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

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

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 washing machine however the installation costing £40 was extremely poor. The feet weren't adjusted leaving the machine wobbling about. Then heard loud banging noises during the first run. Pulled the machine out and found the travel bolt plastic sleeves had been left in, these were banging against the drum internally causing the noise. Hopefully no long lasting damage to the machine! My partner warned me about buying this on Amazon as she was concerned the installation wouldn't be done properly and she was right.

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.

I have had this Bosch washing machine for two years and nine months. It is now out of warranty and making a noise like Concorde during the spin cycle.. an engineers report has confirmed that the bearings need replacing. This is a fault they would not expect to see until the machine is approximately 10 years old.. it is clearly a quality issue which Amazon have refused to address. I would never buy a high value item from Amazon again. I am advised by reputable Bosch dealer that Amazon frequently receive cheaper manufactured models which are not of the same quality.. Beware of buying high value goods from Amazon because you cannot guarantee the quality and there certainly is no after care servic

I love Bosch kitchen products. Our last Washing Machine lasted over 13 years, was used virtually every day and never required an engineer visit or a replacement part. This latest machine is good but it does not excel. It washes well, is incredibly quiet, appears to be well built and still inspires confidence. However: 1. The quick wash 15/30 min has a very short max spin speed of 1200 rpm and it's pretty useless. The washing is not as dry as I would like. Certainly nowhere near as dry as the older Bosch I had. So I either have to spin again at 1400 rpm or select to have the wash only with the 'no drain & spin' option and then when that cycle ends, select the drain and spin option separately at 1400. This increases a 15 minute quick wash time to around 30 mins at least. This is a huge disappointment as the one main benefit of having Bosch over others is their famous 'quick wash' option, which is no longer suitable and certainly a 'downgrade' in performance from previous models. I'm not sure it's the spin speed at fault or rather the length it spins for, which is incredibly short. 2. The wash time is ridiculously long. You can shorten most times with 'speed perfect' for smaller loads but for a full load of cotton bedding 3 hours is ludicrous. If like me you prefer to line dry, half the day is gone before you can even put the washing out. 3. Bosch has reduced the packaging that the machine is delivered in. A good thing?! well yes and no. I like the fact that it doesn't come in a massive box, it's delivered wrapped in polythene with polystyrene on all 4 corners but there is no protection at all around the door, which protrudes quite a way. So this makes damage to this part especially, highly likely. So even though it's shrouded in polythene, mine arrived with slight damage to the door. I received discount to keep it but even so it's another disappointment because I am forever looking at the very visible front scratches. Personally I would rather have a cardboard box that can be easily recycled than copious amounts of polythene that offer no real protections at all. I expect all the above, spin speed, wash time and packaging are due to the endlessly changing EU regulations on being overly ECO. I just can't see how increasing wash times which in turn increases energy consumption, reducing drying performance which again means extra energy is needed and reduced packaging which will lead to more returns due to damage, increasing C02 pollution in the transport process, are of much benefit to the overall cause. It would be great if the computerised section of these machines could have a firmware update to correct the flaws, which are all down to program software. As it is, this isn’t possible, so I’m left feeling slightly disappointed, which for me is a new experience with regard a Bosch product. I do feel that perhaps I should’ve spent more time researching other brands, as maybe this time I was duped by my brand loyalty.

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
