A brief word to delivery, everything worked perfectly u. Even though I have the delivery date brought forward subsequently for several days, some communication with Amazon u. It worked all smoothly.
The machine was carried me down to the basement, unpacked u. The packaging material went right back with back.
Putting up / aligning and connecting the machine I took over yourself!
Because insufficient information was commercially and on the net to get, for those interested, the notes on the VarioPerfect function of Bosch.
speedPerfect:
Since in this case the drum often moves (more washing mechanics) and the active duration of the heating is prolonged, the washing time can be shortened accordingly.
In speedPerfect the reduced capacity has to be considered in relation to the standard programs -> eg hot / colored max. 4 kg -> up to 60% shorter term!
Conclusion speedPerfect: Reduced capacity -> more washing mechanics -> more constant temperature control -> at shorter running time of the machine -> ...... but if it energy technology, relativized by the shorter term, remains open -> possibly increased water consumption compared to the standard programs.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ecoPerfect:
In the same quantities as in the standard programs, here extends the washing time and there are additionally inserted longer rest periods such as for soaking. The washing mechanism corresponds to the standard programs the heating is often less active, so that the tank water is not permanently kept at the set temperature. -> The washing temperature is reached but in any case not only kept constant up over the entire term.
Conclusion ecoPerfect: Max. Capacity per wash program possible -> washing mechanism corresponds to the standard programs -> by some considerable extension of the washing time with periods of rest and a specially controlled heating time / temperature curve -> .... This results in the reduced energy and water consumption over. the standard programs.
IMPORTANT: Both VarioPerfect functions (speedPerfect + ecoPerfect) should it not degrade the washing result come !!
Note:
Consumption data of the energy label A +++ ONLY apply to programs with selected "ecoPerfect" function !!!
The actual consumption of energy and water are determined by the amount of the automatic washing machine. So you're on the composition of the laundry batch (quantity, type of fabric, absorbency of textiles, amount and type of detergent, water hardness used, pollution etc ..) dependent.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now the machine itself:
After the first 60 ° C program without laundry (for cleaning the machine) then the first wash Minimum iron 40 ° C / ecoPerfect u. After the same program 60 ° C hot / colored wash with speedPerfect.
Out of curiosity I looked at the 40 ° ecoPerfect laundry on the water meter - I only say so much, it behaves the same as with the manufacturer's instructions in fuel consumption of cars: - ((
The Bosch WAQ28440 is realtiv quietly during washing, you can hear mainly almost only the laundry smack into the water, certainly due to the larger drum, which provide real brings a higher height of fall with it, during spinning, I can only hardly or only marginally a noise advantage notice to my old Siemens WM.
BSH appliances in this price range have probably always (yet) weakens the sometimes high-pitched tone at medium Spin speed (carbon motor) which changes at higher revolutions or. Added to this is the parallel clearly audible pump with the pounding noise in the closing stages. - Even the tinny "clack" of the magnetic closure of the door does not really fit into Flüsterimage the Bosch - all in all, not dramatically but in addition to the many "super quiet reviews" should be simply mentioned this - because in my view is one of the spin, Pumping, etc. also to wash!
The operation of the Bosch is easy and in principle there is almost all standard programs equal to 3 x
1x standard programs such as hot / colored
1x standard programs such as hot / colored + ecoPerfect (energy saving)
1x standard programs such as hot / colored + speedPerfect (shorter duration may higher consumption)
Same is with the Programs: easy, sensitive, quick-mix, etc., etc.
Temperatures can be set depending on the wash cycle of cold on 20,30,40,60 and 90 ° C.
Spin speeds, depending on the washing program of 400, 600, 800, 1200, 1400 rev. / Min, and "Rinse hold"
The corresponding base washing temperature u. Spin speed proposed by the machine when selecting the program in the display u. Can within the "predetermined program framework" be changed individually.
The digital display of maturity is adapted to the settings immediately.
Maladjustment such as wool 60 ° C with spin 1400 rev. / Min can be logically not selected so that such erroneous combinations are excluded from the outset.
