Grades: Each review's own score is converted to 1–10; without one, we grade the review ourselves.
Weighting: Big test sites count more, short reviews half as much as full tests. A video review counts half.
Share: Too few models in this category have enough reviews yet, so reviews are shown but do not count in the overall score.

What we like about Bosch WAN28255GB

  • Fifteen programs give plenty of choice for different fabrics.
  • The fastest cycle takes 15 min.
  • A 9 kg drum takes a large load of everyday laundry.
  • Steam and a soak function help with stubborn marks.
  • The Night/Silent option keeps noise down for late washes.
  • A delay start of up to 24 h lets you wash at a set time.

What we don't like about Bosch WAN28255GB

  • The spin is loud at 72 dB.
  • It weighs 66.3 kg, which makes it hard to move alone.
  • The eco cycle takes 217 min.
  • There is no AquaStop to stop a leak automatically.
  • Spin-drying efficiency is class B, so clothes leave a little damper.

Verdict

Fifteen programs and a 9 kg drum make the Bosch WAN28255GB a flexible everyday washer. The fastest cycle takes 15 min, while the eco cycle runs for 217 min, so you choose between speed and savings. The Night/Silent option keeps noise down for late washes, and a delay start can wait up to 24 h. Steam and a soak function help with stubborn marks, and the anti-crease function keeps shirts looking neat. A display shows the settings, and pause and add lets you slip in a forgotten sock. The trade-offs are real. The spin is loud at 72 dB, and it weighs 66.3 kg, so it is hard to move alone. There is no AquaStop, so a leak is not stopped automatically. It suits a household that wants many programs and quiet overnight runs.
