Reviews of the Bosch WLK20266OE washing machine

Everyone knows that Bosch knows how to make good washing machines. Despite this, many people agree that the quality of washing machines produced in Russia is lower than that of their European counterparts and preference should be given to them with caution. We present to your attention the Bosch WLK20266OE washing machine. This model was assembled in Russia, it has mediocre technical characteristics and low cost. Let's see what reviews consumers have left about it, maybe we can find out more.

Men's opinions

Sergey, St. Petersburg

My brother is a washing machine repair specialist. When I was getting ready to hire a new “home assistant,” I took him with me as an expert. At first we looked among budget washing machines, because I was tight with money, and I didn’t want to get into debt, even small ones. I like it Candy GC4 1072D-07, but my brother dissuaded me from buying it, pointing out that this model is very unstable, does not work well and breaks down quickly.

After going through a dozen more options, I realized that I couldn’t find a good machine among the cheap ones. We started looking at everything and came across Bosch WLK20266OE. My brother kind of liked her. True, he made a couple of comments regarding the short hoses and the difficult to remove powder tray, but otherwise everything was fine. On the same day, I borrowed some money, because I just didn’t have enough for this particular machine, and I finally managed to buy this “miracle of technology.” We've been doing laundry for the seventh month now. What do I like about the machine?

1. Quite a spacious 6 kg drum. After the old washing machine, it is noticeably more spacious.
2. Security at a high level.There is protection against leaks, protection against child intervention, imbalance control, and foam level control.
3. As many as 15 washing programs for all occasions. I haven’t had time to figure them all out yet; we only use six.
4. It wrings and rinses just fine, my wife and mother are incredibly happy.

The spin speed can be adjusted. Although there is a maximum of 1000 rpm, we turn on 800, this is enough for a good result.

Overall, I think the purchase was a success. Thank you very much to my brother, you didn’t give up in difficult times. This machine is really good, I recommend it to everyone!

My wife and I bought the machine at an overnight sale at a large household appliance store with a 50% discount. There was such a rush there that there was no point in thinking about delivery. No one showed it to us either, the sellers were very busy, so we took it from the warehouse ourselves, without even unpacking the box. We loaded the washing machine into our minibus and drove home.

As buyers, we have made all possible mistakes, we even managed to lose the documents for the washing machine along with the receipt, but fortunately we don’t need them yet. The machine was in impeccable condition and has been working for two years now without the slightest glitch. We are very glad that we were able to get such a good unit for mere pennies.

The lifespan is 2 years, it’s great, if someone criticizes the machine, don’t listen. It washes flawlessly, there is no shaking during washing, and there is no particular noise either. Five points without further ado.

Women's opinions

Compared to Kandy or Ariston, this washing machine is simply great. The powder consumption is noticeably less, I don’t know how much less, I didn’t count, but the savings are obvious.I like some programs, for example, pre-wash, it allows you to wash very dirty things that the machine would not take with a normal program. I'm happy with the purchase and recommend it to everyone!

Julia, Serpukhov

I am a mother of two kids. They are at such an age that the amount of dirty clothes in the basket never decreases; they have to wash it every day. Fortunately, I have a Bosch WLK20266OE working at home, which has never let me down. In a private house, children climb everywhere and stains on clothes are also very diverse, but the machine, coupled with expensive powder, does an excellent job. For me, there is no better “home assistant” than Bosch, this is my opinion.

Daria, Ekaterinburg

I will probably seem banal, but I really like the technology from Bosch. My husband also respects this brand very much, he even has a Boshevsky power tool in his garage. We purchased the Bosch WLK20266OE washing machine three months ago, no problems so far. One time I almost lost my husband’s sock. It got stuck between the drum and the cuff of the hatch, it’s good that it didn’t fall into the tank, no matter how we got it out of there. The machine is good, so far I have no complaints!

Marina, Moscow

The washing machine is pathetic, I expected something more from Bosch for the money. Competitors sell machines with dryers for $460, but Bosch is honored to sell equipment assembled in the mid-2000s at exorbitant prices. The machine works well, but the price is significantly too high, selling it for 300 dollars would be perfect!

Yana, Ivanovo

I recently bought a washing machine. I don’t like that after each washing program you have to set it to spin/drain separately, otherwise the laundry will be damp. I rate the washing machine a solid C!

Rose, Arkhangelsk

I love this washing machine, it's just cool. I used Indesit before, I couldn’t stop swearing, I suffered for a year and finally my husband gave me this beauty. Bosch is much more reliable, no failures, no breakdowns and no other tricks, I’ve even gotten out of the habit of it. Now we finally have a good washing machine in our house.

Irina, Omsk

This is far from the first Bosch machine that I use, so I speak with knowledge of the matter. The washing machine is very good, there is nothing superfluous in it. All programs have been tested many times and do washing very well. The body is a little flimsier compared to the old Bosch, but this does not interfere with the machine, it works flawlessly.
