It seems to be as advertised, but what was very disappointing is that there was no installation included, and no option available neighter to pay for it. So I had to call a plumber a pay other money on top of 350 so this washing machine costed me over 400.
The item is new , but cannot tell if is working well. I wilk have to wait for the plumber to install it. They should add an optional installation to make life easier to single women like me.
This machine delivered as advertised.
The machine was was very easy to install
This machine has a very quiet spin cycle and loads of different wash cycle.
The programmes are a puzzle as you can’t seem to change the temperature or duration. One for example says 40 to 60 degrees so which is it? We tend to use 1 hour at 40 a lot, changes to 46 mins when you press “speed perfect” if it’s not full. Washing comes out clean, almost dry. Best feature is the quiet motor, you can hardly hear it working!
Best machine ever at least so far! The delivery team were brilliant, massive thank you to the team from Inverness.
Just bought my first home and treated myself to a nice washer. Really quiet and easy to install and use. Lots of functions and looks tidy
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.

Have been using this for over a month now and it is an excellent washing machine with lots of useful features. Very quiet when washing or on spin cycle. Built to usual Bosch standards and washing results are brilliant. Would thoroughly recommend.
pleased from the start. love that you can stop it and open to add a forgotten item. the tub is larger than our older model, making it easier for bedding. a good range of dial options for different clothes, as well as the option to change the temperature setting. I do feel the economy is not always practical as it suspends the washing; alright if not in a hurry. as it stands, i am happy with the item, even though it does not have half load.
Turned up on time /day stated old machine taken away along with the packaging from the new one . Up and running within the hour great machine good price can’t fault it but time will tell
Easy to get via Amazon with quick delivery, and spread payments
Machine is quiet and easy to use
Delivered on time guys unpack for me took rubbish away had to get right size 13mm socket spanner very tight but easy to install after that wife still waiting use it .
Simple to use and great wash. Great value for money. Checked review on Which online before I bought – Best Buy. So far nothing to dislike!
My last Bosch machine is still going after 16 years. Good make, this has more options and faster wash times. Even on 30 degree 30 minute wash my clothes are clean and not as tangled and the old one. Very pleased with it.
The thing that lets the machine down is that the instruction book is far to complicated to follow needs simplifying for ease of use.
Easy to install very reasonable price
and came very quickly .
It’s a Bosch. What more do you need to know. Excellent machine.
Very pleased with this machine, The washing times are longer than of previous owned ones.
The results are far cleaner clothes, whites particularly so,
The machine runs very quiet.
Highly Recomended.
Brilliant piece of equipment !!!! Love that the buttons work with just a light touch !
This is the best machine I have ever had, it’s quiet and washed so well. The timer function is so handy.
Bought this as a housewarming present for my sister-in-law. She loves Bosch products and is delighted with this
This is a solidly made machine, very quiet,and does not wander around during the spin cycle. Not a 10 year guarantee, but 2years, but you can purchase extensions to it. Happy so far.
It is a good washing machine, good value for money
This is an excellent machine. my wife says. “Best washing machine I have every had”.. Very versatile, adjustable spin in any programme, 4 Kg. mixed 59 min wash exellent, very quiet, able to stop and add items after starting the wash. Cannot praise it enough.
ever had a bosch washer before but read lots of reviews from different websites. have to admit im loving it. its so quiet and does a real good job with my clothes its pleasure to do the washing now
the delivery men were so polite and unwrapped for me and took all the rubbish away asked if i was ok getting it fixed in place. they were a credit to amazo

