It has a special function that allows you to thoroughly and carefully wash your shirt without leaving any wrinkles on it. Secondly, the machine is equipped with a night washing mode. It seems like nothing surprising for a middle-class machine, but we are dealing with a budget model. The average cost of the Bosch WLG 20162 “home assistant” is $325.

The main disadvantage of the washing machine is that it is quite noisy. Also, some users note that it does not always wring out laundry well. Experts point out that its spin class is only “C,” which is not very good for a modern automatic washing machine.

Bosch WLK 2426 Y

Users of Bosch WLK 2426 Y have long answered the question for themselves: which Bosch washing machine to buy and do not regret it one bit. The equipment is really very worthy, although it costs a little more than the machine described above. Its drum capacity is 6 kg of laundry. This is quite enough for a family of 4 people. What technical features catch your eye?

Experts also note the innovative surface of the inner walls of the drum, which are very gentle on delicate fabrics during washing, rinsing and spinning.

Relative disadvantages of the car: the hatch does not open 180⁰, and the depth of the case is as much as 47 cm - such a machine will not fit under the tabletop. Bosch WLK 2426 Y price: $490.

Bosch WLN 24241

Users especially like the ability to limit the wash time and the beautiful drum lighting. Some users consider the downside of this machine to be too deep – 45 cm. The price of the machine is $476.

Bosch WLL 2416 E

One of the most worthy representatives of its class is the Bosch WLL 2416 E. This machine is a real expert in cleaning clothes from various stains. Its drum can accommodate up to 7 kg of laundry, and the touch control allows you to accurately install and configure the desired program.

1. The machine has 17 washing programs. This machine has absorbed absolutely all the advanced programs developed within the Bosch company.
2. The classic and at the same time ergonomic design indicates that this machine can fit into any modern interior composition of a bathroom or kitchen.

Bosch WIW 28540

So we have reached the expensive “home assistants” in our rating. Largely due to the high cost, machines in this price category are not popular among people, but the Bosch WIW 28540 is an exception to the rule. Hundreds of positive reviews from grateful users and discreet praise from experts. It seems that this machine has won the hearts of Runet users. Why is that?

1. First of all, it should be noted that this “home assistant” is completely built-in. On the front wall of the case on the right and left there are hinge fastenings for hanging the door. I installed the machine in the kitchen under the countertop, hung the door, and now you have an inconspicuous cabinet that does not spoil the design of the room.
2. The machine is perfect for a large, friendly family of 5-6 people, because its drum holds 8 kg of laundry. Theoretically, she will wash the dirty clothes accumulated over a week for 6 people in two steps.
3. The Bosch WIW 28540 is equipped with a new generation touch control panel, although the classic program selector for this machine is retained.
4. The drum is capable of rotating at a monstrous speed - 1400 rpm, effectively squeezing things out.
5. The control module board contains 14 washing modes in memory, which the user can adjust to their needs.
6. The drum has internal lighting.

The main advantage that both users and experts unanimously highlight: quiet operation. When spinning at 1400 rpm, the machine is capable of producing no more than 67 dB. Just think about it, this is one of the quietest Bosch machines, if not the quietest. In this regard, only very expensive models assembled in Germany can compete with it. As part of our review, we will not find out whose assembly is more reliable. Although it is obvious that washing machines assembled in Germany work longer and better than those assembled in third countries.

The main disadvantage is the large dimensions of the case. Bosch WIW 28540 case W x D x H – 60 x 57 x 82 cm. A standard depth table top is definitely not suitable for this machine. Sellers today value this machine at $1,047.

Bosch WAT 20441

Buyers who are purposefully looking for a good Bosch washing machine with a very spacious drum should take a closer look at the Bosch WAT 20441. It has a large drum for 9 kg of dry laundry. In such a machine, on occasion, you can even wash rugs, not just outerwear or bed linen. A huge drum requires a large capacity tank, which requires a lot of water to fill. To wash 9 kg of laundry, you need 62 liters of water.

The drum rotates at a speed of up to 1000 rpm, which is unexpectedly low for a modern machine of this class. When starting a particular washing program, you can cancel the spin cycle or reduce its speed. Bosch WAT 20441 is completely protected from leakage, from the interference of small children and from imbalance.The model also has a built-in system that controls the foaming process. The machine has a lot of special washing programs, including:

• direct injection system;
• washing items made from delicate fabrics;
• night wash;
• washing denim clothes;
• children's clothing and 9 more similar programs.

