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.

Verdict

The Bosch WGE03200IT Serie 2 is an 8 kg washing machine that excels in energy savings with its A rating and a consumption of only 46 kWh per 100 cycles. The EcoSilence Drive™ inverter motor provides notable quietness at 71 dB during spinning and 52 dB during washing, and it comes with a 10-year spare parts guarantee. The drum has a generous 65 L volume, and the SpeedPerfect function reduces washing times by up to 65%. The anti-vibration design enhances overall stability. The machine has several limitations: only 11 washing programs, four temperature settings, a maximum spin speed of 1200 rpm, and just seven advanced functions. It lacks modern features such as steam technology, self-cleaning, cold wash, and extra rinse. The Bosch WGE03200IT Serie 2 is a good choice for those seeking energy efficiency and quietness, although its functionalities are basic by 2024 standards.
