Third-party reviews

What we like about Bosch WGG244ZCGB

  • The spin is quiet at 71 dB.
  • The 84.5 cm height suits kitchens with less room.
  • Jeans and wool cycles suit denim and knitwear.
  • Water+ and soak functions help with heavy marks.
  • An interior light lets you see the drum without opening the door.
  • Delay start can be set up to 24 h ahead.

What we don't like about Bosch WGG244ZCGB

  • At 72.5 kg it is hard to move alone.
  • Ten programs leave less room for unusual fabrics.
  • There is no AquaStop, so a leak is not stopped automatically.
  • Spin-drying efficiency is class B, so clothes leave a little damp.
  • Each cycle uses 50 L of water.

Verdict

The spin is quiet at 71 dB, and that is the first reason to look at the Bosch WGG244ZCGB. The 9 kg capacity and 65 L drum suit everyday loads, and the 84.5 cm height suits kitchens with less room. Jeans and wool cycles are handy for denim and knitwear, and the Water+ and soak functions help with heavy marks. An interior light lets you check the drum without opening the door. The trade-offs are weight and choice. At 72.5 kg it is hard to move alone, and 10 programs leave less room for unusual fabrics. There is no AquaStop, so a leak is not stopped automatically. It suits someone who runs laundry in the evening, wants a calm spin and can work with a short list of cycles.
