What we like about Bosch WAN2827ZFR

  • A height of 84.5 cm suits tight spaces under a worktop.
  • The spin can start from 0 RPM for delicate items.
  • Wi-Fi lets you run it from a phone.
  • Water+ is an uncommon function.
  • Anti-vibration and special drum designs keep it steady.
  • Foam control and a laundry detection system are built in.

What we don't like about Bosch WAN2827ZFR

  • There is no AquaStop, so a leaking hose is not stopped by the machine.
  • Spin drying is class B, so clothes come out a little damp.
  • A 9 kg capacity is small for a family of four.
  • The noise rating is class B, so it is less quiet than the top class.

Verdict

For a kitchen where the space under the worktop is tight, the Bosch WAN2827ZFR is worth a look. Its height of 84.5 cm makes it easy to fit, and the 9 kg, 65 L drum suits a couple or a small family. It can spin from 0 RPM, so the drum can turn very slowly with delicate items. Wi-Fi lets you run it from a phone, and Water+ is an uncommon function. Anti-vibration design and a special drum design keep the machine steady. A laundry detection system and foam control are built in. The weak spot is spin drying, rated B, so clothes come out a little damper than with the top class. It suits a careful buyer who wants a premium machine for a small household and likes to control it from a phone.
