Some people may very well still prefer a more simplistic approach to doing laundry, and that method does still exist.
Let's take the WAE28165GB Classixx 6 from Bosch.
This is an amazing machine that resembles some of the modern washing machines, but it lacks some of the more advanced features.
This might sound like a disadvantage, but as we said before, simplicity doesn't have to be a negative factor.
There are plenty of options with the Classixx 6, one of which is the fifteen different clothing care programs.
While it might not get as specific as the other models, you will still be able to select the type of clothing you are washing, and you will of course have the option of choosing permanent press or regular wash.
With a 1400 RPM spin and an express wash for those loads that simply cannot wait, you can be quite sure that your clothes will exit the washing machine in a pristine condition.
In addition to that the loading port is quite easy to access.
The porthole is fairly large and the door opens one 180 degrees to provide you plenty of clearance.
This is not the largest washing machine you can purchase, but it is suited to medium size families at 6kg of space in the drum.
If you're not into the whole ironing concept then you can easily use the reduced ironing option and even take advantage of the safeguard monitoring.
This function will ensure that your clothes remain intact while they are within the Classixx six, meaning fewer trips to the store for you.
If you aren't in a hurry then you might try the plus rinsing option for better results, and all of this can be done in near silence as the washing machine features noise insulation.
A quiet washer gives you the ability to do your laundry at virtually any time of night which is certainly a great feature! The one problem with this model is that it does not feature an LCD or LED display.
Whether or not this is an issue will be up to the individual user as it is quite possible to operate a washing machine without a readout.
In any case the Bosch WAE28165GB is a great choice, and if you happen to be looking for a new washing machine, it is one that you might consider adding to your cleaning arsenal.
