What we like about Bauknecht B6R 88

  • 38 kWh per 100 cycles keeps the power use low.
  • 43 L of water per cycle keeps water use modest.
  • Sixteen programs cover everyday laundry with plenty of choice.
  • Steam and an anti-crease function keep clothes smoother.
  • Pause and add lets you slip in a forgotten item mid-wash.
  • AquaStop protects against leaks from the hoses.

What we don't like about Bauknecht B6R 88

  • Washing and spinning both reach 72 dB, which is loud at night.
  • There is no Wi-Fi, so it cannot be run from a phone.
  • At 70 kg it is hard to move alone.
  • At 60.7 cm deep it may not fit a shallow recess.
  • The eco cycle takes 215 min, so the economical wash is a long one.

Verdict

Eight kilograms of washing fit in the Bauknecht B6R 88, a machine for a family that runs a load most days. It uses 38 kWh per 100 cycles and 43 L of water per cycle, so it is a thrifty choice for daily use. Sixteen programs give plenty of choice for everyday clothes, and steam plus an anti-crease function keep shirts smoother. The energy saving mode, the refresh cycle and a night option for quieter running stand out. The trade-off is noise: both washing and spinning reach 72 dB, which a flat with light sleepers may notice. There is no Wi-Fi, so a wash cannot be started from your phone. It suits a busy household that wants plenty of programs and does not need an app.
