What we like about Bauknecht WM style 824 Zen

  • A 48 dB wash keeps the noise down while the machine runs.
  • A 66 dB spin keeps the last part of the cycle calm.
  • The AquaStop system protects against leaks.
  • Its 98 kWh and 8500 L a year keep energy and water use low.
  • A Baby Care cycle suits delicate baby clothes.
  • The memory function saves your favourite settings.

What we don't like about Bauknecht WM style 824 Zen

  • The eco cycle takes 240 min, so low energy use means a long wait.
  • At 72 kg it is very heavy to move.
  • The 61 cm depth takes up floor space in a narrow kitchen.
  • No anti-crease function, so shirts can crease if they wait in the drum.

Verdict

A flat with thin walls is where the Bauknecht WM style 824 Zen, a budget machine, earns its place, since neighbours can hear every spin. The wash runs at 48 dB and the spin at 66 dB, which keeps the noise down in a shared home. It holds 8 kg, has an AquaStop system against leaks, and it uses 98 kWh and 8500 L a year. Energy saving mode, a memory function and a display make everyday use simple. The eco cycle takes 240 min, so low energy use means a long wait, and the fastest wash still runs 30 min. The 61 cm depth is worth checking in a narrow kitchen. It suits someone on a tight budget who wants a quiet, low-use machine and does not mind a slow cycle.
