What we like about Bosch WUU28T70

  • Spin noise of 69 dB and washing noise of 48 dB keep it quiet in use.
  • Automatic dosing takes care of the detergent for every load.
  • The soak function helps loosen stains before the main wash.
  • A 63 L drum gives an 8 kg load plenty of room to move.
  • The transparent door lets you check the wash without opening it.
  • Energy saving mode and a time remaining indicator help you plan the day.

What we don't like about Bosch WUU28T70

  • At 70.5 kg it is hard to shift, especially for cleaning behind it.
  • It uses 54 kWh per 100 cycles, which is a lot of power.
  • There is no Wi-Fi, so it cannot be run from a phone.
  • The 1200 RPM spin leaves clothes damper than a faster spin.

Verdict

Quiet running is what sets the Bosch WUU28T70 apart. It spins at 69 dB and washes at 48 dB, so it is easy to live with in a flat or open-plan kitchen. The 63 L drum takes an 8 kg load with room to spare, and the transparent door lets you watch the wash. Automatic dosing takes the guesswork out of detergent, and the soak function helps with stains before the main wash. Shirt, wool and hygiene cycles sit alongside the usual cottons. The trade-off is weight and power use: at 70.5 kg it is hard to move, and it uses 54 kWh per 100 cycles. It suits a buyer who wants a calm machine for a flat or bedroom laundry and is fine lifting a heavy one.
