Bosch WAE 28363

Very efficient use of energy, The ability to delay the finish time by individual hours not blocks of hours as with some other machines. Previously proven reliability and support.

Operating instructions supplied with the machine is lacking in detailed guidance. It mentions on page 7 that 'Easy-Care' is also available as a Short Programme but there is no guidance on how to select this option.

Shortest cycle time is still 55 mins.

I like the fact that this machine is so quiet and the time delay button is a really good feature and the clothes don't seem as creased after the wash which helps when ironing.

The machine is very good value for money, with alot of features. It is quiet, has a handwash function and you can choose the strength of spin i.e. 1400, 1200, 900.

I like the count down so you know how long is left and you can also use it to select the quickest program. The child lock is also very useful and needed for adults aswell as children to stop you accidently changing your program. I also think the alarm is great to let you know when it has finished, however it does mean you wouldn't feel comfortable going out whilst the machine was running. Also very easy to use.

There is no quick wash or half load (however I never do halfloads anyway and quick never seem to wash properly!). Could be clearer in letting you know which is the most energy efficient program - I just presume it'll be the shortest. It could look better, as I was seriously tempted to but the Indesit Moon instead of this.

Reliable machine that does not over complicate with too many programmes.

Detergent dispenser drawer does need to be left open regularly after use because it is prone to get mouldy

Second Bosch washing machine that I have purchased, the first one lasted nine years without any maintenance at all. Hoping this one will be the same. Digital display shows wash times which is very useful. Excellent spin. Very happy with it.

A minor gripe is clothes tend to come out more creased than on the previous Bosch I owned whatever spin speed is used.

washes clean, spinning well, not much noise, handy time indication

none

Having time left of cycle indicated Noise level of spin Economy of wash Effectiveness of 30 deg wash

Non that I can think of so far

Easy to use.

Doesnt have a 50degree wash

Very easy to use and quick cycle times. Cleaning results excellent.

Easy to use, plenty of different programmes, quiet running even on 1400 spin speed.

Only 1 - cannot find how to do a half load hot wash!

'Time to finish' view Ease of programme choice

A tilted drum would be nice to allow that stray sock to be added after the cycle has started. Auto-weighing of load to determine how much water is required would be good (maybe it has this?) Owners manual isn't very well laid out. Couldn't work out how to change volume of alarm.

Clean, well made, enough features including delay start.

Noisy bleeping at end of cycle. Water pipe supplied far too short, should be 5m not 3m long. Penny pinching :~((. Otherwise appears well made and feels as though it will last.

Very simple to use. The machines is quiet and the 1400 spin is brilliant- the clothes are almost dry sometimes!

At the end of the cycle the machine gives three beeps to let you know it has finished. But then it does that every minute for 10-12 minutes and it doesn't stop when you open the door, only when you switch the machine off. I find it really annoying that there is no way to switch the sound off but that is the only bad thing on a very good machine.

Quiet machine, variety of programmes that can be mixed and matched according to load. Have always found Bosch very reliable and able to cope with heavy loads such as dirty dog blankets!

None that I can think of.

Quiet, easy to operate

lower temperature washes not available on all programmes

It is an excellent washing machine, very good wash programmes with good wash times also.

None!

Build quality is that bit better, so it's not as noisy as other machines.

It'll beep when finished. And keep beeping until you turn it of. This function can be switched off (thankfully), but the instructions on how to do that are a bit complicated.

This washer surpassed our expectations in cycle times and noise level

Can`t fault it

very quick and efficient

soap powder drawer clogs so all the powder is not used and the drawer has to be washed each time

Automatically adjusts water level to volume of clothes in drum, Set finishing time required. Cold wash. Cannot set very high speed spin for delicate clothes, which could damage or at least crease them. Low noise level. Beep when finished now has a volume control, including an off position.

