Third-party reviews

What we like about Bosch WAN2827UFR

  • 46 kWh per 100 cycles keeps running costs low.
  • An 8 kg drum takes a big family load.
  • At 84.5 cm high it fits a standard kitchen gap.
  • Steam adds a freshening option between full washes.
  • A 15 min fast cycle handles a quick top-up.
  • A delay start of up to 24 h fits the wash around your day.

What we don't like about Bosch WAN2827UFR

  • At 63.3 cm deep it needs a generous gap.
  • At 66.5 kg it is hard to move for cleaning behind it.
  • Spin at 72 dB is clearly audible from the next room.
  • The 213 min eco cycle is slow for a full load.
  • Each cycle uses 47 L of water, which adds up over a busy week.

Verdict

Energy use is what stands out on the Bosch WAN2827UFR, an 8 kg washing machine for families who run a lot of loads. Every 100 cycles use 46 kWh, which keeps running costs low. The 1400 RPM spin leaves clothes fairly damp, and the anti-vibration design keeps the machine steady at full speed. Steam adds a freshening option for clothes that need more than a normal wash. The shirt cycle and anti-crease option cut down on ironing. The 15 min fast wash is handy for a quick top-up. The trade-offs are size and noise: at 63.3 cm deep it needs room, weighs 66.5 kg, and spin is 72 dB, so you will hear it in the next room. It suits a family that wants a big, economical machine and does not mind the bulk.
