Petersburg plant does not produce parts and components, but only connects large units into one whole. It is quite difficult to make a mistake when performing these actions.

Experts do not see any significant differences, other than cost, between equipment assembled in Germany and Russia.

On the Internet you can find information that the rating of Bosch washing machines assembled in the Russian Federation is lower than that of similar equipment produced in other countries.
These data have no confirmation. When deciding whether to buy a “Russian” Bosch machine, think about whether there is a need to overpay twice as much for a European equivalent. A washing machine with a manufacturing defect can be caught in both cases. Even if domestically assembled machines have minor shortcomings that slightly shorten their service life, this is fully compensated for by the “pleasant” price of the equipment.

Russian enterprises do not produce parts and elements of Bosch machines. The factory only assembles the main components supplied by the manufacturer. Therefore, you should not be afraid for the quality of components. Bosch washing machines assembled in Russia deserve the attention of buyers. They are also hopeful and durable, like the German "twins".

Which factory produces better?

There is no doubt that Germany takes the lead in producing the highest quality washing machines . The country has the largest headquarters and factory for the production of household appliances.

It is in Germany that the latest and most advanced models labeled WLX and WAS are produced. However, it is not so easy for a Russian consumer to purchase a German-assembled device. This country produces no more than 7% of the total number of Bosch washing machines in the world. Although such models still exist on the market.

The main advantages of washing machines assembled in Germany:

1. 
   High quality pump with 6 blades. For example, machines made in China have a classic pump with 4 blades.

2. The presence of a seal inside the case, which provides additional sound insulation.
3. Glass hatch covered with a plastic partition.
4. A highly efficient heating element, the service life of which is at least 10 years, and for older models - 15 years.
5. The presence of a stiffener along the central part of the body.

The cost of household appliances assembled in Germany will be approximately 2 times higher. It is believed that the secret to the quality of devices lies in the impeccable execution of components and impeccable assembly.

According to experts, cars produced in German factories last 5-7 years longer than their counterparts from other countries of the world. Bosch washing machines assembled in Poland are of good quality. However, they do not have stiffeners or noise absorbers; the pump is installed with 3 screws.

Whether or not to buy a Bosch washing machine assembled in China is up to each buyer to decide independently . In such devices a proprietary electronic module is installed, but the model itself will be simplified as much as possible.

It has a thinner body and hatch glass, no seals, different shock absorbers and a pump with 4 latches, which rotates in different directions. The service life of such pumps, according to household appliance repair specialists, is about 3 years.

Where are Bosch washing machines assembled: countries in Europe and Asia, how to determine the manufacturer?

Many are still convinced that Bosch products such as an automatic washing machine are produced only in Germany, but this is far from the case. Due to the increase in production of equipment, the corporation located its factories in many countries around the world. Similar models may differ depending on the country of origin.

About the brand

The famous Bosch company was formed in Germany in the late 60s of the twentieth century by merging the departments responsible for the production of household and television equipment of the equally famous brands Siemens AG and Robert GmbH. The holding has at its disposal more than 40 factories in many countries around the world.

They produce many different appliances that make housework easier: refrigerators, dishwashers, stoves, ovens and much more.

But one of the symbols of the company and its remarkable European quality was the German-assembled Bosch washing machine. A significant number of operators of washing installations want to have such a unit directly manufactured in Germany at home. What is the secret of such popularity of this particular brand? There are several reasons for this.

Where are they collected?

The geography of enterprises that assemble Bosch washing machines is very extensive; they are located almost all over the world. Currently the company has 37 foreign divisions located in Europe, Africa, Asia and Latin America.

In European countries

Factories available:

There are factories in Russia, located in the cities of Engels and Togliatti, with units of the WLF, WLG, WLX types coming out of their conveyors.

In China

Of course, this could not have happened without the “interference” of China. The Celestial Empire produces equipment marked WVD, WVF, WLM, WLO. Such machines differ from others in their larger capacity, they have drying and other additional functions.

In addition, there are 6 enterprises in Latin America. So, without exaggeration, we can say that Bosch household appliances are known throughout the world.

Where are Bosch washing machines made for Russia?

Bosch washing machines are a German brand . The company was founded in 1886. Initially, the company's prerogative was refrigerators. But after the merger with Siemens, which occurred in 1967, the company began producing washing machines.

