- You keep a distance of 1.5 meters.
- There are no corona-related symptoms at your home.

- Upon arrival and installation in another room, the other members of your household wait until the delivery person has left.
Thanks for your cooperation!
Will you still take my old appliance?
Yes. Just make sure that the old appliance is clean, dry and disconnected. We also take the packaging materials with us. Good riddance!
Note: if you have chosen a subscription to washing including drying, we will only collect your old washer or dryer. Not both. Because we transport multiple products in 1 trip, it is not possible to take 2 separate appliances.
I'm in quarantine. Do you come by for delivery or service?
Now that's unfortunate! We keep our fingers crossed that you will be better soon. But no, we will not come by if you're in quarantine. Of course, we want to help you but we want to also want to limit the spread and protect others. We hope to hear from you on 088 - 424 45 67 or via info@bluemovement.com once you are better! Then we can reschedule our appointment as soon as possible.
Will corona affect the delivery time of my appliance?
No. We will call you within 2 days after you've taken out a subscription to schedule a delivery appointment.
Do you take extra hygienic measures during delivery?
Of course. Hygiene is always important to us, but especially now, it is our highest priority. For example, our delivery people disinfect their hands, keep 1.5 meters distance and avoid physical contact. They also sign the consignment note themselves, after approval from you, and write down your first and last name in block letters.
Obviously, we follow the guidelines of the RIVM.
Do you still have enough stock?
Absolutely. You don't have to worry that the washer, dryer or fridge you like is no longer available.
I have a question about the corona virus that is not listed here. How can I reach you?
Better safe than sorry! You can ask us anything. We can be reached in various ways. Choose your preferred way:
- By telephone from Monday to Saturday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on 088 - 424 45 67

If the check has a negative result, we will not allow this person or that specific address to take one of our subscriptions.
I changed my mind and would like to cancel the subscription. Is this possible?

Payment
How much does a subscription cost?
That differs per subscription. You can choose from 3 types of subscriptions; Basic, Comfort and Premium. Basic is the cheapest option. Check the subscriptions to see the most up-to-date subscription costs. All mentioned prices include VAT.
How do I pay the deposit and subscription?
You can pay the deposit directly when taking out the subscription via iDeal or credit card.
You pay the monthly costs by direct debit or credit card. When you take out your BlueMovement subscription, you authorize BSH Household Appliances B.V. to debit the subscription costs every month by means of a direct debit or credit card from your bank account. When the appliance is delivered later in the month (not on the first of the month), your first charge will be less and can be paid a few days after delivery.
Can I pay manually?
No. Manual payments are automatically reversed. You pay monthly by direct debit. More convenient for you because it's another thing you don't have to think about.
When are the subscription costs deducted?
The 1st charge will be debited within 5 days after delivery. After that, the subscription costs are always collected in the first week of each new month. Do you prefer a different moment? Get in touch with our customer heros and arrange a more convenient time for you.
What happens if my payment fails?
No worries! We will not immediately collect your device. If your payment is unsuccessful, you will receive an email with a payment link that is valid for 7 days. Not paid after 4 days? Then we will send you a reminder. Not paid after 7 days? Then the invoice is automatically sent to the collection agency at the end of the month. You will receive a new secure payment link from then. Unfortunately, it is not possible to send a new link from BlueMovement directly once it has expired.
Contract takeover
I would like to take over the subscription from BlueMovement. How do I make this happen?
That's nice! Contract takeover is only possible if you continue to live at the address of the current BlueMovement subscriber. You can arrange the transfer with the current contractholder in 3 simple steps:
- The current subscriber logs in to MyBlueMovement and clicks on 'transfer' to start the process.
- You confirm the contract takeover by e-mail.
- We transfer the subscription.
We ensure that the subscription is in your name, the subscription fees remain the same and the deposit is refunded to the previous contractholder.
I want to transfer the BlueMovement subscription. How do I arrange this?

What is Cancellation Compensation?
A cancellation fee is an amount that you have to pay when you cancel the subscription before the end date of the contract period.
This is how it works
For a subscription of 3 months and 1 year, you will pay the full remaining amount of the subscription fee when you cancel after the first 30 days. For example; you have a 3-month subscription and you cancel after 2 months. Then you pay for the remaining month in full.

