Bosch WAN28281GB 1400 Spin 8Kg Washing Machine Demo

[@shirleytaylor4562]

Just bought this machine and am delighted with it. I read the manual thoroughly before putting on my first wash. It has just finished and the results are really good. I then found your demo and it's so easy to follow. Thanks so much. I wouldn't normally use all the options but your explanation makes it easy to understand. I particularly like the speed perfect facility and as an economy 7 user, I will also use the night facility so that my washing is ready to be tumble dried when I get up, meaning I can also dry my washing within the economy 7 time slot

[@mutleeblue]

I’m so pleased to see your video . Just called out my engineer to see why my washer wasn’t working . I had put on the child lock by putting the washing on top of the machine and it dropped over the front . Didn’t realise what I had done . My man who fixes all my appliances saw the funny side . Thought I’d got some children in lol I’m 72 . The Manuals don’t help . Today I couldn’t get my bath mats to spin . Tried three time . That’s why I’m watching you . Thank you never to old to learn .

[@GundogJake]

Very good informative demo of the functionality. I’ve had this machine a few months, and really only scratched the surface of its abilities, so thanks for your clear simple explanations, so much better than the slightly jumbled instruction manual.

[@lords-electrical]

Glad to hear it was useful, thanks for the feedback

[@RLWBragg]

My machine has been installed today and your video has demystified the manual which contains a lot of information. Very good video.

[@sarahneedham]

Bought this washing machine last week and it's the best machine I have ever owned. It replaced a Hoover washer which only lasted 6 years! Wish I'd gone with the Bosch back then.

[@lords-electrical]

Always good to hear, i am sure you will get many years of use out of this machine.

[@hilarywatts2628]

Such a helpful video Thank You. My last manual machine ( Electrolux), was so well looked after, trouble free, 28 years old, has finally died. After lots of research I came up with this brand & model, ordered today. Will receive in a few days, so your video has informed me with useful instruction. Hope all will be a good purchase.

[@GK-qc5ry]

Thank you for explaining that the 3:26 program can actually be shorter than this. That convinced me that I'll be okay with a Bosch.

[@PeterGaunt]

Had one of these installed a few days ago having watched your video beforehand so I knew what to expect. It replaced an 26 year old Indesit so I had a few things to learn. First thing I've learned is that it's probably a bit too big for a single person although I have yet to try and wash my duvet so I may well change my mind on that. Second thing I've learned, now that I've tried a few programs, is that this thing is a lot more versatile than my old one. I think that, for the price, it lacks one thing: buttons labelled 'heavy', 'normal', 'light' or better still three extra selector positions with the same labels. I washed two heavy acrylic jumpers earlier on 'Woollens' - took 40 minutes and and it's done a really good job. Thanks for the video. Much better than the manual.

[@lords-electrical]

Thanks for the feedback, hope you enjoy the washer

[@Mortthemoose]

Thanks for your comment. Buying a new washing machine, after 18-20 years (which is how long my little 5.5kg Ariston has lasted), is a bloomin' nightmare! Your comment about being a single person made me sit up and take notice, as i too am a single person household, but to complicate things, I still have my old super king size bed, with the huge super king fleece throws and fleece bottom/top sheets! Washing day for my bedding has been a nightmare with the little 5.5kg machine, as it has to do soooo many loads! I am 99% sure that I'm going to get this 8kg machine. I really should probably get the 7kg version, but it doesn't have as many handy features as this one, and is a D rated machine, compared to this C rated (A++ in the old system) one, so I am hoping it will kind of even out.

[@shalehajalal47]

Just received my Bosch washing machine today. It's my first time using front loading washing machine! Glad I came across your informative video! Tqvm. 🙏

No problem, glad this was useful for you, hopefully you will enjoy the new machine

[@MuhammadAli-hr1bj]

Me too, replaced a bosch excel after 17.5 years.

[@paulac4917]

Very informative and I too had not bothered to read the manual! I found out today however, having put a bath mat in the machine on its own to wash, when the machine stopped the bathroom was wringing wet. I rang Bosch Customer Service department and it turns out that the machine will not spin with a load of less than 2kg as apparently this affects the stability of the drum. A bit annoying as my last Bosch machine spun any amount of machine or hand-washed loads. Although the more sophisticated and technical the machine, the capabilities are still limited. Don't know about anyone else, but I also got caught out on the "child safety lock" facility when I couldn't open the door on one occasion. This resulted on an earlier call to Bosch who talked me through how to release this though I wasn't aware I had activated it. Great demonstration.

