Here the most important thing in the near future (the technical data therefore stand up in the product description and are already in it at this point will not be repeated by me):
- The operation is very easy: just insert the plug, turn on the water tap, set the desired program on the program selector and clicking the display nor the fine settings (temperature for washing, number of revolutions during the spin cycle); if necessary. Set additional options if needed on display
- A child safety device is available (this I do not need, but is in itself a good thing!)
- The laundry is very clean (okay, that one may expect of a new washing machine also) and the washing is loosened up after spinning pleasantly in the drum
- There are many different programs to choose from, but I can not try them all; the programs vary considerably in their respective period. Since I have to wash often only very small dirty clothes, I use most frequently the program "Minimum iron 40 ° C" or "Minimum iron 60 ° C". This usually takes one and a half hours, but the duration may vary slightly depending on the filling level of the machine. Most other programs take longer!
- There are also a short program (duration 30 min.) And an extra short program (duration 15 min.) Available, which I find very convenient
- Exceedingly helpful is the remaining time display in the display (the remaining time displayed may vary by a few minutes)
- And now the best news of all: during centrifuging this machine is really pleasantly quiet! I was completely surprised at how smooth and quiet the spin with this machine proceeds. My old washing machine has made a noise during the spin cycle, which was heard two stories about me and my neighbors regularly stood with me on the mat ...
- Of course, at this machine - like today's models usual - also an Aqua-Stop system available: an ingenious invention that I did not want to miss!
A few very minor points I have, however, also be attached. However, this fall so minimal the weight that they have resulted in my overall rating to deduct only a single star:
- I miss the Bosch WAB 28220 the temperature-choice 50 ° C (in this machine must be between 40 ° C or 60 ° C decide my old machine had but offer also 50 ° C washing temperature, what I have often used . 40 ° C are to me for some laundry to little temperature, and 60 ° C, in turn, a little too hot ...
- The noise during washing is mediocre loud or quietly mediocre - as you can see it; means: it does not just wash loud rather "normal", but a little louder than I had expected for a brand new washing machine. But it is during the spin cycle - as already written above - super pleasantly quiet!
- The spin cycle in the "Drain / Spin" program only lasts about six minutes, the number of revolutions can -. As already mentioned - the display of 400 over 600, 800, 1,000, 1,200 are elected to 1,400 even. Very much rather I had here two different spin programs available: "gentle spin" (only two min.) And "Normal Spin" (eight min.). So it was with my source machine, and this choice of length of skidding I miss in this machine very. A call to the very friendly Bosch Service Center showed that the duration of the spinning cycles really can not be selected itself, but is prescribed. The regulation / selection of "gentle spin" or "Normal spin" is not here to make the duration of the spinning cycles, but the number of revolutions per minute for a fixed period of time. Because I still have to get used to halt.
Nevertheless, all in all a really good machine at an unbeatable price and thus very strong buy recommendation from me!