Right of withdrawal
You have the right to withdraw from the contract within 14 days without reason. The withdrawal period expires 14 days after the day on which you or a third party designated by you, who is not the carrier, physically takes possession of the appliance of the concluded subscription.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, you must inform us by means of an unambiguous statement (for example in writing, by post, fax or e-mail) that you wish to cancel the contract. You can use the Model withdrawal form, but you are not obliged to do so. To meet the withdrawal period, it is sufficient to send your communication regarding the exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Consequences of the revocation If you cancel the agreement, you will receive all payments made up to that time back without delay and in any case no later than 14 days after we have been informed of your decision that you wish to cancel the agreement. We will pay you back with the same payment method with which you made the original transaction, unless you have agreed to another payment method; in any case, no costs will be charged for the refund. We may withhold the refund until we have received the appliances back or you have provided proof that you have returned the appliances, whichever comes first. You must return or hand over the appliances to us immediately, but in any case no later than 14 days after the day on which you have notified us of your decision to cancel the contract. You are on time if you return the appliances before the period of 14 days has expired. The direct costs of returning the appliances are yours. If we have to pick up the appliance from you again, we will charge a return fee of €75. You are liable for the depreciation of the appliances resulting from the use of the appliances, which goes beyond what is necessary to determine the nature, characteristics and operation of the appliances. You are also obliged to pay any subscription costs until the moment of termination.

Service
Delivery
When will my product be delivered?
This depends on the size of the product.
A delivery appointment is made for all major products that are installed by us. Of course, when it suits you best! Our logistics partner Vonk will contact you within 1 working day to schedule an appointment.
For all small products that are shipped via PostNL parcel post, you can expect these to arrive within 3 - 7 working days after ordering. You will receive a track & trace email as soon as the product has been shipped. The delivery person puts the package at the door and waits for you to to come to the door and accept the delivery. However, no physical contact will be made, a 100% corona proof delivery! Not home? No problem. Check what to do.
Do I have to be home for delivery?
Yes, especially when we come to deliver large appliances such as washers and refrigerators. You accept the product yourself and also sign for it. Make sure to have your ID with you, because you need to show it to our delivery person.
You do not necessarily have to be home for small products, such as kitchen machines and vacuums, because we send those by parcel post. If you are not home, it will be delivered to a pick-up point near you. Note: only you can pick up the package. Bring your identification, this will be requested.
Are there any delivery restrictions?
Yes, but not that many though! If we need to climb the stairs, we will deliver up to 4th floor. If you live on a higher floor, you have to take it up further by yourself if there's no elevator in your building. If you live on the Wadden Islands, we will not be able to deliver your product within 3 working days.
This only applies to large products that we install for you. We send small products such as vacuums via parcel post.
Is delivery free of charge?
Yes, a first-time delivery is free of charge. This also applies to the second time, if you accidentally forget about the first delivery appointment or just missed us. However, if you're unable to open the door for us at the second delivery attempt and we need to reschedule for a third time, we'll charge €70 for our third delivery.
This only applies to large products that we install for you. We send small products such as vacuums via parcel post. This is always free.
Guarantee

As long as your subscription runs, you always have a working product. We take care of that. So there are no unexpected costs such as transportation costs, material costs or hourly wages.

