What we don't like about Bosch WIW24342EU Serie 6

  • Energy use is 62 kWh per 100 cycles, class C.
  • Only 12 programs and 4 temperature settings narrow the choice.

  • At 76.3 kg it is heavy to move.

Verdict

The Bosch WIW24342EU Serie 6, with an 8 kg capacity, is an exceptionally quiet washing machine, operating at just 41 dB during washing and 66 dB during spinning. The EcoSilence Driveâ„¢ motor, with a 10-year spare parts guarantee, delivers reliability for 20 years of use. The Wave drum distributes water evenly, and the anti-vibration design enhances operational stability. The SpeedPerfect function reduces washing times by up to 65%, with Mixed cycles for 4 kg in 46 minutes. The machine features an internal light and AquaStop system. Drawbacks include a spin speed limited to 1200 rpm and only 12 washing programs. The absence of steam technology, anti-stain cycle, extra rinse, and self-cleaning reduces versatility. The machine also lacks a cold wash option and offers only four temperature settings.
