Third-party reviews

What customers like about Bosch WNC254A40

  • A 10.5 kg wash load handles big family loads.
  • The 65 L drum leaves room for bulky items.
  • The spin is quiet at 70 dB.
  • Auto dosing takes the guesswork out of detergent.
  • AquaStop protects against hose leaks.
  • The motor has a 10 year warranty.

What customers don't like about Bosch WNC254A40

  • At 85.3 kg it is very heavy to move.
  • At 62.2 cm deep it takes up a lot of floor space.
  • The longest wash cycle is 240 min.
  • Combined drying uses 305 kWh per 100 cycles and gets a D class.
  • Each wash uses 50 L of water, and a combined cycle uses 75 L.

Verdict

A family with a lot of washing and little room for two machines will find the Bosch WNC254A40 a sensible fit. It takes 10.5 kg of washing and dries 6 kg, with a 65 L drum. The spin is quiet at 70 dB, which helps in a shared home. Auto dosing measures the detergent for you, which saves guesswork. AquaStop protects against hose leaks, and the motor carries a 10 year warranty. The downsides are size and time. At 85.3 kg and 62.2 cm deep it is heavy and bulky, and the longest wash cycle is 240 min. Combined cycles use 75 L of water and 305 kWh per 100 cycles, which adds up if you dry every load. It suits a busy household that washes big loads and can make room for it.
