What we don't like about Bosch WGG14201FR Serie 6

  • At 72.6 kg it is hard to move.
  • The Eco 40-60 cycle took about 3 hours 48 minutes in tests.
  • Spin drying is only class B, which is not a standout.
  • There is no Wi-Fi, so it cannot be controlled from a phone.

Verdict

The Bosch WGG14201FR Series 6 is an A class washing machine with excellent energy performance, consuming 46 kWh per 100 cycles. The EcoSilence Drive™ motor comes with a 10-year spare parts warranty and operates quietly at 71 dB during spinning. The anti-vibration design of the side panels enhances stability, while the VarioDrum with a wave-like surface provides effective and gentle cleaning. The SpeedPerfect function reduces washing times by up to 65%, with mixed loads of 4 kg completed in just 46 minutes. AquaStop protection is included. Significant drawbacks include only 14 programs, the lack of steam technology, a load balancing system, and self-diagnosis. The spin speed reaches only 1200 RPM, and it is not possible to save favourite settings. The high price does not fully justify the functional limitations of this washing machine.
