What we like about Bosch WGE02405FR

  • Energy use of 40 kWh/100 cycles keeps power use low.
  • The motor is covered for 10 years, which is a long time for the drive.
  • Wool and gentle cycles look after knitwear and delicate fabrics.
  • Pause and add lets you slip in a forgotten item mid-wash.
  • The time remaining indicator shows how long the wash has left.
  • Overflow protection and unbalanced load detection help avoid spills and a noisy spin.
  • Noise emission class A keeps the wash itself quiet.

What we don't like about Bosch WGE02405FR

  • At 7 kg it is small for bedding or a family of four.
  • Spin noise of 72 dB can be heard in the next room.
  • At 70 kg it is heavy to move for cleaning behind it.
  • The lowest spin is 400 RPM, so gentle cycles leave laundry wetter.
  • Each cycle uses 44 L of water, a figure to weigh if water use matters to you.

Verdict

Gentle programs and a long motor warranty make the Bosch WGE02405FR a good fit for a small household that washes often. Its 7 kg drum handles a normal week of clothes, and the wool and gentle cycles look after delicate knits. The motor is covered for 10 years, so the drive is backed for a long time. Pause and add lets you slip a forgotten sock in mid-wash, and the time remaining indicator shows how long is left. Energy use is 40 kWh/100 cycles, and the ECO cycle takes 175 min. Spin reaches 72 dB, which you will hear from another room, though its noise emission class is A. The trade-off is capacity. At 7 kg it is small for bedding or for a family of four, so bulky items may need a second run.
