Bosch WAL28RH1GB Serie 6 Freestanding Washing Machine with AllergyPlus and Home Connect, 10kg load, 1400rpm spin, White

Product Information

In addition to the standard set of Serie 6 features, such as Bosch’s handy, time-reducing SpeedPerfect mode and the upgraded drum design, dubbed VarioDrum, the big addition here is the AntiStain technology. This allows you to target four different stain types – oil, red wine, blood or grass. You select one stain type per programme and, according to Bosch, these modes supplement the standard modes by adjusting water temperature, drum movement and soaking times to maximise stain removal. Bosch Serie 6 WAU28R90GB review: Price and competition The Serie|6 washing machine with AntiStain system and Home Connect removes the most common stains with ease and without pre-treatment. Waiting around for your laundry load to finish can waste time and cause unnecessary stress, especially for those with busy schedules. Home Connect puts your mind at ease and helps you be more productive with your time. If you wish, Push Notifications can be sent from your washing machine directly to your mobile device, conveniently letting you know the current programme status, as well as other useful information. Multitasking in and out of the home just got a little easier. However, if you choose to buy a washing machine outside of our list, we recommend that you take some precautions.

Also, we found the Anti-allergy programme particularly interesting. It is an excellent feature for people with sensitive skin, as it kills 99.9% of bacteria and removes pollen and dust mites from your fabric.Delay the start of the washing cycle to get your laundry ready when you need it. Simply use this feature to time the end of the cycle for when you will be ready to unload the machine.

Feature IconNo one enjoys doing the laundry. Especially when you are in a hurry but have to wait for it to finish. Bosch washing machines with the Home Connect remote control now give you complete control over your laundry - at the touch of a button. Simply use your mobile device to conveniently control and monitor your machine remotely via the Home Connect app. With access to your washing machine on the go, now you can run your home the way you like, even if you aren’t there. For smaller homes or flats, the Quiet Wash option may be something of a boon, too. This isn’t a noisy machine, but the Quiet Wash mode lowers the noise levels even further. This makes it ideal for setting a wash going last thing at night or first thing in the morning. Bosch Serie 6 WAU28R90GB review: Washing performance The Serie 6 WAU28R90GB sits in the middle of Bosch’s mid-range Serie 6 family. It offers a maximum spin speed of 1,400rpm, and the 9kg wash capacity is a welcome step up from Bosch’s Serie 4 ranges and below, which offer a maximum capacity of 8kg. Energy efficiency is a C rating on the new scale. AllergyPlus enables you to wash your clothes above 60 degrees, removing any germs, pet hair, and pollen remnants. The extra rinse also prevents any detergent particles being left on your washing, further eliminating the risk of any allergic reactions when wearing your clothes or using your towels. Another feature of the Bosch 6 that’s becoming increasingly popular with the modern household is the Home Connect option. Let your appliance work around you, so you can get on with the rest of the chores.One other welcome feature is the drum cleaning reminder. If you run 20 consecutive wash programmes at 40c or under, then the machine will automatically remind you to run the dedicated Drum Clean programme to prevent unwanted build-ups of detergent or bacteria – or, indeed, both. As this is something that’s easy to forget, it’s good to see it integrated as standard.

We love how AEG ProSense keeps the outfit looking as good as new after every wash. Special sensors in the drum determine the fabric type and the exact settings that leave them spotlessly clean. It also monitors each washing cycle to reduce over washing. This way, your clothes can stay vibrant and last longer. The Serie 6 WAU28R90GB acquitted itself well in these tests. Curiously, stain removal wasn’t on a par with best of last year’s Bosch machines but the differences weren’t night and day. All the stains on our test swatch were significantly faded at 40°C, and upping the temperature to 60°C saw the worst stains fade further still, albeit not (as noted) as much as on previous generations.To assess a machine’s cleaning performance, we use lab-quality cotton stain swatches impregnated with nine tough stains (grass/mud, mustard, carrot baby food, tea, cooked beef fat, red wine, tomato puree, sheep’s blood and coffee) and these allow us to perform repeatable and fair tests of a machine’s cleaning performance.