If the product can not be fixed, we will exchange it for a new one. Obviously, the defect should not be caused by incorrect use of the product. We strongly recommend to always read the instructions carefully.
Installation
Do you install the appliance?
Yes! Due to the stricter government guidelines regarding corona, we have adjusted our approach slightly. We need your help to install the appliance safely and correctly.
We only install if:
- Our delivery person has easy access to the room where the appliance will be placed.
- The area where the appliance is installed is clean and tidy.
- You also keep 1.5 meters distance.
- There are no corona-related symptoms at your home.
- 1 member of your household lets our delivery person in.
- You wait in another room during installation.
- Upon arrival and installation in another room, other members of your household wait until the delivery person has left.
Thanks for your cooperation!
This only applies to large products that we install for you. We send small products such as vacuums via parcel post. The delivery person puts the parcel at the door and waits for you to open the door, without any physical contact: 100% corona proof!
What do I need to connect the product?
We connect large electrical appliances such as washing machines and dryers to a grounded electrical socket near the placement of the appliance. If there's none available but you do have a pull switch? We use that too to connect washers, dryiers, washer-dryers and dishwasher. We create an electrical outlet from the pull switch. Quite a technical thing, but it's important that a pull switch is near when we come for installation. Furthermore, from a safety point of view, we are not allowed to modify or make other connections such as a y-junction.
In addition, our products require other connections to be able to install it successfully. If you don't have the correct connection at home, then we can't install the appliance for you. So please check whether you already have the correct connection at home.
Check what you need for:
Malfunction
The appliance does not work anymore, what should I do now?
You may be able to solve the defect yourself by reading the manual and see if the defect can easily be solved yourself. No luck?
We are here for you. Contact us on 088 424 4567 or via the contact form.
First of all, we try to solve the defect together with you (remotely). This doesn't work? Then we'll try to come by within 3 working days and repair your appliance. If this is not a user error, the costs are of course for us. If the appliance can no longer be repaired, we will replace the appliance for a new one and possibly refund a pro rata part of the monthly amount.
My product indicates an error. What should I do now?
First step is to read the instruction manual. You might find the solution there. Still stuck? Please contact us! We are here for you.
More service
Will you collect my old appliance?
Sure thing! Make sure that the old appliance is clean, dry and disconnected. It's also important that the appliance is completely intact. We do not take any loose parts with us. When making the delivery appointment, please let us know beforehand that we can collect your old appliance.
Note: If you have chosen a subscription for washing including drying, we will only take your old washing machine or dryer with you. Not both appliances. Because we transport multiple products in 1 trip, it is not possible for us to transport 2 separate appliance.
This only applies to large products that we install for you. We send small products like vacuum cleaners via parcel post. We will not separately collect your old appliance. You can take your old appliance to the recycling centre.
Do you also collect small electric products?
Of course! We've partnered up with Wecycle and as a Wecycle Premium Pick-up Partner, we gladly collect all your small electric products when we come to deliver our appliance.
What do we collect?
All appliances with a cord or that run on batteries. For example:
- Blowdryer / curling iron
- Shaving machine / trimmer
- Smartphone / charger
- Frying pan / blender / kitchen machine
- Toaster / toasty maker
- Electric toothbrush
- Printer/ mouse
- Electric tools like a drill
What do I need to do ?
- Remove all batteries from the appliances. These can be recycled seperately.
- Make sure that the product is clean. For example, remove fat from the frying pan.
Keep in mind: We only collect smaller products when we come to your home to install larger appliances. Smaller appliances, like vacuums, are sent by parcel post. We suggest you then take small electric products to the recycling point or to a Wecycle recycle bin. Check this page (in Dutch) to see where you can find the nearest recycle point and what appliances they accept.
Why this collab with Wecycle?
Just like Wecycle, we are big supporters of smart reuse and recycling. Less waste, more nature, more clean air. And the more people who contribute to this, the bigger the impact we can make together. That's why we want to make it as easy as possible. You happy. Planet happy!
What will you do with my old BlueMovement appliance?
We give it a second life. After we've collected the old BlueMovement appliance from you, we will bring it to our partner Coolrec. They carry out the recycling process.
How can I reach the service department?
Do you have a problem or just a question? We are here for you. Our customer experts are available from Monday to Saturday from 9 am to 5 pm via telephone number: 088 424 4567. You can also contact us via the contact form we will respond within 1 working day.
Do I have to pay travel- and material costs?
If the defect and / or the repair is not a due to wrongful use, we will cover all repair costs. So, you're always guaranteed of a working appliance for the duration of your subscription. In the event of a wrongful use, we will assess the costs on a case-by-case basis and whether we have to pass them on to you.
Are there any hidden costs when something needs to be fixed?
During your subscription, you have 100% warranty and service. You don't have to worry about expiring warranty, transport- and material costs. Of course, this does not apply if you are not careful with our appliances or when you don't use the appliance according to its manual. Before our Bosch technician comes over, we will always first check whether it can be solved remotely (and with your help).
I broke the appliance. What should I do now?