Love this! Did some research into quiet appliances. This IS! I can hardly hear it at times. When spinning, it’s quieter than my dishwasher. The control panel is a bit too touch sensitive if you lean on it, or brush past it with clothes that make contact, but other than that I’m impressed. At first glance, when selecting some wash programs they appear excessively long, but if you select Speed Perfect function, then most of them halve in time. The 30 C quick wash is quick at 30 minutes and covers most day to day washing.
I had to look to make sure the washing machine was working as it was so quiet. The clothes are perfectly washed and in a reasonable lenth of time. I would like to add the delivery persons did an excelent job, as I requested placed in the room I wanted having taken away the packaging. Most polite and efficient.
This washing machine is the best. The only thing I don’t like is the press on switch. Other than that I would recommend to buy.
Very pleased purchased to replace old machine the delivery guys really good plumbing in new one and taking away old one so easy thanks.
I am astounded at how quiet the machine is and delighted with how well it actually washes all my whites are now white.
Very happy, next day delivery, much quieter than my old one, easy to install
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.
It’s the best washing machine I’ve ever owned. Silent. I-Dos is amazing and the Home Connect features really tops it all off.
I am a bloke but have taken over the domestic chores.I can’t believe I am reviewing a washing machine but it is bloody excellent!I would sound like a TV ad if I could explain why but it really is just very good.The controls are clear and after 10minutes of reading the instructions I was able to master them and take control of my washing. I use a lot less washing liquid and the results are better than my previous 3 yr old Bosch.EDIT 1 YEAR LATER:Still a fantastic machine but please read the load weight maximums for each setting.Occasional poor wash caused by overloading the machine for a particular setting.Most embarrassed to have this pointed out by my “told you so” wife!
This Bosch washing is so quite I need to check its still working during the wash, Its a solidly built unit that does not go walking.
This is the best washing machine I have had so far and the 9kg drum means I can even wash my large duvets.
Great machine.
I brought the Bosch WAN28281GB Serie 4 Freestanding Washing Machine for my Mum,and she loves it.My mum is very happy,so the machine is worth it.
I like the flexibility of the programmes which you can adjust, temperature and spin speed
Delivered quickly, nice helpful Man who installed the washer for us and took away all the packaging and the old machine. Left me all the info on how to use the machine, although at 72 I did find the instuctions a bit hard to take in as there was a lot of pages to read. Washer looks nice and has a lot of useful settings
Very happy with my new machine and especially with the delivery installation and removal of the old machine all for an extra 40 . Well worth it .

Quiet running. I expect it to last for a long time.
Had our last Bosch washing machine for 16 years so confident to buy another replacement Bosch machine
Had Bosch for many years and every new model improves on the last.
This model is great, being very quiet and efficient. Easy to use dial for programme selection.
Good value, nice and quiet..
Only improvement needed for me is start press button..
Otherwise all good
Wouldn’t normally think of Amazon for a washing machine but quickly delivered and fitted and old one taken away for recycling. Competitive prices and reliable professional service. The Bosh machine is effective and yes is very quiet compared to other washing machines. 5 stars fully recommend
Im very impressed with this tumble dryer. Almost Crease free clothes and very fast. Quiet too.
Very happy with this washing machine so quiet compare to my last one, digital display is easy to read and also the she is easy to use I would highly recommend this.
he manual is not that clear, and lacks detail
apart from that, does a great job
Love the home connect app
As with Amazon and branded products you cannot go wrong
Easy to install exceptionally quiet new so getting used to i
Quiet machine. Doesn’t use enough water for large loads . But will spin without moving and quietly.
Very pleased with machine. Using eco programme mostly. Good features includiy variable spin.
As a washing machine it works extremely well. The idos is very convenient and the easy to use settings are a doddle. Every setting is pretty much adjustable and all the adjustable settings are laid out in front of you.
The motor is super silent and the bleeper to let you know the wash has finish is needed otherwise youd never know.
Glad i paid the extra for this type of machine.
Very happy.
And im a man !!!!!!!!!
Best machine I’ve had by miles, so quiet when running and has my clothes spotless, definitely worth the extra money
Arrived and working ok, but when unpacked there was a small dent on the doo
Beautifully quiet, even on fast spin. Manual is not exactly a model of clarity.
Very quiet , easy to use and a programme for everything.
Great washing machine easy to use. Jus be careful leaning against it when reaching into your wall units as the touch control can resest to wash.
The first time we used this we thought it was faulty. It is so quiet that the water intake is louder than the machine itsself! The only time you can hear it is when it starts to spin, and even at full belt, it is nothing to worry about. Superb washing and great value for money.
HAD OUR LAST BOSCH WASHING FOR 17 YEARS, HOPE THIS ONE LAST AS LONG.
Great Bosh washing machine easy to use, very quiet when running, echo wash can take a little longer. Great delivery and recycle service
Single man its easy to use and cleans realy well
This is a washing machine that washes clothes.
It is very quiet.
Works well, the most silent machine I have ever used. Not all the program cleans well, but I have found the most suitable for me. Only problem was with it, at the time of purchase, the site didn’t let me choose the installation option, as when I clicked on it, the page didn’t let me go further, didn’t matter what date I choosed. Actually this site problem saved me 40 , as my friend came and installed it for free, hence I didn’t take out any star. I recommend the product and the seller, and there was no problem with the delivery, which we have a lot in this area.
Really quiet. A good washer. I would defo buy it agai
Works as you would expect. The only minor thing I would change if I could was to make the door a bit bigger as it’s quite small in comparison to my last machine. But only a very minor issue……
Bought this for farther and he really likes it, comments it’s so quite and easy to use.
It’s reasonably quite, washes and spins clothes well and looks as good as any other ‘white washing machine’.
The option to be able to pause the wash to put any missed items in is very good.
The normal cycles can be pretty long (2.5 – 3hours!) but there is a ‘Quick’ option which can reduce this dramatically (40-45 minutes for some programmes) – although it supposedly uses more energy (not sure how a 45minute program uses more than a 3hour…).
Well recommended.

