    The first number in the "Best rankings" table above indicates the product's rank among all products in our database, while the second number (in brackets) represents its rank among available products only. | The "average product" rating mentioned below reflects the median values calculated across all attributes for products within this category.

    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 Drive™ 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.
