Third-party reviews

What customers like about Bosch WNG254R1GB

  • The 10.5 kg wash drum handles big loads in one go.
  • Spin noise is rated at 70 dB, which is quiet for a machine this size.
  • The 1400 rpm spin gets most of the water out before drying.
  • The motor carries a 10 year warranty.
  • A combined cycle can finish in as little as 45 min.
  • Automatic dosing takes the measuring out of each wash.

What customers don't like about Bosch WNG254R1GB

  • Each wash uses 52 L of water.
  • The longest wash runs 239 min, almost four hours.
  • At 79.3 kg it is heavy to move, so it stays put once installed.
  • Only one drying program is available, so drying choices are narrow.
  • The dryer takes 6 kg, well below the 10.5 kg wash, so bigger loads need splitting.

Verdict

The Bosch WNG254R1GB suits a busy household that washes large loads and wants a quiet spin. It takes up to 10.5 kg of washing and dries up to 6 kg, and the spin is rated at 70 dB. The 1400 rpm spin gets most of the water out before the drying starts. A steam function and a prewash help with stubborn marks before the main wash. The trade-off is water and time: a wash uses 52 L, and the longest wash can run 239 min. The machine weighs 79.3 kg, so it stays where you put it, and there is only one drying program. A 10 year motor warranty and 612 kWh a year for wash and dry make it a sensible long-term buy for a large family.
