Bosch Home & Kitchen Appliances WAN28281GB Washing Machine, 8kg Capacity, AllergyPlus, SpeedPerfect, White, Freestanding

Wonderfully quiet machine which delivers a superb wash. Things are coming out cleaner than ever. Only downside is that the cycles are very long - the eco cycle is over 3 hours! Not an easy item to return due to bulk and weight but very disappointed that the top was dented and scratched to the extent that the metal was exposed. Hope it doesn't rust as a result. The top had been covered in cardboard but something very heavy and sharp must have been dropped on it. Not discovered until the delivery men had left and we removed the carboard packaging on the top of the machine. Suggest polystyrene (eco variety) instead of cardboard for future reference. Considering the long wait for its delivery, the damage is very disappointing

Was a bit put off by reviews saying it had long complicated cycles, but have found it very straight forward to use and it washes very nicely. You can shorten most cycles using 'speed perfect'- and in the quick wash this reduces it from 30 to 15 mins (but this does then require a spin which adds another 13 mins) and this reduces the size of the load to 2kgs- but perfect for a quick turn around for a few items. A mixed load cycle completed in 59mins, compared to the 3+hours for some other cycles. The only issue I have had so far is when putting a Childs coat in a quick wash followed by a spin- it couldn't balance the weight so didn't spin properly- but I threw in a few clean towels to balance it and it worked fine! A great machine, and happy customer.

Great machine - fairly quiet compared to our last machine. Easy to understand programmes - I personally only use one or two so this machine fits the bill. Has a useful 15 or 30 minute quick wash and you can adjust things like spin speed, temperature etc. For each programme. All in all, I am pleased with my purchase up to now and if it lasts as long as my previous machine (11 years) I shall be very happy.

My 13 year old Bosch washing machine finally died. It had been perfectly reliable up to that point so I stuck with Bosch for its replacement. On arrival it was noticable how much lighter it was compared to the old one. Plumbing it in was simple as it had the same connections. After half a dozen or so loads I can say that it's much quieter than my old machine. The programmes take much longer like for like though. I presume it's for eco reasons but its the reason I've taken a star off. I often have to shut the door a couple of times and press it in further until it will lock. Clothes have been coming out nicely cleaned but no drier than with my old machine even though the spin speed is now faster. Judging by my smart meter, energy consumption has dropped by quite a bit. Very handy in current times with such high energy bills. It sounds like I'm not too happy with this but its just that my old machine was so good, hence I stuck with Bosch. Hopefully it last as long! I hope you find my review helpful.

I like it. I've been using it for 4 years; never any problems. Easy to use; takes a large load. It has a super fast mode that works well if there's only a small load; using "super quick" together with "speed perfect" is great if your little kid wets their trousers; they'll be clean in just 15 minutes. (Then the kid will have to go without trousers for a few hours while they dry on the washing line but you can't blame the washing machine for that.)

Best washing machine I’ve had in years, I love that it indicates the wash weight. Great anti bacterial wash, bedding and towels. Great value for money Old machine taken away No hassle If I have to buy again will still buy this one

It working very well I have always had Bosch washing machines and I have to say I am very happy with the price I got from Amazon fantastic we got a great price because they said the packaging was damage, but we didn’t find anything like that. It was great🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪 love it

I don’t really know how easy it was to install as I paid for installation by the delivery crew. There’s a hell of a lot of washing programs and parameters but I tend to just use the cotton one and switch between 40 degree or 60 degree washes. The wash is very good. The machine is very quiet in operation - both wash and spin cycles. There is virtually no vibration.
