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. One thing worth mentioning, however, is that the Serie 6 won’t achieve the same level of wash performance when using the i-Dos feature – and nor will any of the Bosch machines with the feature. This is because liquid detergent does not – and can not – contain bleaching agents. If you want the whitest whites and the most powerful stain-removing performance possible, you’ll need to use washing powder and that means adding it manually before every wash. Like its predecessor, it comes with a 9kg drum which is roomy enough to suit most households and the 1400rpm spin speed should leave your laundry free of excessive moisture, making it easier to get dry. For energy efficiency it uses clever tech to weigh your load and dynamically adjust the length of wash, amount of water and energy used. Your washing machine might save you time and effort, but often at the cost of excessive water consumption. Our ActiveWater Plus technology delivers perfect results while only using as much water as needed. Built-in sensors adjust the water consumption according to the fabric type and the automatically detected load, while our patented drum and water induction systems allow for faster soaking. Choose the wash that helps you manage your water usage and delivers all-round peace of mind at home. The innovative AntiVibration design of the side walls is not only eye catching: the system also provides more stability and reduces vibration. The enhanced insulation also regulates noise levels, making Bosch washing machines very quiet, even during the spin cycle.

In addition to its great range of programmes, the WAU28T64GB has several smart features to improve performance.The Serie|6 washing machine with AntiStain, removes reliably the most common stains without ease and without pre-treatment. 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.

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. 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. SpeedPerfect is a special fuction developed for situations when time matters. With SpeedPerfect you can reduce your washing time by up to 65%* without compromising results. It can be used in combination with most of the programmes, all loads and textiles. For example, by selecting the mix programme in combination with SpeedPerfect, you can throughly wash up to 4 kilograms of mix load in just 41 minutes. (*Difference between the duration of Easy Care Programme 40°C and the duration of Easy Care Programme 40°C in combination with SpeedPerfect option.)After 20 cycles under 40Ž, your washing machine will automatically remind you to clean the drum using the 'DrumClean' program. Ensuring your clothes are properly cleaned to perfection."
