Bosch Series 8 WIW28502GB Built in Washing Machine, 8kg, 1400rpm, White

We finally replaced our 18-year-old John Lewis Badged/Bosch washing machine. I was fed up with removing flakes of Dylon dye on my laundry, years after I had stopped dyeing fabrics and garments in the machine. The washing is definitely cleaner and I appreciate the remaining time being projected onto the floor. It’s great being able to check from the kitchen doorway how long until the program finishes. As the WHICH review mentions the door is a bit stiff to open and I find the Touch controls a little unresponsive, but these minor niggles are not enough to lose a star.

Had a Bosch washing machine before so ordered the nearest equivalent model I could find. Installation easy and impressed with the updated features. So far all is ok. My only concern is it is not as quiet as the previous model (15 years) old. Machine is stable no movement when spinning but the drum appears to have a lot of movement. Correct I don’t know?

This machine is so quiet, in the first couple of weeks, I would repeatedly check that, yes it has started, yes it is going through the wash cycle. The door is easy to use, my last machine was so cluncky (eventually the door hinge broke). Did I say it was quiet! I like the floor display - as you walk through the kitchen I can see how much longer the cycle has to run. The alert sound when the was has finished is great - I can hear it through the house. I’ve not yet done a night wash, but understand the alert automatically switches off. Nearly didn’t say - it washes well. One little niggle - select your program, but it doesn’t display the temperature, so I use one of the buttons to cycle through the temp. options, just to check it’s what I want. Installed by Amazon - it was difficult to fit, the guys had to remove some wood/ re drill holes for pipe and the integrated door. Great machine, great service. Top marks.

There’s a fitting the back of this machine that isn’t standard. I’ve not been able to find a plumbers who’s even seen a fitting like this, let alone fit it. I’ve been forced to return machine to Amazon at the cost of £50.

Best washer machine I’ve ever had 👍

Great washing machine shame the installation couldn’t happen, had to get it fitted by someone else at a cost of £132

After having several different makes of noisy rattling washing machines this one is fab. It’s so quiet we forget it’s on some times till we hear the bleep when finished. We also like that it displays where the cycle is & time left on the floor so we don’t have to open the cupboard door to check. No bad points noted yet as only had a few weeks

washes great
