Bosch has partnered with Youreko to help consumers save money when buying Bosch appliances. Using the Youreko Energy Savings Tool via Bosch’s website, customers can view and compare running costs and real money savings over the lifetime of multiple appliances.

Customers can also use the tool to see if there’s another Bosch appliance that could be more cost-effective. The tool (shown below on the Chrome browser) displays running cost and savings information for laundry and cooling appliances.

It also shows how much each appliance will save in energy costs compared to the least efficient like-for-like model in the market. There’s also a gold, silver or bronze rating based on those energy savings. The tool then provides recommendations based on energy savings that have a financial benefit. For example, an alternative Bosch product may be £50 more to buy but cost £300 less to run over its lifetime.

The tool can also be personalised to reflect consumers’ individual usage. For example, they could input how many times a week they use the appliance and the number of years they’d expect its lifetime to be. The tool will adjust to show if the model they’ve selected is the most suitable one or if there’s a more cost- or energy-efficient Bosch appliance. Crucially, it will tailor results to match the capacity of the appliance customers initially chose (for example, a 9kg washing machine or 600–699-litre fridge-freezer) so that they’re not overwhelmed with options.

Lucy Bye, group marketing manager at Bosch comments on the partnership with Youreko: “We are so proud to launch Youreko on our Bosch UK website. The tool allows consumers to make conscious decisions when buying appliances for their home. By being able to compare running costs and money savings, customers can ensure they pick the right model based on what’s most important to them. We are looking forward to consumers using the tool and seeing its full potential!”

Patrick Verdon, Youreko’s founder, adds: “We’re absolutely thrilled to be partnering with Bosch to help consumers save money on energy costs. With sustainable choices becoming more important than ever, our Energy Savings Tool helps people understand how making a smart energy choice translates into savings on running costs when buying a Bosch appliance.”