[@Mortthemoose]

Ohhh! The 2kg thing is worth knowing! Thank you. What was your last machine, that spun smaller quantities?

[@lindaj5492]

Oh! Going to check my manual for child lock…

[@laluna2264]

Thanks for this very helpful video. My washing machine wasn't bought in an Anglophone country so this video was much appreciated. Greetings from Finland 🇫🇮💙

[@christinesaville3422]

Excellent description of what appears to be a sophisticated machine. Delightful man who described everything very well. My machine was installed a couple of days ago. Without the video I might've struggled to use it. My only worry is It completely depends on the instruction panel working

[@chrismacdonald.6295]

Thank you so much for this review. I have a Hotpoint WMF540 Aquarius, 10 years old since I moved into my house, it served me well. Yet, I’m flabbergasted by the wash times of some of these new machines. I live alone and all I want is a simple machine with simple quick wash programes. I think this will fit the bill. Thanks again. (Really must invest in a laundry weighing machine, who really knows how much their machine wash weighs?)

[@willweymar7555]

Thankyou for your very helpful tour of the Bosch front loader! I had my new 10kg machine installed yesterday, after my 22 year old Simpson top loader called it a day. I have found the information provided by Bosch to be inadequate, and really had no idea of what programs to use, or how the weight/time etc worked. My machine is quiet, and the first few loads seem to have washed well, though I think I should've selected a hotter temp for the bath towels, as they didn't smell as fresh as I'd hoped after a 1 hour cycle. Drying in them in the beautiful Australian sun will fix that. Thanks again.

[@lords-electrical]

That's great to hear, hope you get on well with your new washing machine

I found your video very informative. I currently have a Bosch Exccel 7 VarioPerfect which is quite a few years old and has just started to have a fault. It stops mid wash, as though the power has gone off, but then tested a couple of times after and was ok. I am looking to buy another Bosch and like the quick wash option, so I like the look of this model.

Thank you for the informative video much better than the manual. Great machine but the pump noise is loud it’s louder than the spin, and the spin is pretty quiet even at 1400rpm. Referring to pump sound just prior to, during and after final spin. I have now been informed the pump noise is a common problem with Bosch? Unfortunately I live in open plan flat so it’s noisy.

Yes, follow the instructions on the bottle, and it should take it into the program at the required time

Thank you for this informative and well-done video! I just replaced my 20 year old Bosch with this one but am disappointed with some charcteristics. My question is: how to remove or reduce the spin for the wool cycle? Thank you.

[@lords-electrical]

On the Woolen cycle it will reduce the spin speed anyway, but there should be a Spin button on the machine, where you can reduce the spin speed of each program.

[@gesualdodavenosa8550]

@@lords-electrical Thank you!

[@cmfrtblynmb02]

btw thank you for this video. I wanted to see the programs available before buying this machine.

[@Mortthemoose]

I've just bought this machine. Thank you very much for your clear, concise information. QUESTIONS: I didn't have/or use pre-wash on my old machine, but I AM interested in using it now however, I'm finding the manual rather confusing! I have only done one wash so far, and used my liquid detergent in a washing ball (which I don't like doing). Tonight however, I've installed the wee blue measure, so I can just pour it into the drawer. The manual seems to say that you can't use liquid detergent in the drawer, if you are also doing a pre-wash.....so what do you do? Also, my Ecover liquid detergent doesn't mention anything about pre-wash amounts. Any idea? I'm using 50ml per load. Also...I AM interested in the AllergyPlus mode, but again, can't quite work out what it's for. Will it kill dustmites in bedding? I have fleece bedding, which can be washed at 40°, but can you actually alter the temperature on the AllergyPlus program to 40°? What do you do if you have a synthetic load (with a mix of cottons and synthetics), but they need a REALLY good wash? Thank you PS....I plan to use the Eco mode for my towels and tea towels, but I do disagree with your comment about "most things can be washed up to 60°". I would never wash anything other than towels/teatowels or good quality cotton sheets on 60°. It would shrink most clothing.

