  • Energy use is 62 kWh per 100 cycles, class C.
  • Only 4 temperature settings limit the choice.
  • At 75.2 kg it is heavy to move.
  • The door opens to 130 degrees, so loading needs care.
  • There is no anti-stain function and no steam option.

Verdict

The built-in Bosch WIW28502GB Serie 8 is an 8 kg washing machine with 1400 RPM spin speed and C energy rating. This model stands out for its exceptionally quiet operation at 66 dB during spinning and 41 dB during washing, earning an A-class noise rating. The machine has advanced features like SpeedPerfect, which reduces wash time by up to 65% while maintaining quality, and specialized programs for jeans, shirts, and duvets. It includes comprehensive safety features such as AquaStop and HydroSafe valve protection, along with practical additions like an interior light and AntiVibration design. The automatic load balancing system enhances performance, while the Water+ feature and night program add flexibility. The machine uses 45 L of water per cycle and includes 12 advanced features including foam control and anti-crease functions. On the downside, it consumes 62 kWh per 100 cycles and lacks steam technology, anti-stain functionality, hygiene cycle, and allergen program. The door opening is limited to 130 degrees, and temperature options are restricted to four settings.
