Bosch WAN28281GB Serie 4 Freestanding Washing Machine 8kg/1400spin

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.

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.

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

This is a very quiet machine in operation. It has quite a wide range of cycles but it is advisable to study the program parameters if you like to adjust things for yourself, because options are not as wide as you might think from the advertisements. This model has the higher spin speed of 1400 rpm BUT this is only available in certain programs, as are the temperature variations & the maximum loads. Yes, this can prevent unintended results but it obviates personal needs & preferences. Some cycles seem ridiculously long for their purpose: the standard cottons program taking 3 hours. The manual does NOT give program times or even ranges, which is a rather a sly move on the part of Bosch. One rather irritating, if minor, point is the inability of the window seal to drain completely, leaving about a tablespoon of water sitting in the bottom. Bosch warn users to dry this &, for long life of the seal, that will be essential.

My old washer I had to retire or should I say it stopped working on Tuesday, after 13yrs of faithful service I now have an all singing and dancing new Bosch washer arrived today Friday it looks good easy to use though I have only used it a couple of times does as its told and more it even has a night time setting! well worth the money and for a few more pounds they will install and take away your old one and the packaging well impressed with the service from this company thankyou for your speed of delivery and the delivery people were very courteous and considerate x

I’ve only just received this product and used it a few times but even on the quick wash the stains are removed, the clothes smell fresh and clean and it’s very easy to use. And it is sooooo quiet!! I had a Hotpoint previously which was very noisy in comparison.Also the duo who delivered and installed it were fabulous! They went above and beyond and were very kind and helpful!

Ive had the product just over 2 years so 1 month outside warranty period. Went to close door today and the silver frame around the door fell off and cracked. Bosch isn`t then company it used to be.

The series 4 was valuable for small budget. Overall performance was excellent and quiet. It has multiple washing features for different clothes or materials. I highly recommend it for 2 or 3 people family.