None so far.

very quiet. washing nearly dry when it comes out.

none

All brilliant

could have done with a half load option

This washer comes up to the standard I expect from a Bosch. My last washer was a Bosch and lasted me 10 years and our washer engineer advised us to get another when the first one broke down after 10 years. The display is very usefull as shows the time left on that cycle and the 1400 spin speed is excellent taking out all the water on sweats and joggers so tumble drying doesn't take as long. Overall an excellent product

no bad points that I can think of

Good Solid build. It's german, of course it's good quality. 1400 spin speed is surprisingly quiet, clothes come out dryer than my recently scrapped Indesit WL163 1600. Easy iron. Simple controls. Time left indicator and audible finish alarm. Height adjustment a doddle due to third rear castor adjustable from front! "A" for energy and water. Cold fill only. 2 year guarantee as standard.

Front adjustment castors are for the nimble fingered. More or less faultless.

Very easy to use controls - tactile and no fiddly buttons. Easy to use and much quieter than previous machines I have owned. Clean washing and efficient spin cycle, which isn't too noisy either. Best feature is timer so can use overnight on economy 7!

the machine is very quiet and i like the bleep to let you know the cycle has finished - always quicker than i thought it would be.

no half load button

Good choice of settings and digital display very handy. Much quieter than my last machine. Nice large drum, especially good for larger loads.

1400 spin can only be used on cotton washes - didn't realise this at the time of purchase but hasn't really bothered me.

Easy to use, quick wash cycle of 55 mins on a 40 degree Easy Care wash, count down timer / symbol display to show at what point in the cycle the machine is in, quiet operation. All I hope is that this machine lasts at least 11 years like my previous BOSCH.

None so far.

pleased with product on the whole and have recommended to a friend who has also purchased the same

would like a half load facility

Very quiet and very easy to use, as there is no need to read the manual beforehand.

There is not a quick wash programme.

Very simple to use, quiet and excellent spin. I'm very happy with it.

The alarm at the end of the cycle is really annoying. I'm sure I should be able to turn it off somehow but can't figure it out!!

Easy to use,very quiet,good choice of programmes,the timer lets you know how long the wash will take and how much longer there is to go.The clothes nearly come out dry.Would definately recommend.

I didnt buy it earlier,its great.

Firstly, it's quiet. The soft touch buttons are a lovely feature and I like the programmes available to use. The mixed fabric wash cycle is only 45 minutes and there's a timer feature allowing you to see how much time is left on the programme you have it on. You also have a choice of what speed you'd like the spin cycle to be on.

Still quite new and haven't really had enough time to know what's bad about it ... does the job, does it well, I couldn't really ask for more.

i love knowing when the wash cycle is going to finish as it has a timer

hate the annoying bleeping at the finish of the cycle

Great machine, Big door so easy to load washing, Very quiet and Easy to use!

Doesn't have a quick wash cycle so you have to do it on easy care programme to reduce the washing time and if you want to do a spin for a single item you have to wait 5 mins or so for the programme to run, Apart from that a great machine

well made, quiet, economical and efficient

none

Large drum size. Good range of wash settings with freedom to add various extra wash functions. Quiet and well built.

cheap, easy to use reliable manufacturer

none

Very quiet, you can turn off the bleeping. Big drum, simple controls.

Buttons aren't that easy to use and it isn't the most attractive of machines but very good value and much better than my old one.

It is a really nice machine and the great thing is being told how long is left of the cycle. It cleans well and the choice of differetn spins is truly great

can't think of any!

very easy and good machine, very pleased with it. Single and managed to connect it up easily myself.

the alarm at the end of the cycle is a little annoying and seems not to be able to switch it off

DUE TO COLD WATER ONLY FILL CYCLE TIMES ARE LONG

ALL ROUND VERY GOOD

Easy to operate and very quiet, helpful to know how much time is left on cycle

Disappointed that no half load cycle and beeping at end of cycle can be very annoying.

REALLY LOW NOIZE LEVEL,EXCELLENT PERFORMANCE

NONE

Very quiet, excellent cleaning results.

Some of the programmes seem a bit lengthy.

good value for money, 3 years warrantee

it does not have half loading

Efficient, solid and sturdy

No half load feature

The timer display. it lets you know how long the cycle has left. The spin speed, clothes won't take long to dry on the 1400 spin

None

At last something decent enough for the price

Easy to use.

