    Verdict

    Bosch WDU8H540IT Serie 6 handles 10 kg washing and 6 kg drying with 15 washing programs and 5 drying options. The EcoSilence Drive motor runs exceptionally quiet at 45 dB during washing and 70 dB spinning, featuring ActiveWater Plus technology that uses just 41 L per wash cycle. Smart connectivity includes Wi-Fi, voice control, and Home Connect app with consumption statistics and smart diagnosis. The AutoDry sensors prevent over-drying while Steam and Iron Assist functions reduce wrinkles. Quick Wash & Dry 60 completes light loads in one hour. Major drawbacks include high energy consumption at 67 kWh per 100 wash cycles and 364 kWh for combined cycles, plus an E-class combined energy rating. The unit weighs 84.9 kg, lacks anti-stain function, automatic dosing, and has only 4 downloadable programs compared to competitors.
