The Flex House features a suite of compact European-style appli-
ances from Bosch Home Appliances, all of which are ENERGY STAR
certified. These include a 24”-inch refrigerator, cooktop, wall oven and
range hood, an 18-inch dishwasher, and a 24-inch washer and dryer pair.
Aside from their compact size, the sleek design of these appli-
ances allows them to seamlessly integrate into small spaces. The
counter-depth refrigerator includes a hidden hinge that allows it to
be installed nearly flush into the cabinetry. The cooktop is frame-
less, with sleek, intuitive controls and four burners of varying sizes,
and the convection wall oven offers 10 cooking modes. The pull-out
range hood installs flush with cabinetry and can be closed and neatly
stored when not in use.
Other features make the appliances ideal for small-footprint
homes. Sound-dampening technologies ensure that the dishwasher
is near silent, and thanks to its brushless EcoSilence BLDC motor,
the washer is extremely quiet, too. The condensation dryer does not
require ducting, reducing its footprint and giving it more installation
flexibility, and the washer and dryer are stackable. GB