Delay wash button too easy to activate as too near the main dial.

easy to use

expensive

Very quiet especially in the spin cycle cycle times not to long Clothes did not take to long to dry because of the good spin

Digital display counts down the time to end which is handy. Programme choice is good and seems to have a setting for all items.

Touch sensitive buttons, if the dog wags it tail or you just brush past the control panel and touch one, it will alter the spin or put the programme on hold. It bleeps to let you know when the door can be opened. This is annoying as if you leave it on when you go to bed as it will bleep and bleep!

digital display and choice of functions

touch buttons can be too sensitive

Good value for money, quieter than I expected, looks good with touch sensitive buttons. thoroughly recomended. When my last machine stopped working i called out an engineer for a quote, he mentioned he had recently bought a new machine, I asked him which make - Bosch, because the last forever compared to other well known makes

None

Good quality robust Manufacture

Could do with a Half wash cycle

Sainsbury's was very efficient to deal with - a very positive experience

Does not move about the floor when spinning even at the 1400 spin speed and even with a small load or a large loan it stays well and truly on the floor. The extra longer spin speed really does take a lot more water out of your washing and really does help to get you washing dry faster even if you dry it out of doors or in your tumble dryer. I would highly recommend this machine to anyone. The short 30 minute wash is just right for small loads and still spins at 1200 spin speed with out any rocking and very quite motor can hardly hear it unless I go into my kitchen. Really good value for the price I paid.

No bad points at all.

Easy to use. fast, quiet, very economical.

Very quiet whilst running, so have set the audio alarm so that I know it's finished.

Audio alarm can get very annoying if you don't get to it straight away.

Really pleased with purchase, choice of spin speed, counts down time to finnish of cycle. Would of given it 10 out of 10 - but sure they will make some slight improvements again when they bring out the next model as this is much improved on my old bosch machine which was approx 15yrs old

None

Good short cycle time - great for my young family! Lots of different programmes, and flexibility to customise the settings.

High spin cycle can be a bit noisy

Easy to use and effective.

Noisier than I thought it would be but still much quieter than previous machine.

quick wash cycle, good wash load capacity. has delayed start,

not found any yet

Not noisy in use. Time display for length of wash.

No half load. Detergent drawer does not appear to remove for cleaning.

Ease of use. Choice of spin speeds.

Noise when washing has finished until you turn machine off. It can be very annoying. Would have liked a half load facility.

Good all round product, no problems so far

Could do with a specific 50 degree wash as sometimes a 60 degree wash is too hot but 40 degrees isn't hot enough

A very quite machine. Very eco friendly with 30deg wash option and quick cycle.

Pull out soap dispenser drawer not very strong

Simple to use and does the job - it is our 2nd Bosch washing machine.

None.

This machine does every thing that it is needed to do with no problems at all. We like the time left to finish cycle can be very useful. The cold fill made the plumbing work very simple. e find the time left to finish cycle is helpful.

Easy to operate, clear displays, washes well, so far no bad points to note

None

Quick cycle time, clean clothes and good spin to leave clothes dry. Simple to use. Quiet

None really - It is not flashy but does the job. Too early to say whether it is reliable

Excellant value for money. Takes a large load and is simple to use.

No bad points

A LOT OF CONTROL WITH THE PROGRAMMES

NONE

simple to use and very low noise

Easy to use - clear times for cycles. Excellent washing results. Quiet.

no pause / resume programme facility - I use the tablets or gel that goes straight in to the drum and on a couple of occassions have noticed that the detergent has been caught in the door rim which required me to stop and restart the programme. A minor thing really as overall I'm really pleased with the machine.

quiet .....quick .....!

None

It's everything it says it is.It is so much quieter than my old machine and I'm very pleased with it.

Haven't found any yet.

Simple programmes. Very quiet.

Difficult to position under a worktop in a confined space dur to rubber feet. Difficult to adjust feet to get levelbecause of access.

Quality machine for a low price, improved washing performance. Economic

i have not discovered any bad points

very quiet operation , easy to set up, very good value for money

touch sensitive buttons not a practical idea, can change the settings accidentally

excellent product no problems whatsoever

timing of cycle times not accurate.