Products of this brand first appeared on the Russian market in 1904. Since then, the company has been actively developing and increasing production. Today there are 7 factories operating in the Russian Federation. The production of washing machines is carried out in the Leningrad region.

You can understand in which country a Bosch washing machine was manufactured by looking at the markings. If it begins with the letters WLF, WLG, WLX, then the device was assembled in the Russian Federation. Also, information about the country is always on the nameplate, which is glued to the body of the washing machine.

How to determine the country of origin?

At the moment, the corporation produces more than 500 models of automatic washing machines with vertical and horizontal loading methods. If the buyer is interested in a specific manufacturer, then it is worth studying the labeling of the unit. By deciphering the letters and numbers in the model name, the client can obtain information about exactly where the product was made.

All this data can be found quite simply: you need to look at the panel glued to the back wall or to the inside of the hatch of the washing machine. The information must be identical on both sheets. You can also find out a lot of information from the serial number of the device. In 2021, the company introduced a new, more detailed classification of washing machines by labeling. Currently, the following information can be obtained from the letters and numbers of the number.

W is the first letter in the name , it indicates that this is a washing machine, since the company produces household appliances for other purposes. The second character indicates the model type:

The third letter indicates the series of machines:

This information does not have much meaning, but simply indicates that some changes have been made to these machines. The fourth and fifth digits indicate the maximum drum rotation speed per minute. The sixth and seventh characters indicate the control method (touch or button). And the eighth sign carries information on design, color and other parameters. Then there are two letters that will tell you for which country the product was produced. Attention – not which one, but for which one.

To determine which country the Bosch washing machine was manufactured in, you should also pay attention to the serial number. The manufacturer is indicated by the first two digits in the number. For example, Germany – 40, Poland – 41 and so on. Next comes the year of manufacture (according to the last digit of the decade). The next group of numbers (4 and 5) is the month of manufacture, the next batch of seven numbers is internal information for manufacturers and service centers.

Then there are 4 characters indicating the number of that particular model. And the last digit is a control digit; it exists to verify all information.

There are a lot of counterfeits of equipment from well-known brands on the market, so you should pay close attention to such information.

Next is a video on how to choose a Bosch washing machine.

Machine dimensions

When choosing a washing machine, you also pay attention to its shape and size.

Narrow washing machines are marked WLG. This refers to front-loading machines. Prices for such models vary from 20 to 45 thousand rubles, depending on the set of functionality.

Top loading machines. They save space, since the width is no more than 40 cm. They have additional functions of rinsing and draining without spinning. These units are quite expensive as they are reduced in size.

Features of washing machines from the Bosch brand

The first washing machine rolled off the Bosch Corporation production line in 1914. Initially, the units were intended for use in factories, and in 1972, washing machines went on sale and began to be widely used in everyday life.

Working in conditions of fierce competition, the concern is developing dynamically, regularly introducing its own technologies and “refreshing” its model range. The manufacturer exercises strict control over the devices assembled in its branches.

The main advantages of Bosch washing equipment:

Each model is equipped with a balance stabilizer to prevent shaking, overload protection and a contamination sensor.

Even such technically advanced equipment is not without its drawbacks.

When choosing a Bosch washing machine, you should consider some nuances:

Where is BOSCH assembled?

Many people want to buy Bosch washing machines assembled in Germany because of the high European quality standards. It's no secret that the Germans assemble their equipment with high quality.

Specialists use only original parts, assemble them on German equipment, following unique developments.

With all this, the price remains more than competitive even on the Russian market.

In addition to Germany, Bosch equipment is assembled in Western and Eastern Europe, Southeast Asia and the CIS countries.

Experts note that German-assembled washing machines are superior to equipment assembled in other countries.

It is worth noting that the share of manufactured products in Germany of the world is only 7 percent, that is, it is not easy to stumble upon it.

According to statistics, cars from Bosch’s homeland are on average five to seven years more durable than their international “brothers.”

There are only 4 factories for the production of washing equipment in Germany.

One of the largest is located in the city of Noen near Brandenburg; not only Bosch, but also Siemens washing machines are produced here.

Basically, the Germans produce cars with the WAS, WAY, WIS, WLX, WKD logo. For example, they no longer produce new washing and drying machines in their country. Because, as in other countries, it is more profitable to carry out assembly due to cheap labor and favorable business conditions.

