Flexible Storage and Cooking Lineup
Bosch updated its cooling division with a Freestanding Freezer that applies the Flex-Door system. Instead of static shelves, the appliance provides adjustable door compartments to fit different frozen packages without altering exterior dimensions.
For the kitchen, the brand added three air fryers. The Series 2 serves single users or small families with a 4-liter single basket. For larger preparations, the Double Stack offers 12 liters of capacity across two vertical compartments. The Series 4 collection features two choices: a side-by-side Dual Drawer setup holding 4.5 liters per side, and the Double Flex model with a 10-liter container that divides into twin cooking sections.
The company also introduced the HomeCafé Series 4, its first semi-automatic espresso machine. The unit contains a built-in bean grinder with 30 size settings and five dosing options. In addition, Bosch expanded its eco-focused Green Collection line from refrigerators to built-in ovens. The new oven utilizes production materials carrying a 20 percent smaller carbon balance than standard company units.
Floor Maintenance and Low-Energy Laundry
The newly announced OneFlow Wet-and-Dry Vacuum Cleaner combines suction and wet washing into one step. It targets hard floors with dried spills or loose dust, routing liquid waste into an isolated tank. Its MicroClean sensor system spots fine particles on surfaces, while the internal battery runs long enough to cover up to 150 square meters per charge. The base dock cleans and dries the roller brush automatically when users press the self-clean control.
For garments, the Series 8 Washer-Dryer incorporates heat pump mechanics. The machine uses up to 20 liters less water per run and cuts electricity draw by 55 percent compared to typical condenser washer-dryers. European ratings place the wash cycle at 20 percent above Class A requirements, while drying hits Class A. It also contains a self-cleaning condenser unit to stop lint buildup.