Products
General product info
Is a refurbished product energy-efficient?
Yes, because our Bosch professionals check the quality and sustainability of each to-refurbish product.
Good to know
When you go for refurbished, you go for extra sustainable. Refurbished means that you make smart use of existing products and ensure that there's less waste. Because a refurbished product isn't brand-new and the regulations for the new energy label have been adapted, only new products get an energy label.
So, how you can be sure that you get an energy-saving refurbished product from us? Because the refurbished product is only sent to you when our professionals left a green check on all checkpoints.
How do you guarantee the quality of the refurbished appliances?
Our refurbished appliances have been thoroughly checked and cleaned by Bosch professionals. Broken parts have been replaced and the appliance is ready for a second life.
Good to know:
The refurbished appliance you get may look different from the appliance you see in the photos on our website. Even if the appearance may vary, the specifications and functions correspond to the product description.
In short; with a refurbished appliance you get high quality at an attractive price.
Where can I find the type number of my appliance?
The type number of your appliance can be found in your own BlueMovement account and on the type plate of the appliance.
I lost my manual, what should I do now?
That's no problem. You can always contact us for a digital manual. Ask our customer service by phone 088 424 4567 or via the contact form.
Are all your products from Bosch?
Yes. All products are from Bosch. This way you can be sure that you get top-notch quality.
Is it true that there will be a new energy label? And what's changing?
That's right, from March 1st 2021, washing machines, washer-dryers, dishwashers, refrigerators (fridge-freezer combinations) and freezers have a new energy label.
Because new ways are being used to measure power consumption, this new label will help more in making a sustainable choice than the current label does.
The new energy label will already be placed on the products before this date.
Main general changes:
- The + signs after the letters will no longer exist (eg A +, A ++ etc.).
- The new classification will be A to G.
- A QR code will be placed on the energy label. With this code you can read more information about the product.
View the most important changes per product:
Refrigerators
What do I need to connect the fridge?
We connect fridges to a a grounded electrical outlet near the appliance. Furthermore, from a safety point of view, we are not allowed to modify or make other connections such as a y-junction. Ordered our premium fridge? Then you need a dongle to connect the fridge with the Home Connect app on your smartphone. The dongle is not included and needs to be purchased seperately. Don't want to connect the fridge to the Home Connect app, than you don't need a dongle. Your fridge will run smoothly either way.
Why doesn't the technician connect the refrigerator right away?
All appliances from BlueMovement are transported by our logistics partner. Because they have many deliveries every day, it can happen that the refrigerator is in the truck for quite a while before it's delivered to you. Transporting the unit may cause the coolant in the refrigerator to shake from side to side.
It is important that this liquid is completely calm again before connecting the refrigerator. Wait at least 1 hour before connecting and plugging in the refrigerator.
In what condition should I return my refrigerator?
If you want to cancel the subscription, you must return the refrigerator clean and empty. This is both hygienic and necessary for our logistics partner who returns the appliance to the refurbishment center.
Can the refrigerator be built into my kitchen?
At the moment we only have subscriptions for freestanding fridges. Freestanding fridges are not installed to be fitted in a kitchen cupboard. Don't worry about the looks, because these refrigerators have beautiful, sleek sides. For a freestanding refrigerator you need at least at least 60 cm of free space around it.
Is there a freezer in the fridge?
Absolutely! All our fridges are fridge-freezer combinations. You cool at the top, freeze at the bottom. Giving you a cool and clear overview!
My refrigerator shows an error code, what now?
No worries! Please contact us. We can schedule an appointment with a technician for you.
What will change on the new energy label?
The most important change to the new energy label for refrigerators is:
- The test standard has been expanded. The energy class on the new label is based on the type of appliance, how it operates, the room temperature and the number and size of the compartments.
The new label looks like this:
Explanation per part:

Washing machines
Is an additional part included to stack the washer and dryer?
Yes. We thought of everything. You can let us know during the ordering process if you need this additional part. We love making your life easier.
What do I need to connect the washing machine?
A water connection (water supply / water outlet) with hose and a grounded electrical outlet. Make sure the hose is long enough. If the hose is not long enough to connect the washing machine to the water connection, you will need an extension set. Check it before installation. Do you need an extension set? We can arrange it for you, please indicate it during the order in "step 1 Details", you can use the box "Note (s) for the delivery person".
Good to know:
We connect washing machines to a pull switch. We create an electrical outlet. Quite technical, but that's why it's important that a pull switch is present when we come to install. Furthermore, from a safety point of view, we are not allowed to modify or make other connections such as a y-junction.
What can I do to keep the washer clean?
Your subscription includes maintenance, but it is useful to also upkeep the appliance yourself. For example, by cleaning the filters. This will make your washing machine function optimally and will make sure that your clothes remain beautiful. Another tip is to run the washing machine without a load of laundry at the highest temperature once a month.
What will change on the new energy label?
The most important changes to the new energy label for washers are:
- On the new energy label, energy consumption is based on 100 washes per year. On the current label this is 220.
- There will be a new part on the label: "Eco 40-60 program". This indicates the most efficient duration of a wash cycle based on energy and water consumption.
The new label looks like this:
Explanation per part:
- QR code
- Energy-efficiency class *
- Weighted energy consumption in kWh / 100 washing cycles (with Eco 40-60 program) *
- Maximum loading capacity
- Duration of the "Eco 40-60" program

