Another great product by BOSCH
Serie 8 WAW28420AUI am very impressed with my new washing machine. After comparing features this one stood out. The water efficiency of a larger machine was very important. Another reason behind my decision was that it was manufactured and engineered in Germany as they have an excellent reputation. The pause and add or retrieve feature has been wonderful and very user friendly. It is very quiet in operation. The was washing result is very clean, follow the guide and it never disappoints. An unexpected bonus was that even though being of a larger capacity, the Bosch was smaller in external dimensions by a couple of mm and fits better into my laundry configuration. I kept the instructions handy for the first few washes but now I don’t need it.
Purchased in at E & S for $1,100.

Good for 3 years only
Serie 8 WAW28460AUThis washing machine (German made) worked well until after 3 years when it started to beep and the tap symbol started flashing, thinking there was a problem with either the water supply or outlet blockage. I had thoroughly followed the troubleshooting instructions in the manual and could find nothing wrong. The error always happens after the initial wash phase is finished and the machine takes in water for the first rinse. Sometimes the error is so bad that the machine pauses. I searched online for a solution and found that other customers had the same issue. The repair bill is just not worth the cost. When this machine dies I will stick to the LG brand which I have found to be a lot more reliable. Surely you would expect that a German made machine costing a premium would last a lot longer than 3 years, I am bitterly disappointed.
Despite Bosch approaching me upon reading this review, they have not contacted me yet

Simply works as promised
Serie 8 WAW28420AUBought this to replace an old Westinghouse top loader. This front loader is quiet and works like a dream. Great panel interface that's simple and intuitive. I've always found Bosch appliances to be reliable and well designed. This washing machine is no exception.

First Front Loader to Use But?
Serie 8 WAW28620AUAfter using the machine for 6 mths I have questioned weather its the type of machine/auto wash or the way its washing.
On cottons especially, after the wash and dry (clothes line) material shrinkage is quite noticeable. The clothing goes back to a snug fit but in comparison to our old top loader there is quite a difference. with the auto setting at 40 degrees once set to cold wash the shrinkage is not as or even noticeable.
As for the clean the clothing is I find no difference from the old top loader.

Love it! Handles the really dirty clothes too.
Serie 8 WAW32640AULove this machine my only regret is I did not buy the bigger one. We have lots of pets inside so lots of dog hair and this machine handles it like a pro, 2 x dogs, 2 x kids and a tradie partner it’s seen it’s fair share of dirt over the years. Easy settings to use and the night wash is perfect if you want to do a load overnight without the finish beep.

very happy with my purchase
Serie 8 WAV28M40AUHaving purchased this washing machine eight months ago, I am thoroughly impressed. I have been using it at least once a week. It's remarkably quite. The spacious drum easily accommodates sizable loads, and its diverse washing modes cater to various needs. It has a nice design and energy efficient. Exceeds my expectations. Highly recommended.
Purchased in at appliances online for $900.
Paddle broke with normal use.
Serie 8 WAW28460AUI went out of my way to buy a quality washing machine rather than a cheap brand, as I am happy to pay for quality.
Unfortunately, after 6 years of normal moderate use, the paddle broke (see pictures). I believe that is more than reasonable to expect a quality washing machine to not break after such a period.

Bunny, Melbourne
I purchased a Bosch front load WAW28460AU washing machine on 1/11/2023.
On 3 occasions I have opened the door at the end of a cycle & water has poured out onto the laundry floor.
In one instance the cycle had been finished & clothes had removed for 5 hours.
I collect the grey water discharge in the laundry trough for recycling & think the water is being syphoned back into the machine.
I did this for 17 years with my Asco front loader without a problem.
Has anyone else had this problem.
Hopefully there is there a solution?
My washing cycles are now taking on average 2 hours which is nothing short of insane. How are people getting around this?
I go for a 40ish mix cycle but they go on for hours. To be honest all cycles go way over time. Help needed, I'm so frustrated by this machine.

I keep getting the foam detection warning light coming up even though I use a very small amount of detergent. It makes all the cycles take double the time because it does an extra rinse cycle. Why is this, and how can it be rectified?