Users really like the stain removal program, which helps deal with the most stubborn stains.

Among the advantages of the machine, experts highlight: the EcoSilence Drive engine, a drum with the VarioDrum system and a special flow sensor. In general, experts note the high reliability of the Bosch WAT 20441. Disadvantages of the machine: low spin quality and high water consumption. The machine costs $666.

Bosch WAW 24440

An excellent middle-class machine with a spacious drum for 9 kg of things. The machine consumes very little water, and electricity consumption is completely reduced to a minimum - 0.1 kW/h. Bosch WAW 24440 is equipped with electronic intelligent control as well as a digital display. The spin is adjustable, you can set it from 400 to 1200 rpm. The machine has 14 special washing programs. If the user is not satisfied with any parameters of special programs, he can change them.

Bosch WAW 24440 is perfectly protected against operational risks. It has an unrivaled imbalance control program built into it.

• wide opening of the loading hatch;
• low noise level;
• special compartment for washing gel;
• drum with Wavedrum technology;
• bright display, the inscriptions on which are visible even in bright general lighting.

The main disadvantage of the Bosch WAW 24440 is the dimensions of the case. They are W x D x H - 60 x 59 x 85 cm. If you have enough space in your bathroom, then there is nothing to worry about. The average cost of this model is $809.

Bosch WOT 26483

Let's step away for a while from front-loading washing machines and turn our attention to “home assistants”, in which the loading hatch is located on top. The Bosch WOT 26483 machine is of interest to consumers. This “vertical” machine is well assembled, it has a display and modern electronic controls. The drum can load up to 6 kg of laundry and this is a good indicator for machines with vertical loading.

The machine spins just fine and you don’t even need to frequently turn on the mode at 1300 rpm, 1000 rpm is enough. Energy consumption corresponds to class A+. The machine consumes 48 liters of water per cycle, which is a bit much for a six-kilogram drum. The housing is only partially protected from water leaks: the housing is protected, but the inlet hose is unprotected.

The set of programs contains 14 titles. Nothing unusual, all the same special modes that are found in 80% of Bosch machines. Experts and ordinary users speak very highly of the Bosch WOT 26483. They especially highlight: the presence of automatic drum parking, convenient caster wheels for moving the machine around the room and quiet operation. When spinning clothes at 1300 rpm, the machine produces only 69 dB. Price: $571.

As a drawback, experts highlight the unstable firmware of the control module, which often crashes due to voltage surges in the electrical network.

Bosch WOT 24454

Fans of Bosch top-loading washing machines may like the Bosch WOT 24454.It is also capable of washing 6 kg of laundry at once, while it has simple and intuitive electronic controls. The washing machine is incredibly stable. It will stand rooted to the spot even if you turn on the spin cycle at maximum speed, which is no less than 1200 rpm. Despite its good stability, the machine is a little noisier than the Bosch WOT 26483 - this is due to the lower build quality.

Experts gave the machine fairly high marks without highlighting any obvious shortcomings, but users noted these shortcomings. Firstly, the buttons on the control panel work only once. Secondly, the machine sometimes resets the washing program and freezes, and this is a problem with many Bosch WOT 24454, so there is no factory defect when assembling a particular machine. In general, the technology is not bad and deserves high praise. Its market value is $520.

Bosch WOL 2050

The last in our rating was a washing machine from Bosch WOL 2050 series. The design of this machine is quite interesting. Users are accustomed to the fact that top-loading washing machines have the control panel on top, but with this appliance it is located on the front wall, like a front-loading “home assistant.” At first glance, this is even a little disorienting; you want to look for a hatch on the front wall, but of course it’s not there, it’s located on top.

The technical characteristics of the Bosch WOL 2050 are very modest. The drum can hold no more than 4.5 kg of dry items, and the spin speed does not exceed 1000 rpm. The model does not have protection against the intervention of small children, which is very depressing for some buyers. The machine has 12 special washing programs, which makes it possible to wash clothes well.In order to wash 4.5 kg of laundry, the machine will spend about 42 liters of water and 0.21 kWh of electricity, which is quite a lot by modern standards.

Modest technical specifications could not mislead users, and they are very glad that they bought this machine. They are especially pleased with the high quality of washing, the absence of loud noise during operation and the excellent spin cycle. They believe that for the money the machine has no disadvantages and, in general, experts agree with them. The cost of this unusual equipment is $485.