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.
Easy to set up and use great results replaced 10 yr old machine following Asbestos contamination from house flood, will wait to set up the app waiting on new WiFi route
The delivery person waited 20 minutes for me to get back home. The machine is quite good. It’s been just a month of use hopefully it will stay the same in future.
Used for washing clothes, very pleased with the programmes & the timings, adjusted how I use the programmes to suit my laundry.
This has to be the quietest washer I have ever heard.
The W/M was delivered wihtin 4 days of placing the order and given a time slot of delivery on the day. Dlivery personel unpacked the item and made sure was in good visable condition. They took away all the packaging The W/M works as expected and plumbing in to an existing system was very easy

Excellent machine and very prompt delivery. You cannot beat Bosch technology.
Great washer so far, delivery guys were spot on. Even tells you how long is left. Love it.
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

An easy machine to operate, a lot quieter than most and washes a single item without going into orbit, very important if you work in a hospital. The light has proved a useful feature when checking that for that elusive sock. Surprisingly I found the WiFi feature quite useful in setting my own wash requirements and notification of the wash end.
Good quality and a good buy, I am very pleased I bought it.
I bought this product about 3 weeks ago and I am very happy with it .I love that there is a button to press ,which reduces the washing time .I feel that this is Important when you have a large family and need to do more than one wash in a day ,fantastic.
The most noticeable thing is how quiet this Bosch washing machine is. Personally, the noise coming from a washing machine doesn’t bother me at all, but for some I know this is an issue and I’ve never owned a quieter machine than this one. Whatever the spin speed, it doesn’t seem to get noticeably louder or violently shake as some washing machines are prone to do. There are not as many different pre-programmed washing cycles as you get with some other washing machines and some of them can take three hours to complete. You can choose shorter ones for small loads and there is a ‘Speed Perfect’ option to reduce the washing cycle duration. I’m not really ever in a hurry for my washing to be done very quickly, and given that the washing machine has good energy efficiency ratings waiting for the cycle to be finished isn’t the worst thing in the world. I’m sure that the increased length of cycle is deliberate to improve the overall efficiency.
The two things that really matter to me with washing machines are how well they clean the clothes (without damaging anything) and how long they last without becoming prone to needing to be repaired or replaced. I’m very happy with how this Bosch washing machine washes clothes and bed linen but can’t really comment on its longevity after only having it for a few weeks. I shall update this review if it breaks prematurely, but as it stands I am very happy with this washing machine and would recommend it.
