What we like about Bosch WIW28443

  • Spin noise of 66 dB keeps running quiet at home.
  • The night or silent option keeps noise down at odd hours.
  • 14 programs cover jeans, shirts, duvets, wool and outdoor sport.
  • A reversible door suits kitchens where one side is awkward.
  • The 81.8 cm height fits a space under a worktop.
  • Foam control and load balancing help keep the spin steady.

What we don't like about Bosch WIW28443

  • 62 kWh per 100 cycles and a C class mean higher running costs.
  • At 76.1 kg it is heavy to move.
  • The door opens only to 130 °, so big items are a squeeze.
  • The 8 kg drum fits less per wash, so bigger households will run it more often.

Verdict

Most people notice the spin first on the Bosch WIW28443, which sits at 66 dB. A night or silent option and a noise class A keep it calm at odd hours. There are 14 programs, and they cover jeans, shirts, duvets, wool and outdoor sport, so most household laundry has a setting. At 81.8 cm high it fits a space under a worktop, and the reversible door suits your kitchen. The 8 kg capacity suits a couple or a small family, and foam control with load balancing helps keep the spin steady. The trade-off is power: 62 kWh per 100 cycles and a C class, and the door opens only to 130 °. It suits a buyer who wants a quiet machine with many cycles and does not mind higher power use.
