How we count it
Grades: Each review's own score is converted to 1–10; without one, we grade the review ourselves.
Weighting: Big test sites count more, short reviews half as much as full tests. A video review counts half.
Share: Too few models in this category have enough reviews yet, so reviews are shown but do not count in the overall score.

What we like about Bosch WAV28GA9II HomeProfessional

  • 18 washing programs give a setting for most fabrics.
  • The wash runs at 49 dB, so it stays quiet while you are in another room.
  • Wi-Fi lets you follow the cycle from a phone.
  • AquaStop protection guards against leaks.
  • A 65 L drum takes big loads in one go.
  • The class A energy rating keeps yearly energy costs low.

What we don't like about Bosch WAV28GA9II HomeProfessional

  • At 72.6 kg it is hard to move.
  • There is no automatic dosing, so detergent is measured by hand.
  • It has no steam technology for refreshing clothes.
  • Spin-drying efficiency is class B, so clothes leave the drum a little damp.

Verdict

Representing Bosch's flagship HomeProfessional tier, the WAV28GA9II front-loading washing machine pairs a substantial 9 kg capacity inside an expansive 65-litre drum with a 1400 RPM spin mechanism. Its frictionless EcoSilence Drive inverter motor operates with remarkable acoustic refinement, generating only 49 dB during washing and an exceptionally quiet 70 dB at maximum spin, earning an A-grade noise classification. The machine attains top-bracket Class A energy efficiency and features the automated AntiStain Plus system, which reliably removes sixteen distinct stubborn stains without preliminary soaking. Further practical strengths include SpeedPerfect for shortening cycle durations, ActiveWater Plus load-sensing technology, an illuminated drum interior, and a high-resolution TFT display. On the other hand, it does not incorporate steam refresh cycles, omits automatic detergent dosing, and requires standard 59 cm installation depth.
