Bosch WAU28R90GB Serie 6 Freestanding Washing Machine with Home Connect, SpeedPerfect & AntiStain, 9kg load, 1400 rpm spin, White [Energy Class C]
AntiStain
Removes the four most common stains
No two stains are the same. Selecting the right washing programme for each can be quite confusing and result in less than perfect cleaning results. Bosch washing machines with the AntiStain option help you to confidently remove the most common stains, every time. The AntiStain System can easily remove 4 of the most stubborn stains (Red Wine, Oil, Grass, Blood). The washing machine automatically adjusts the temperature, drum movement and soaking time to meet the demands of the relevant stains before your chosen programme starts.
DrumClean Reminder
Clean and maintain your drum simply, no special detergent necessary
After 20 cycles operating under 40℃, your washing machine will automatically remind you to clean the drum using the ‘DrumClean’ program. Ensuring your clothes are properly cleaned to perfection.
Sportswear
For washing sweaty sports clothes thoroughly.
Since these fabrics are generally sweaty but not heavily soiled, only short wash and rinse cycles are necessary, which is reflected in the short programme times. To prevent creases from forming in sports clothes which are predominantly made of synthetic fibres, the temperature of the clothes is lowered by adding water before the spin cycle. It is particularly well suited to microfibers and synthetic fabrics which are only slightly soiled.

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
The most impressive part of this is that you can cut down the wash time by half with the Speed Perfect button and that it’s very serious when it comes to spinning. The clothes come out really quite dry before you hang them to dry.. so that’s a good start to completing the task! I kind of wish I’d bought the 8kg but the 7kg should be enough to cope with just the two of us.
We had a 8kg drum similar Bosch machine which packed up after about 10 years use which for a large household and daily use was quiet good. So went for Bosch again to a slightly bigger drum. In retrospect might have gone for a even bigger drum but I think this it is a hard one to decide and perfectly happy witht he 9kg size. It has delivered to my expectation as most Bosch products do. It is a bit more quieter. I have made sure it is levelled correctly which I am sure help the component last longer. Have also have a sound absorbing matt underneath. Great product at a competitive price poi

Great value for money as Bosch always seems to be!
It’s so silent.it looks like it’s not raining.Easy to use.Thanks
Fantastic washing machine, very quiet and lots of different cycles. Good size. Very impressed as a good price for a Bosch too. Would recommend
Easy to use, easy to install, larger drum means less washes
Replacing our old Bosch washing machine with this one. Does a good job and much quieter than the old one. Plenty of great features.
I cleaned the filter. I cleaned it again. And again. Because my machine said it’s E-36.
Today I had unplugged the drainage pipe construction, and here is what it looks like (see the pictures)
Obviously, I got to learn the science of properly installing these machines by myself. I am a good school and college teacher, I enjoy gardening, I can do so many things with my hands. I really expected those Bosch guys being able to do their job so, that I shouldn’t be needed to do it all over again after them.
All and all I do recommend the machine itself, but don’t trust the installation.

very satisfied with my washing machine, superb selection of washing programs , great looking, very easy to use.
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!

Great machine loads of programs for all different cycles, only problem we had was removing the packaging bolts.
Positive features:
LOTS of useful and customisable washing programs
Washes extremely well – even using PODS, you get a proper wash with lots of foaming. Gives you the confidence that your clothes are getting clean
Good size drum and takes a big weighted load
Good spin speed – clothes don’t come out wringing wet
Instant open after wash end – no delay before the lock is released
Easy to use
Negatives:
Easy to accidentally brush against the control panel which is very sensitive so you can find yourself pausing the wash etc.
The door doesn’t have a “clip” type opener – i.e. pull that to open the clasp. Instead you just have to pull on the door. It required a bit more force than I initially thought (on my machine) so I was a bit nervous that I might break it. It’s been fine though (so far)
The door trim has a plastic finish and isn’t stainless steel. Not a biggy but a shame because it would have looked to be the quality that it is if it had.
The door itself isn’t glass but a plastic. Unfortunately, my dogs claws scratched the front in the first week!
In summary, I don’t think you can beat the washing and features of this machine for the price but if you’re able, take a look at a more expensive model for a better door.

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
At first I panicked with how technical it is but it’s quite easy to figure out.
Good bits:
Looks nice and very quiet spin.
Clothes smell cleaner than with my old beko.
Not so good bits:
The spin cycle, even on the highest spin, I’m finding I’m having to do an extra spin as the clothes are still quite wet.
The washer beeps quite loudly once it’s finished a cycle 3 loud beeps, then another 3 loud beeps, then another 3 loud beeps. I thought this would annoy me too much but I’m used to it now so it’s fine.
If you stand too close to the electric panel, it pauses the cycle but again that’s more annoying than bad.
I haven’t tried all the different cycles yet as most of them are quite long but overall I’m happy with it so far.

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 .
This is maybe not the most sleek looking washing machine but it does deliver performance exactly as described. It is very quiet and cleans clothes. Can’t ask any more in my eyes. I would highly recommend.
Does the job as you would expect, great results, lots of program options but straightforward to use.
Great machine . Easy to use. Fits in loads of washing as it’s a bigger drum than my last machine. Quiet . Love the drum clean function as I’m a hygiene freak!
The thing that lets the machine down is that the instruction book is far to complicated to follow needs simplifying for ease of use.
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 !
Bought this as a housewarming present for my sister-in-law. She loves Bosch products and is delighted with this
This is the best machine I have ever had, it’s quiet and washed so well. The timer function is so handy.
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.
I chose this machine as it is a Which recommended buy and it hasn’t disappointed. Great machine. I would strongly recommend
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
Easy to use and does it’s job. Love the drum clean option particularly after my children did some tiedye shirts.
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.
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 like the flexibility of the programmes which you can adjust, temperature and spin speed
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 .
A VERY sensitive control panel – if you lean on it/knock it/ child touches it then the cleaning starts all over again!
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.
Not sure why they ask us to rate flavour but washing machine is silent, reliable and so much better than any of the cheaper models we have had before.
Good value, nice and quiet..
Only improvement needed for me is start press button..
Otherwise all good
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.
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.
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
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……
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.
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.
Love it. Arrived in great shape. The best part was the service of taking my old machine from first floor and carrying the new machine to first floor. All went smoothly
Used for washing clothes, very pleased with the programmes & the timings, adjusted how I use the programmes to suit my laundry.
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

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.