[@momacnally5305]

I bought this machine yesterday and this video made it a lot simpler to understand than the manual, however can you explain when the Cotton Intensive programme would be used?

[@lords-electrical]

Any intensive programmes are normally used for very dirty washes where a long wash is needed. For normal everyday washes, you shouldn't need the intensive washes. Thanks for the feedback

[@paulbrowne6087]

I have this exact model but it won't drain after a cycle. I've checked all the hoses to make sure they are not kinked, I've checked the filter to make sure it spins freely and there nothing blocking it yet the drum is half full of water at the end of a cycle.

[@swedishkev]

Hello mate, just bought a new bosch washing machine 9kg 6 series. . I put it on 35 mins 40 degrees, 1200 spin, first time wash. It only done 400 spin, l definately put it on 1200, l did pause it at the start to put a sock in . Thought how strange, in the manual 15/30 minute wash has a max 1200 spin. Any thoughts. I guess if it happens on next wash, it would need to go back and if it works, then forget about it.

[@lords-electrical]

I'm not sure to be honest, it does sound odd that it should reduce the spin speed on its own. I would try it again perhaps with a full load in on the 1200 spin and hope it works properly. If not try just a spin only program to see if it will spin at 1200 rpm on its own.

[@swedishkev]

@@lords-electrical ok, l did spin at 1200 because it was too wet after 400. It worked, l will have to try the 30 min program again and see. Thanks.

[@swedishkev]

@@lords-electrical can l ask you another question, l put a load on the mix for one hour 1400 spin .l checked it when there should of been 10 mins left, but there was 25 mins, perhaps it sensed that it was perhaps 5 kgs instead of max 4kgs,could this be the case.??

[@ASMR_Andy]

@@swedishkev Yes, what it will do is to monitor the load that should be in the machine and adjust the wash time accordingly. It could also be that if too much detergent is put in the wash then the machine will generate too many suds in the program. What the machine will need to do is to add an extra rinse at the end of the wash to compensate for the extra foam in the machine.

[@yulitategowski5678]

Thanks for the information 😊

[@MendozaMichelle100]

Does the machine automatically detects laundry weight? Does it warns you if you overloaded the machine?

It doesn't detect the laundry weight, it will sense the load size by sending a small amount of water through and depending on how much is saturated, it will have an idea on the load size

SOS! And if I don't want mashine to spin, if I need really wet soaked curtains to get out - what to do?!

[@lords-electrical]

Not sure i understand the question, but if you need to remove the curtains from the machine before spinning, then you can normally just change the spin speed mid program to reduce the spin. if it all goes wrong and you just need to cancel the program, then you can just move the program to spin and drain, to get rid of the water in the machine and start again.

[@colombianita256]

Does this machine dry clothes as well? If so, is there a specific dryer programme? It has been mentioned online as washer-dryer but I see contradicting reviews?

[@lords-electrical]

This model is just a washing machine so there are no drying facilities. You would need to go for something like the WVG30462 as this is one of the main washer dryers that Bosch offer.

[@smudger671]

One thing you didn't mention was if the 1400 spin speed could be selected to over ride slower spin speeds which are selected by default in some programmes. Good review though, and much more informative than the Bosch website. One other thing, does the machine have a spin only facility rather than rinse and spin?

[@lords-electrical]

You can change the spin speed on most programmes, but if you select the wool programme, then you wouldn't be able to select a 1400 spin, so it is flexible but there are some limitations to what you can do.

[@smudger671]

@@lords-electrical Well, you can change the spin speed, but not increase it above the default setting which is a bit silly. One other thing worth mentioning is that the spin speed is not displayed when you select a programme - you need to press the spin button to display the spin speed, which is a bit annoying. I get the impression that the person who designed this machine never actually uses it!

[@madniaqaa]

I bought this machine last week, however my bathroom mats come out soaking wet, all other load is fine. Any ideas why this could be ?

[@lords-electrical]

Yes, it will be that the machine cannot balance the load, as it is a large weight over one side of the drum. What you need to do is to put some other bits in the machine at the same time as the bath mat and this will help to distribute the load evenly and it will spin fine
