This washing machine features a generous 9kg capacity, allowing you to wash larger loads of laundry in one go, saving you time and energy. With a spin speed of up to 1400 rpm, it effectively removes excess water from your clothes, reducing drying time.

The Bosch WAU28R90GB is a washing machine that offers efficient and reliable performance. Designed with advanced technology, it is built to provide optimal cleaning results for various types of laundry. One other welcome feature is the drum cleaning reminder. If you run 20 consecutive wash programmes at 40c or under, then the machine will automatically remind you to run the dedicated Drum Clean programme to prevent unwanted build-ups of detergent or bacteria – or, indeed, both. As this is something that’s easy to forget, it’s good to see it integrated as standard. Delicates programme, Easy-care programme, Whites and coloureds programme, Woollens hand wash programme If energy efficiency is a priority, then you’ll need to look towards Bosch’s Serie 8 range for A– and B-rated machines – or turn your attention to the ranges from other manufacturers.

Bosch has equipped the Serie 6 with a variety of features designed to prevent everything from water-related disasters to unwanted engineer call-outs. ActiveWater™: reduces water consumption and costs thanks to the sensor-controlled, stepless automatic load adjustment system. For added convenience, this Bosch machine even features a self-cleaning detergent drawer. With smooth sides and jet sprays in each corner, the WAU28T64GB will automatically flush the detergent chambers, preventing any build-up. It’s highly rated online and users confirm the effectiveness of the EcoSilence drive motor with much praise for how quiet it is in operation. Plus, with plenty of wash programmes, including a special allergy setting and multiple fast wash options, it has a lot to offer for a mid-range machine.

It’s a budget friendly washing machine that still offers plenty of the great features and technology seen in some of the pricier models. And despite the wallet friendly price tag, there’s no reduction in spin speed compared to other Bosch washing machines on this list. Bosch washing machines with AutoStain systems individually targets the most common stains, from grass to red wine. It automatically adjusts the water temperature, soak time and drum movements to easily remove even those marks you thought you'd never get out. In addition to its great range of programmes, the WAU28T64GB has several smart features to improve performance. It is a pity that the machine falls down a little on repairability with a sealed drum unit and door – this means you’ll need to buy whole new units if just one component part of either breaks. If this model had a splittable tank, door and so forth, it’d be set to last for many, many years with the occasional repair and part replacement. Nowadays, however, there are few if any machines on the market which are fully repairable, so we can’t be too hard on Bosch in this regard. The level of noise in your house can often make or break your day. Especially when you want to have dinner in peace and quiet with your family. Bosch’s EcoSilence Drive is so quiet, that sometimes you may forget that your washing machine is on. Equipped with a brushless, energy-efficient motor that optimally reduces friction noise and is quiet in operation with an especially long life – Bosch offers 10 years EcoSilence Drive motor warranty.* More information available here: https://bit.ly/2T6xLUCWhen time matters, washing machines with SpeedPerfect cut the washing time by up to 65%* without compromising results. SpeedPerfect can be used in combination with most programmes, and with all load sizes and fabric types. For example, select the Mix Programme along with SpeedPerfect, and you can thoroughly wash up to 4 kilograms of mixed laundry in just 46 minutes." In addition to the standard set of Serie 6 features, such as Bosch’s handy, time-reducing SpeedPerfect mode and the upgraded drum design, dubbed VarioDrum, the big addition here is the AntiStain technology. This allows you to target four different stain types – oil, red wine, blood or grass. You select one stain type per programme and, according to Bosch, these modes supplement the standard modes by adjusting water temperature, drum movement and soaking times to maximise stain removal.
