The modern market for household appliances, including washing machines, offers consumers a huge selection of appliances from various manufacturers. Therefore, buyers often have a choice not only in terms of the set of necessary functions, appearance, price, but also in terms of company.
Each consumer, purchasing expensive equipment, first of all wants it to serve as long as possible. In addition, it is imperative that the declared value justifies the quality, which today has become less common. German quality + high technology - all this combines the Bosch WLX 20463 washing machine.
Dimensions
This is a narrow freestanding washing machine. Its depth is only 40 cm, while the height and width are standard - 85 cm and 60 cm, respectively. This model is suitable for both small bathrooms and for installation in the kitchen. The manufacturer provides for the dismantling of the top cover of the device, which allows it to be built into furniture if necessary.
Characteristics and features of the model
German manufacturers made every effort to achieve maximum operating comfort.
The 3D-Aquaspar feature of the Bosch WLX 20463 is not just about intensive washing. Each textile product pre-passes the so-called shower. This helps to significantly save energy and improves the quality of the program. Therefore, user reviews regarding the quality of washing and rinsing are mostly positive.
Providing control of foaming implies the automatic inclusion of a repeated rinse, if too much thick foam is formed during the washing process. In the event that the powder or other cleaning agent gave too much foam, the washing machine starts a second rinse so that there are no traces on the clothes.
If it seems to the user that there is too little water in the tank, an additional supply can be activated using the “Water +” function. The control panel is created according to the modern type of Touch Control.
Another feature of the model is the rational use of water according to the principle: the greater the load on the washing machine, the more water is collected in the tank. This helps to eliminate unnecessary water consumption and make the use of the washing machine more rational without additional financial investments. Now you don’t need to save dirty clothes and linen to start washing and are not afraid of water overruns. Model Bosch WLX 20463 allows you to wash even one T-shirt.
Electronic control (intelligent), there is a test display with touch buttons and backlight.
Leakage protection
Another equally important function that distinguishes the line of washing machines from Bosch and Siemens is the protection, which consists of several degrees, from leaks. It includes:
- Inlet hose. It is able to withstand the pressure of water under pressure.
- Water dosing system.
- Luke. As soon as the washing process begins, it automatically locks.
Washing programs
In Bosch WLX 20463 OE you can wash absolutely any thing. This is due to the versatility of the device and a wide variety of washing modes:
- Three modes for washing cotton (eco, intensive, universal).
- Wash synthetic things.
- Wool.
- Linens.
- Mixed type of things.
- Gentle wash for silk.
There are also several modes that provide quick wash. Thus, you can get already semi-dry and fresh clothes in just 15 minutes of time. However, it is worth noting that such modes are suitable for things where there is no serious pollution.
For each program, temperature and spin speed settings are available (up to 1000 revolutions). If necessary, spin can be completely canceled. All indicators can be seen on the control panel. There is a delay in the start of washing - up to 24 hours.
At the end of the washing program, the washing machine will notify the user with a sound signal. The volume level of this signal can also be adjusted.

User's manual
Included in the kit. Despite the fact that all operating instructions for Bosch washing machines are quite similar, it is recommended that you carefully read the rules of use and installation requirements to extend the life of the technical device. Especially if the consumer installs and connects the device independently, without the help of a wizard.
The use of the washing machine is intended for washing textiles, which can be considered suitable for washing in the manual mode with the addition of various cleaning products. The device can be used exclusively for domestic purposes, and operation involves the use of cold water.
Before starting work, it is recommended to pay attention to the following instructions:
- Before sending clothes to the tank, it is imperative to check all pockets for metal objects that could seriously damage the washing machine.
- To avoid damage to textiles sewn from delicate fabric, it is recommended to use a special bag. As a rule, these include hosiery, underwear.

Bosch WLX 20463: price
The average cost of a washing machine is 20,000-25,000 rubles. However, you can find Bosch WLX 20463 at a price much cheaper. So, for example, the online store does not wind up an additional commission, so it is likely that the difference in value is 2000-5000 rubles. But it is extremely important in this case to demand from the seller a certificate of conformity that this product is not a fake assembled in China.
How many kilograms of linen is the tank designed for?
The maximum load of linen is not more than five kilograms. At the same time, it is recommended to take into account the fact that when wet, all things become heavier, so it is still not recommended to load the drum to failure.
The technical device independently calculates the required amount of water using automatic sensors, taking into account the degree of load. This significantly reduces the degree of energy consumption.
