To begin with I should acknowledge that a search for a new washer or dryer does not excite me. But since I want a lot out of my appliances, I must do my due diligence. We want the machines in our homes to be efficient, and effective, and then we also want them to be innovative, attractive and environmentally sound. That’s quite a bit when you think it over.

Growing up, my parents were very vocal about all of the attributes Bosch appliances had, and thus purchased them with pride. After conducting a lot of research they held this company above all the others. Originally, I was sure my mom just liked the  dishwasher’s super sleek exterior, and my dad was smitten with the fact that the company had been around since the 1800s. In my infinite wisdom as a thirteen year old, I think you can imagine.

However, when I began my own research regarding appliances as an adult, I went straight to the Bosch website. I wanted to see what, if anything valid could have been so impressive. Straight away I was taken with the company advancements, the vision of the founder, and  the fact that social reform has been an ingredient since the start. I guess my folks were on to something deeper than I gave them credit for. I should probably mention it the next time we meet up.