Additional programs such as:
-> SpeedPerfect (fast / wash shorter, shortening time to - 60%)
-> Eco Perfect (energy-optimized washing to A +++)
-> Easy Iron (short spin up to 800 rev / min.).
-> Rinse Plus (. Additional rinse cycle, for areas with very soft water or to improve rinsing result)
can be selected depending on the program on the corresponding sensor key.
To complement this, there are programs for spin + rinsing or spinning (possibly ideal for hand washing, etc., and this works much more gently with the wool / handwash program in the machine) and a separate "soft spin" to max. 1200 revolutions.
Parental Control by pressing the Start / Nachlegetaste activate / deactivate.
Likewise, the solution is implemented using the reload function and super for me a highlight of the machine :-)
Who does not know, a piece of laundry has been forgotten, or something fell into the wash drum in there which should :-))
. With the elegant and simple reload the future is hardly a problem - the design very comfortable Not to mention the great door the loading and unloading of the machine.
Another highlight of Bosch is the end of time delay (finished in ...).
Example: Machine is at 8 clock filled u should be ready by 16 clock -> simply entered 8 hours.!
The machine will start accordingly and is by 16 clock ready :-) great feature!
After program end the door by the way u immediately. Unlocked without waiting u. Of the volume individually adjustable beep reminds a 3x, with a time lag of up to five times that the laundry is finished!
-> Contrary to other reviews can also disable the beep!
The wash / rinse u. Spin result is, in my view, convincing.
-------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------
But where there is light, is also known to shade, so here the points that I have noticed negative:
1. An annoying defect or even design flaw is the formation of droplets (condensation) to the detergent drawer -> dripping when opening, it almost always u to the ground almost always gets wet fingers when reach into the recessed grip, in extreme cases, troughs the drops while. washing may even on the down front panel -> Unfortunately, Bosch etc. no vapor barrier here installed, so that, especially at high washing temperatures, this unpleasant phenomenon occurs.
-> Lt. Statement of the Bosch hotline, this is a normal process which can occur especially at high washing temperatures and a cool storage place.
2. When the program is eg up to half the washing time progressed u. It is contrary to the spin speed first set but then carried out (without final spin) or a change in the spin speed a rinse stop, the machine display begins lt. All over again with the wash time! ! ?? -> Instead deduct the deselected spin on the term they added back washing time to incomprehensible u for me an absolute no go !!: -. ((
(In my case, 180 min. Hot / colored ecoPerfect program ran at 1400 rev., After 2 hrs. Run time I wanted to rinse hold / without final change u. The term jumped then 1 hr. At 2:45 min high !! ??)
-> Lt. Statement of the Bosch hotline, this time jumping in changes of the washing program, at an advanced washing course, programmatically determined so and carried out by the machine as a new election of the washing program.
How so what the endeavor of Bosch, absolutely energy-optimized devices, fits with "Green Technology Inside" to build, was, sometimes an open question :-)
3. The above-mentioned BSH typical noise level.
4. Pre-wash is only possible in the hot / colored and standard iron program. (For delicate fabrics, eg for curtains, not selectable)
5. A longer follow-up (anti-crease) after spinning also from the eco, speed and standard programs, especially in hochtourigem final spin would be desirable (linen glued here often to / in the drum), because the additional function "easy iron" flings only with max. 800 revolutions, which unnecessarily drives when using a dryer, the duration and the consumption in the air.
To sum up I can Bosch WAQ28440 therefore only conditionally good report with limitations issue, of a manufacturer who has known for decades. "White goods" produced u. Again and again also at Stiftung Warentest lands on the front seats, I have a little more " Know How "u. Perfection in detail awaits!
No question, the machine is good, not 100% thought through user-friendly but unfortunately with little things!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Addendum:
Because of the negative characteristics listed by me, I have decided not to keep or return the machine.
Kudos to Amazon, since this action without a hitch u. Of promptly furnish went.
