What we like about Bosch WUU28T40 Serie 6

  • Washing at 45 dB is quiet enough for night runs.
  • The spin at 69 dB keeps the noise down.
  • AquaStop cuts the water if a hose leaks.
  • Six spin speeds up to 1400 RPM give fine control.
  • The 8 kg drum takes a family load.
  • The ECO indicator helps you pick a more energy-saving cycle.

What we don't like about Bosch WUU28T40 Serie 6

  • 62 kWh per 100 cycles means higher running costs.
  • At 72.5 kg it is hard to move.
  • The large body needs more floor space than a compact machine.
  • There is no Wi-Fi, so a wash cannot be started from a phone.
  • There is no steam function for freshening clothes.

Verdict

The Bosch WUU28T40 Serie 6 is an 8 kg washing machine that excels in noise reduction, operating at just 45 dB during washing and 69 dB during spinning. The machine features six spin speed settings from 400 to 1400 RPM and includes a spacious 63-liter drum. Its anti-vibration design with specialized side walls enhances stability during operation, while the wide 171-degree door opening makes loading and unloading easier. The machine includes useful features like AquaStop protection and an ECO indicator that displays energy consumption for each program. A quick wash function and dedicated shirt cycle add convenience to its functionality. The machine also completes its ECO cycle in 214 minutes. However, it comes with some limitations: it lacks steam technology, anti-stain functionality, and a hygiene cycle. The machine's C energy efficiency rating corresponds to a higher energy consumption of 62 kWh per 100 cycles, and it has a notably larger depth of 59.9 cm compared to standard models.
