Third-party reviews

What we like about Bosch WGG142Z0IT Serie 6

  • Iron Assist cuts creases by up to 50 %, so less ironing is needed.
  • Steam technology is built in.
  • The anti-stain system is aimed at grease, oil and red wine.
  • The 9 kg drum takes a large family's washing in one go.
  • The spin runs at 71 dB, so it is quiet at the end of a cycle.
  • Energy class A with 49 kWh per 100 cycles keeps running costs down.

What we don't like about Bosch WGG142Z0IT Serie 6

  • There is no Wi-Fi, so the machine cannot be controlled from a phone.
  • There is no pre-wash cycle for dirtier loads.
  • It needs enough room to install.
  • Each cycle uses 50 L of water, which adds up on a water meter.

Verdict

The Bosch WGG142Z0IT Serie 6, with a 9 kg capacity, stands out for its excellent energy efficiency, rated A with a consumption of 49 kWh per 100 cycles. This washing machine features the EcoSilence Driveâ„¢ inverter motor, which is quiet and backed by a 10-year spare parts guarantee, contributing to a low noise level of 71 dB during spinning. Premium features include the AquaStop system, Iron Assist steam technology to reduce creases by up to 50%, and an anti-vibration design with reinforced side walls. Drawbacks include a limited spin speed of 1200 rpm, high water consumption of 50 litres per cycle, and only 14 washing programs. The machine lacks modern functionalities such as prewash, load balancing system, auto-diagnosis, and settings memory. The Bosch WGG142Z0IT Serie 6 is an excellent choice for those seeking energy efficiency and quietness, though its program and feature offerings are quite basic by current standards.
