Bosch. That’s right, it’s the big one – the Which? Best Large Home Appliance Brand of the Year Award 2011. Bosch has blown away its competitors to become the most recommended, expert-approved name in the world of home appliances.
It’s not the first time they’ve claimed this sought-after prize. Winners of the same category back in 2009, the Bosch brand continues to prove that they’re renowned for excellent quality.
What does this mean to me? I hear you cry. Well, if you do decide to buy a Which? Best Buy, you can be reassured that it’s passed the toughest exams there are with flying colours.
Put to the test
Tried and tested by Which? experts, these Best Buys are given a real grilling over their performance. This is all to make sure they’re the most reliable, safe, value for money and energy efficient models out there.
So, what’s in store for these Best Buys then? Well, let’s take dishwashers for starters. They have to suffer the legendary Egg and Spinach test. Dishes are caked with baked-on spinach, eggs and oat flakes before they’re loaded in to wash. And that’s not all. The inner door is treated to a coating of dried-on jam to see how well the dishwasher can clean itself – it’s the stuff of nightmares.
Cookers don’t have it easy either. Using probes to check temperature levels, the Which? experts can find out how accurately the oven and hob maintain heat. There’s also the grill test which measures the colour of toast to see how evenly the heat spreads. When it’s all said and done, up to 520 slices of bread have been toasted. That’s a lot of bacon butties right there.
It isn’t just the experts who decide though. Feedback from Which? members and the general public is all factored in during the research and testing process, meaning the Best Buys aren’t just expert-approved, they’ve been given the thumbs up by us too.
Which would you choose?
Bosch say that you’re the true winner here and boy do they mean it. With a wide range of Bosch appliances available on our site, including Which? Best Buy models, we couldn’t agree more.
- Take the Logixx WVH28420GB for example. A stallion in the field of washer dryers, it can hit speeds of up to 1400rpm – one of the fastest on the market today.
- And what about the EcoLogixx WTW86560GB condenser dryer? What about it indeed. Super quick and A rated, it’ll have your laundry all dry and toasty in just 40 minutes.
- Bosch also boasts the Exxcel SRS45E42GB slimline dishwasher. It may be slender, but the 9 place settings and silver baskets offer plenty of room for a family of four.
