What we like about Bosch WAN28127

  • 46 kWh per 100 cycles keeps energy use low.
  • Steam technology is built in for freshening clothes.
  • The fastest cycle is 15 min for a quick load.
  • A load balancing system keeps the drum steady during spin.
  • Hygiene and Anti-Allergy cycles add extra care for sensitive households.
  • A delay start of up to 24 h lets you set a wash ahead.

What we don't like about Bosch WAN28127

  • The 72 dB spin is loud and carries through a home.
  • At 70.1 kg it is heavy to move.
  • 47 L of water goes into every cycle.
  • A 15 min cycle is too short for heavily soiled loads.

Verdict

Two reasons to look at the Bosch WAN28127 are steam and 46 kWh per 100 cycles. It also has a 1400 RPM spin and an A energy rating. The fastest cycle takes 15 min, handy for a quick refresh, and the 8 kg drum takes a full load. Laundry detection, load balancing and an anti-vibration design help it run steadily. The trade-off is noise: the spin runs at 72 dB, so it is not a machine for a bedroom or a flat with thin walls. At 70.1 kg it is heavy to move, and it takes 47 L of water on every cycle. It suits a buyer who wants steam, quick cycles and low energy use, and who will run it during the day.
