What we like about Bosch WGG244120

  • A 50 dB wash is quiet enough to run at night.
  • An inverter motor and anti-vibration design keep the spin steady.
  • A 9 kg drum takes a big load in one go.
  • The 15 min fast cycle is useful for a quick wash.
  • AquaStop adds protection against hose leaks.
  • Pause and add lets you slip in a forgotten item.

What we don't like about Bosch WGG244120

  • There is no steam function for freshening clothes.
  • Only 11 washing programs give less choice for unusual fabrics.
  • At 74.6 kg it is heavy to move.
  • No Wi-Fi connection means the machine cannot be controlled from a phone.
  • No automatic dosing, so detergent is measured by hand.

Verdict

Washing at night will not wake the house with the Bosch WGG244120. The wash runs at 50 dB and the spin at 70 dB, so it stays calm in a flat or open-plan kitchen. Its inverter motor and anti-vibration design keep it steady on a full drum. The 9 kg capacity suits a family of four, and the 65 L drum has room to move the clothes around. A 15 min fast cycle handles a quick top-up, while anti-stain and anti-crease options take care of the rest. Pause and add, a delay start and an interior light make daily use easier. The trade-off is that it has no steam and only 11 programs. It suits a buyer who wants a quiet machine for everyday loads and does not need steam or Wi-Fi.
