Both these machines by Bosch are amongst their best selling washing machines in India. Both these products are really good as you would have seen from the user reviews above (If not, suggest you at least look at the overall rating – Link in the table above)
Common Features:
- Both these machines have a load capacity of 7 Kgs. This is good enough for a small family of 3 or 4.
- These machines have dryers with a rotation speed of 1200 RPM. It works really well. On top of that, they also have a “Monsoon Mode”. In this mode, the clothes are rinsed in hot water and then spun to dry. This helps the clothes dry faster.

- They have built-in protection for low and high voltage fluctuations
- The ActiveWater functionality regulates the water level by sensing the load of the clothes. This not only saves water but also electricity.
- The super quick 15 mode gives you an option to quick wash the not so dirty clothes. This not only saves energy & water but also your precious time.

What are the differences?
- So the biggest difference between the two washing machines is the big LED display that the Bosch WAK24268IN sports. It certainly makes your machine look better but also adds a few functionalities to this particular model.
- The second difference is the addition of a temperature control button on WAK24268IN. This allows you to set the temperature independently while using any wash cycle. This functionality is not available in WAK24168IN
- Another similar difference is a separate button to control the dryer cycle RPM. You can independently set the speed while using any of the pre-programmed wash cycles.
- The WAK24168IN also has a wash cycle called AllergyPlus + ECARF. This mode gives your clothes a super hygienic wash. This might be useful if you have a baby. This also might be useful for people with severe allergy problems.

Are Bosch WAK2416SIN and WAK24168IN the same models?
Hi Abhi,
There would be minor differences between the two. However, I would recommend buying the more popular model, that is, WAK24168IN (Between these two models)

Hi Ami,
If budget is not an issue, I recommend this model. It is the latest of all the models in question.
However, if you are on a budget, consider the model I recommend in the article above.
Hope this helps!
very nice work.
I order the Bosch 7 Kg WAK24168IN from Flipkart but its specifications from that listed on Amazon for some reason.
My queries:
1) Does the Bosch 7 Kg WAK24168IN have a stainless steel tub?
2) Does the Bosch 7 Kg WAK24168IN work on Tumble wash principle?
3) Does the Bosch 7 Kg WAK24168IN has a built in heater?
Expecting a response.
Hey,
I think the 4th difference is that WAK24268IN has AllergyPlus+ECAF cycle not WAK24168IN
Hi Kranthi,