And in Germany, they mainly develop laboratories, technology centers, and pilot production to create more and more advanced and convenient technology for humanity.

In addition to the 4 German factories, 37 more are located around the world:

• – Washing machines WAA, WAB, WAE, WOR are made in Poland.
• – France produces WOT cars.
• – Spain produces equipment marked WAQ.
• – WAA and WAB washing machines are supplied from Turkey.
• – In Russia (the cities of Engels and Tolyatti) they produce washing machines WLF, WLG, WLX.
• – China supplies equipment marked WVD, WVF, WLM, WLO.

Buying Bosch equipment

When choosing a washing machine, you need to decide on the size, either you need a compact model, or you are ready to take a large-sized washing machine with a great design.

BOSCH also has a special line of washing machines for embedding into furniture, which have reduced vibration during operation. Think about what washing machine load will be optimal for you; the company offers models of 3, 5 and seven kg.

Today, BOSCH produces about 500 different models of modern washing machines.

Characteristics of some of them:

BOSCH WLG 20060 OE is a reliable and fairly inexpensive washing machine with a laundry capacity of up to 5 kg. The technique is simple, but the basic programs are present. There is protection against imbalance, leakage and excess foaming. Assembly in Russia, price about 310 dollars.

BOSCH WVH28442OE is a washer-dryer unit with 16 washing programs and quite a large number of functions. For example, automatic detection of the weight of things, loading the machine halfway, light ironing, re-rinsing if necessary, and much more. Load for washing 7 kg, for drying - 4 kg. Country of origin China. The price is about 1500 dollars.

BOSCH WAW32540OE is a German-assembled machine, load 9 kg at a spin speed of 1600 rpm, 14 programs and a lot of additional functions (ironing, stopping during a program, washing without a spin function, weighing, etc.). This model can put almost any things in order. The price in Russia ranges from $1,260.

What to look for before buying?

First of all, it is necessary to compare the technical capabilities of the unit with the expected loads.

The main attention should be paid to: loading method, equipment dimensions and productivity. Understanding the markings will help you understand the range of Bosch washing machines.

In order not to get confused in the variety of washing machines from Bosch, you should adhere to the conditional selection algorithm.

It is primarily necessary to decide on the following parameters:

Let's take a closer look at these features of the brand's washing machines.

Loading method and capacity

Download method . Bosch offers models with side and top cover. Front-mounted machines will cost less than their vertical counterparts, they are easier to maintain and less noisy.

The upper part of the horizontal washing machine can be used as a cabinet; above it you can place a functional countertop or washbasin. The main thing is to provide a place to open the door.

The design of vertical washing machines is more complex and, accordingly, the cost is higher. Due to the two-axis mounting of the drum, the machine may shake violently during operation.

Capacity . The basic selection criterion is the “load capacity” of the drum. When choosing, you should consider the number of family members. If 3-4 people live in a house, then a machine with a capacity of 5 kg is considered optimal. For each subsequent family member you need to add 1.5 kg.

In terms of economy, a machine with a spacious drum is more profitable. In one go you can wash all the laundry. However, in conditions of small space, you have to make a compromise by choosing narrow models.

Optimal machine size

Before purchasing, you need to measure the space allocated for the washing machine. For Bosch front-facing machines, the height and width are usually 85 cm and 60 cm, respectively. The main difference in the dimensions of washing machines lies in the depth.

Bosch vertical washing machines are mainly produced in one standard size: depth – 65 cm, height/width – 90/40 cm.

Spin speed and class

The indicator indicates the number of revolutions per minute and determines the degree of humidity of the washed items.

Segmentation of the Bosch model range by spin:

It is important to consider both the minimum and maximum values. The lower bar indicates the possibility of spinning delicate items, and the upper bar indicates the quality of pre-drying of cotton fabrics.

The accompanying documents indicate the washing class. The letter marking AG denotes the efficiency and economy of washing.

All Bosch machines, regardless of cost and design features, belong to class A - the highest level of device performance.

Basic energy consumption criteria

Generally accepted standards provide for 7 categories of devices based on energy consumption. The classes are marked in Latin letters: A – the most economical devices, G – high-cost equipment.

New generation washing machines have minimal energy consumption. The equipment represents classes A+ , A++ and A+++ .

Design features of different series

Cars of the German brand are produced within one of five series. Each group has different design features, implemented technologies and additional functionality.

