What we like about Bosch WAN28268IT Serie 4

  • An 8 kg capacity means fewer loads each week.
  • Six spin speeds give you control over how damp the clothes come out.
  • The inverter motor carries a 10-year warranty.
  • The door opens to 180 degrees, which makes loading a full drum easy.
  • The Night/Silent option makes late washes easier to live with.
  • The Fast function is handy when time is short.

What we don't like about Bosch WAN28268IT Serie 4

  • Energy class C at 63 kWh/100 cycles means higher power use.
  • The spin reaches 74 dB, which is loud at the end of the wash.
  • There is no self-cleaning function for the drum.
  • There is no Wi-Fi, so it cannot be run from a phone.
  • Detergent has to be measured by hand, since there is no automatic dosing.
