    Verdict

    The Bosch WAJ24068II Serie 2 is an 8 kg washing machine with a C energy rating and quiet operation at 72 dB during spinning and 52 dB during washing, earning an A-class noise rating. Its SpeedPerfect function can reduce washing time by up to 65% while maintaining cleaning quality, with the ability to wash 4 kg of mixed laundry in 46 minutes. The machine features five spin speed options up to 1200 RPM and includes an anti-vibration design for stable operation. While the ECO cycle completes in 206 minutes, the machine has some limitations. It comes with 11 basic programs including Cotton, Eco 40-60, Wool/Hand Wash, Gentle/Silk, Mixed Load, and a Quick 15/30 minute wash, but lacks steam technology, extra rinse functionality, and an anti-stain cycle. The manufacturer does not mention any special drum design for fabric protection. The maximum spin speed of 1200 RPM falls below standard, and temperature options are limited to four settings from 30° to 90°C.