More about Serie 2 cars

Optimal balance of quality and affordable cost. The devices correspond to washing class A and energy consumption class A+++.

The most significant technologies implemented:

The maximum load for Serie 2 washing machines is 6 kg, the estimated cost is 300-320 USD.

Features of Serie 4 technology

The most popular machines that combine convenience, safety of use with an affordable price.

Technological equipment: child lock, anti-vibration strips on the body, contactless EcoSilence Drive . The fourth series contains functionality, as in the previous group of Bosch washing machines.

General parameters of Serie 6 washers

Avantixx series includes about twenty modifications with different form factors: narrow, built-in and full-size frontal, as well as vertical.

Electronically controlled equipment, classic design and rich functionality:

The cost of Serie 6 equipment, depending on the model, ranges from 410 USD. up to 950 USD

What makes the Serie 8 instruments stand out?

The Logixx 8 series machines are front-loading units. The group included about ten copies of full-sized free-standing washing machines.

The equipment belongs to the premium segment and is suitable for families with children, where they often have to wash a lot of things with different stains.

It is possible to save an individual washing program and select an operating mode to effectively remove 16 types of stains.

Bosch offers the buyer a lifetime warranty on AquaStop - protection against leaks. Estimated price of Logixx 8 – 700-950 USD.

Features of Serie Home Professional

Full-size premium equipment. With a drum volume of 65 liters, productivity per cycle reaches 8-9 kg. The models embody all the advantages of their predecessors.

Choosing a washing machine

Knowing all the intricacies of production, it is easier to choose high-quality original equipment. There are no difficulties in preferring certain parameters. It is important to determine the basic requirements for choosing a washing machine:

1. Manufacturer country;
2. Country of assembly;
3. Assembly type.

The choice then depends on the required functions:

1. Linen capacity;
2. Dimensions of the washing machine;
3. Availability of additional functions.

Washing machines of the Eurosoba brand are the smallest; their dimensions make it easy to install the machine under the sink. For most people living in small apartments, purchasing a washing machine is a problem.

The volume of the drum is no less important. For a small family there is no need to purchase a washing machine with a load of 5-6-7 kg, but on the contrary, a large family needs a spacious machine. It is quite difficult to find a high-quality washing machine that meets all the requirements. A good option for small families would be a washing machine from the Eurosoba brand; its capacity does not exceed 3 kg, and models of various designs will fit into any interior.

Narrow-sized Russian-made washing machines lose their advantage in maximum load capacity, but gain in terms of efficiency. For example, a Kandy brand unit with a depth of 330 millimeters can accommodate 4.5 kilograms of laundry, and a volume of 400 mm processes up to seven kilograms. Standard domestic devices are designed for a load of 8 kg.

When choosing a unit, you should take into account the degree of protection against leaks and voltage surges. Most modern models have efficiency class “A”, which meets European requirements. The average water consumption does not exceed 45 liters per cycle thanks to the use of the latest technologies, including commutator motors for a Russian-made washing machine.

Unfortunately, the assembly and production of equipment on the territory of the Russian Federation did not have a positive effect on the quality of the assembly. But the price has also decreased, which has made the devices more accessible to the wider population. As service center specialists note, Chinese and Russian modifications can be classified as the most unreliable devices in their segment.

Bosch Series 6 washing machines: understanding the markings

The markings on Bosch washing machines contain encoded information about some of their parameters, so it is very important to understand what is behind a particular letter or number.

The marking of BOSCH models is as follows: ХХХ 1111 1(Х) ХХ, where the “X” symbol means letters, and the ones mean numbers.

Washing machine Bosch Series 6 WAT 28780

First letters (ХХХ)

The first letter of the marking in all Bosch machines is the same - W, which means “washer” - washing machine (the concern produces not only washing machines, so this letter is important for identifying the product by marking).

The second letter means the form factor: “A” - front full-size freestanding, “I” - front integrated (that is, built-in), “L” - front narrow, “O” - top-loading.

With the third letter things are somewhat more complicated. In some models, it indicates the generation of the car (for example, the letter “K” indicates that the car belongs to the sixth series of Bosch cars produced in 2015, and the letter “T” belongs to the same series, but already produced in 2021 ). If the third letter is “Q”, then it no longer indicates the series and year, but the country of origin, or rather Spain.
