Third-party reviews

What we like about Bosch WGG244F1FR

  • Spin at 71 dB is easy to live with in a busy home.
  • The 9 kg capacity takes big loads, such as duvets, in one go.
  • Automatic dosing measures out the detergent for you.
  • At 84.5 cm high it suits a standard kitchen gap.
  • Outdoor/Sport and gentle cycles cover sportswear and delicate fabrics.
  • Anti-stain and anti-crease functions help with marks and creases.

What we don't like about Bosch WGG244F1FR

  • At 72.5 kg it is hard to move for cleaning behind it.
  • At 63.2 cm deep it needs a generous gap.
  • 50 L of water per cycle is a lot if you wash every day.
  • The eco cycle takes 228 min, which is long for a weekday wash.
  • There is no Wi-Fi, so a wash cannot be started or checked from your phone.
  • There is no AquaStop system to protect against a leaking hose.

Verdict

Nine kilograms of laundry and a quiet spin are the reasons to look at the Bosch WGG244F1FR. At 71 dB on spin it is easy to live with in a busy home, and at 84.5 cm high it fits a standard kitchen gap. The automatic dosing system measures out the detergent for you, so there is one less thing to guess at each wash. The 9 kg drum takes a big duvet or a week of family washing, though each cycle uses 50 L of water. The eco wash is slow at 228 min, and there is no Wi-Fi or AquaStop leak protection. The 72.5 kg weight and 63.2 cm depth are the real trade-offs. It suits a family with big loads and room for a heavy, deep machine.