Dryers
Is an additional part included to stack the washer and dryer?
Yes. We thought of everything. You can let us know during the ordering process if you need this additional part. We love making your life easier.
What do I need to connect the dryer?
A water drain or a condensation tray. Do you have a water outlet? Then it is important that there is also a hose that connects the dryer to the water outlet. Is the water discharged through a condensation tray? Then you don't need a hose. Remember to empty the condensation tray after every drying session. This way you prevent the container from overflowing. In addition, you must also have an grounded electrical outlet.
Good to know:
We connect dryers to a pull switch. We use it to create an electrical outlet. Quite technical, but that's why it's important that a pull switch is present when we come to install. Furthermore, from a safety point of view, we are not allowed to modify or make other connections such as a y-junction.
What can I do to keep the dryer clean?
Your subscription includes maintenance, but it is useful that also upkeep your appliance. For example, by cleaning the fluff filters. This allows your dryer to function optimally and your clothes will stay beautiful.
Washer-dryer combinations
What do I need to connect the washer dryer?
A water connection (water supply / water outlet) with hose and an grounded electrical outlet. Make sure the hose is long enough. If the hose is not long enough to connect the washer dryer to the water connection, you will need an extension set. Check it before installation. Do you need an extension set? We will arrange it for you. Please indicate it during the order in "step 1 Details", you can use the box "Note (s) for the delivery person".
Good to know:
We connect washer dryer combinations to a pull switch. We create an electrical outler. Quite technical, but it that's why it's important that a pull switch is present when we come to install. Furthermore, from a safety point of view, we are not allowed to modify or make other connections such as a y-junction.
How long does a full wash & dry cycle take?
If your clothes are not that dirty, you can wash and dry them within an hour with the Wash & dry 60 program. This program is suitable for lightly soiled clothes made from a fabric that can be washed at a high temperature, like cotton or linen. For dirtier clothes, check the washer dryer combination instructions for optimal washing and drying time.
How many kilos can I wash and dry in one go?
With our washer-dryer combinations you can wash and dry a maximum of 6 kg in one go. Note: if you use the Wash & dry 60 program, you can wash and dry a maximum of 1 kg at a time.
How many kilos can I wash in one go with your washer dryer combinations?
A maximum of 10 kg per wash.
How many kilos of laundry can the Wash & Dry 60 program handle in one go?
A maximum of 1 kg per wash and dry.
Is a washer dryer better than a separate washing machine and dryer?
This depends entirely on your living situation. Do you have limited space? Then a washer dryer combination is the perfect solution, because you have 2 products in 1. The quality of either appliance is high because all our washers, dryers and washer dryer combinations are from Bosch.
Will you take my old washer and dryer with you when you deliver my new washer dryer combination?
No, unfortunately that's not possible. Because we transport multiple products in one trip, it is not possible to take back 2 separate appliance. We can take either your old washer or your old dryer with us.
What will change on the new energy label?
The most important changes to the new energy label for washer dryer combinations are:
- On the new energy label, energy consumption is based on 100 turns per year. On the current label this is 220.
- On the new label, information about washing and drying is provided on the left. On the right side you will find information about washing only.

Dishwashers
What do I need to connect the dishwasher?
- A washing machine tap. This is a tap with a 3/4" thread.
- A connection for a dishwasher to the siphon of the sink or a loose drain pipe.
Good to know:
We connect dishwashers to a pull switch. We create an electrical outlet. Quite technical, but that's why it's important that a pull switch is present when we come to install. Furthermore, from a safety point of view, we are not allowed to modify or make other connections such as a y-junction.

Do I have to pay a deposit for the vacuum cleaner?
Yes, there's a €20 deposit.
When will my vacuum cleaner be delivered?

