+ You can not overload the machine. > 8 kg, it will not start.
+ Bosch appliances in the program that are advertised as "Made in Germany" in marketing and in which the origin is guaranteed - a surcharge. But that does not mean that all other devices "Made in low-wage" are. My WAW28540 is well assembled in Germany (end). Only the origin of which is not guaranteed for all copies of the series, which in my opinion very good price / performance ratio reflected (measured at the street price -35% to list).
~ With half loads I would have hoped for more savings (for display). For best efficiency you should already take advantage of the volumetric capacity.
~ There is the overload protection. But you notice it only when the machine will not start if> 8 kg. The sensor is probably available. Display of the current load condition and dosing recommendation for laundry there but only at higher positioned models.
- What I absolutely can not understand is that today still must be in the manual that one should get involved before washing about 1.5 liters of water, so that detergent does not reach the bottom of the machine, where it has no effect. Technically would be easy to solve. Is the cost pressure in this class really so big that you have to save a valve and a bypass line?
Half a star deduction does not exist unfortunately. My ratings for this product would be 4.5 stars.
(No rating) on large equipment service from Hermes, there is nothing to complain about. Arrive safely to the local partners. Not comparable to the parcel service.
