Why You Need Autodosing

Less Detergent

No more guessing! Autodosing means your washer will dispense just the right amount of detergent, so you’ll have less waste each wash.

Fabrics Last Longer

Built-in sensors can detect fabrics and vary the dosage automatically, depending on the size of the load, the program selected, and the user-selected soiling level.

Keep Colours Brighter

Precise dosage helps maintain the quality and colour of your clothes which means less damage of your laundry over time.

Less Water & Saves Energy

Autodosing allows your washing machine to save on water and energy, using only what is required based on your load.

Waste-Free Washing

Whether it’s 5 garments or 25, Autodosing technology senses the weight in your laundry load and adjusts the amount of water and detergent accordingly.

Is Your Water Wash Worthy?

Our water is full of minerals – some of which aren’t ideal for washing delicate fibres. Autodosing tests the water quality and provides you with optimum settings for every wash.

Fabric Feeling Technology

Because every fabric is different, not all of them require the same amount of care. Autodosing machines can detect fabric types and determine how best to clean them.

Dirty Clothes Detector

Autodosing machines feature built-in sensors that detect how dirty your washing is. This enables the system to optimise the amount of water, detergent and rinse time for each wash.

One Fill That Lasts

Enjoy one less thing to worry about. Simply fill up the detergent compartment , and it’s ready to wash for up to 26 washes.

Quick Mini Loads

With an added manual compartment, you also have the option of doing a quick wash for 1-2 garments. It’s a great feature that helps you to reduce water wastage.

Autodosing Technology Glossary

Check out below to get clued up on all the Autodosing jargon before you start shopping.

Inverter Motor

A lot of our autodosing washing machines are made with an inverter motor. Essentially, inverter technology uses magnets in the machine's motor that reduce friction, meaning quieter operation. Washing machines with an inverter motor are ideal for those in smaller apartments and living spaces.

Ultramix

This technology comes with most of our Electrolux autodosers and makes sure your linens come out looking the best they can. Ultramix is the process where your water, detergents and softeners get mixed together before reaching your wash load, evenly distributing them and preventing any detergent stains from forming on your darker fabrics.

UltraPhase

Our Miele washers require an UltraPhase detergent cartridge for the autodosing function to work. Lasting up to 47 washes, set the cartridge in the detergent dispenser and let the machine do the rest.

Varioperfect

Most Bosch autodosing machines comes built with a VarioPerfect drum, allowing you the flexibility to wash the way that suits you. If you're in a hurry, choose the SpeedPerfect setting to complete a wash in under one hour. Alternatively, if time is not an issue and you're after a more economical wash, simply set it to EcoPerfect and let the machine handle the rest.

iDos/ActiveIntelligence/TwinDos

You might see these terms used a lot on our autodosing machines, but don't worry, they all just different ways that our brands refer to autodosing technology.