SmartGrow
Do I need to buy soil for SmartGrow?
No, soil is not necessary. The smart SmartGrow system automatically enables optimal growing conditions.
Why do I get new capsules every 3 months?
Because you may want something different from time to time. You can store 6 capsules at the same time in SmartGrow. Once an herb is fully grown, you can still enjoy it. There's no need to replace it, but you might want to try something different. A great way to discover your favourites!
Can I transfer herbs from SmartGrow?
Yes, of course!
This is how you do it:
- Only move capsules with plants when they are young and small.
- Carefully remove the capsule with the plant from the holder.
- Place the capsule with the plant in a pot with soil.
- Cover the pot for the first few days. The plants have to get used to the natural light slowly and the roots need to find a good grip in the soil.
Where should I place SmartGrow in my house?
You can place your SmartGrow almost anywhere. Because SmartGrow does not need sunlight, you can easily place it in the hallway, bedroom or kitchen.
Tip!
Do not place your SmartGrow in direct sunlight or near the heating or air conditioning. This is not good for the plants because the light cover in SmartGrow automatically provides enough light. If (too much) sunlight or dry/warm air from the heating or air conditioning is added, the plants may dry out.
How energy-efficient is SmartGrow?
The energy consumption of SmartGrow is low. This is because the lamps and pump are not constantly on. Your SmartGrow consumes around 60 kWh per year.
What do I get when I take a subscription to SmartGrow?
You get a Bosch SmartGrow 6 incl. Starter kit with 6 different capsules and 2 height modules. You can grow basil, lemon basil, dill, koriander, flat parsley and sage with the capsules in the starter kit. Perfect to kickstart your SmartGrow adventure!
After this you will receive a new set of 6 capsules every 3 months. You can choose from 4 different packages.
The subscription also includes service and any repairs or replacement. Do you have a question about your SmartGrow? We are here for you! Please get in touch via contact.
I want to grow other herbs. Where can I get them?
After the starter kit, you will receive 1 package with 6 new capsules every 3 months. We give you the option to choose from 4 types of packages of 6 capsules each.
How do I clean SmartGrow?
We recommend that you clean all parts after each harvest. The bowl, water and planter are dishwasher safe up to 55 °C. The electrical parts are not, just wipe those off with a damp cloth.
Do I have to put special water in the water bowl?
No, tap water is perfectly fine.
Can I place SmartGrow outside?
No. SmartGrow is made for indoor use only. The device cannot stand changing weather conditions like cold, heat, rain or snow.
What should I do when the blue lights are blinking?
This can mean 2 things; either it's time to water the plants or the pump is loose. Check the water level and top up if necessary. Do the lights still blink after following these steps? Please contact with us.
Do I have to pay a deposit for SmartGrow?
Yes, there's a €20 deposit.
When will my SmartGrow be delivered?
We cannot say that with 100% certainty. We ship the SmartGrows every Wednesday and Friday, so take about 3 - 7 working days delivery time via parcel post into account. We ship the capsules separately, which you will receive a day before your SmartGrow is delivered or on the same day. We make sure that you can get started quickly!
Part of my SmartGrow is broken. What should I do now?
No worries! Send an email to support@bluemovement.com, we might be able to send the part to you.
I canceled my subscription. How do I return my SmartGrow?
Send an email to support@bluemovement.com and indicate that you want to return SmartGrow. We will then send you a return label by e-mail. Stick this on the original box and send it back to us.
About BlueMovement
Save
How much do I save?
That's difficult to say. How much you save depends on; the appliances you use, your living situation and your use. To save as much as possible, we recommend that you use appliances consciously. Wash when the washing machine is full, unplug smartphone chargers from the wall when you're not charging; all those things help. Don't forget to pay attention to the energy class! A +++ or A ++ are the most sustainable choices. Tip: with our i-DOS™ wasmachine you save an average of 7,062 liters of water and 33% detergent per year. These smart washers automatically dose based on the amount of laundry. How's that for smart saving?
Will my energy bill drop?
That's possible, but this depends, among other things, on your old appliance, your living situation and your energy use. An important factor as well is the energy class of the appliance. That is why you can only choose from the most sustainable products with your BlueMovement subscription. Most of our products have an A +++ energy label. Super efficient! Good for the planet and your wallet.
Can I also contribute to the environment?
By subscribing to BlueMovement you automatically contribute to a better world. This is because all our appliances are very energy-efficient and also use low doses of detergent and water. In addition, because we get our appliances back at the end of their lifecycle, we can reuse the parts and its raw materials. This way you also directly contribute to a circular economy.
