Bosch WGG254Z0GB Series 6, Free-Standing Washing Machine Front Loader, A Rated, 10 kg, 1400 rpm, Iron Assist, Speed Programme, White

This Bosch machine is proving to be a great item. Was very easy to install. Had it going within 45 minutes of delivery. It looks good and is very quiet. Much quieter than the 18 year old Bosch Machine it is replacing. I purchased Bosch again due to the length of time I had the old one, and no problems during use except for some replacement electric motor brushes that I fitted myself. However, after 18 years of almost daily use, the main drum bearings finally gave up and I bought this new one. New one looks more stylish than the one that it's replaced. The price was also a big factor in getting this machine through Amazon.

I've only had this for two months so can't speak to its reliability. I may well, over the years, have had not very good machines or machines have improved so bearing that in mind this one seems much quieter than any I have had and also seems to be the most stable when it comes to balancing the loads so that it doesn't go walkabouts across the kitchen floor. Things I don't like are likely going to be true of many modern machines, that is the cotton wash is getting on for four hours (three hours 40 minutes according to the timer on the front but it feels like it is never going to end) and if you want the shorter wash (button to press to select) then you can only put in half the weight in clothes (5 kg instead of 10 kg). Also, other washes on the machine are only for between 2 kg (wool) and 5 kg. I use a mixed load setting that takes one hour 20 minutes for 5 kg so can get two loads done in an hour less than a 10 kg cotton. That's fine as I can also separate out coloureds and whites which I wouldn't do if I were filling the machine.

Washes much better than my very old John Lewis washing machine. There’s a speed perfect function which you can use for mixed loads, it takes washing time down from 1 hour to 45 mins which is great when doing multiple loads in a day, but if you have it almost full then it increases its time automatically to about an hour depending on the weight of the load. Delivery guys were great too and double checked everything was working and took my old one away as I paid a bit extra for that option. Love the large capacity too as think it helps keep clothes cleaner. I can definitely notice the improvement in cleanliness compared to my 10 year old John Lewis machine. It does a great job on washing out my sons white stained school shirts too.

We've now given this washing machine a thorough testing and it has to be given a 99 out of 100 score. The only thing it's said it doesn't like is a hand-wash heavy aran cardigan which I put in to spin on its own. It weighs the load and works out the best spin speed etc , all you do is tell it what you're washing and put in the detergent etc. The big 10kg wash load means it will even wash duvets without a grumble. This has to be the best buy of the last few years never mind of this year, it is really that good.

Four stars only for the reason that it is still in the packaging. Not able to do myself. Update to follow. 20/06/2025 Machine in use for last 4 days now. Very quiet Easy to operate Many setting to choose from but time will tell. Had a Samsung before this which lasted a sorry 5 years. Hoping much more from this machine 🤞🏻 Looks good in my kitchen.

Quiet operation. Solidly built. Works flawlessly. Easy to use. Everything you'd expect from a Bosch. Then there's 5 years parts and labour warranty included. Great value. This machine replaced a 10 year old Samsung with inverter drive. In it's first 3 years it was nothing but trouble. Had the shock absorbers replaced 3 times but it still made knocking/banging when spinning. Printed circuit board controller failed completely after 18 months. Fortunately it had 5 years warranty too. I'm hoping the Bosch won't have any of those problems.

Very good device, very quiet and efficient. Only slight quibble is the plastic front door which can feel a bit fragile, previous model had metal one.

The washing machine is great it doesn’t use much water it’s very quite and it rebalances itself every so often to reduce noise , the only problem I had was I live In The south west and this was delivered up north first so I had to wait longer while it was sorted out rather annoying
