Quiet and efficient
I have had this machine for over 3 years, very quiet, washes well with handy function of timer, adjustable spin, temp etc. Dryer takes a long time but I've rarely had to use it. Excellent to have one machine that does it all, without condensation build up of a traditional dryer. Perfect for my small family

What a Waste of Money
Brought this for the auto wash dry cycle, put it on in the morning come home to dry cloths, hasn't happened yet.
Using cottons cycle and setting it to extra dry, the machine shuts of after about 1 hour into its dry cycle on sensor dry and the cloths are still no where near cupboard dry.
Have tried a number of settings and found only one works and that is mixed cycle.
1st week asked for help from the supplier able appliances and 2 weeks before they can send someone. Bosch tech came out and told me best he does nothing and I exchange the unit?

Build quality
Replaced our trusted Samsung front loader after many years of usage with this Bosch WVH28490AU as this one has a washer dryer combo.
No difference in wash quality, but within 11 months we noticed water leaking from the washing machine. We could not identify the source of the problem, after a week or so, we noticed a tiny breakage in the rubber seal, didn't occur to us that this is the cause of water leakage...
After few more days we are noticing that the rubber seal is starting to disintegrate and we know that this is resulting in water leak....Read more
Rubber seal disintegration starts @ the point where the glass door is contacting the rubber seal. Lodged a service call with Bosch and they said it would take few days for repairs. But, It's has been more than a week now after lodging a service call, this is yet to be assessed and or repaired... and luckily, we reconnected our old Samsung washing machine to wash our clothes. I searched on internet and found numerous threads related to Bosch washing machine's rubber seal problems. This seems to be a common problem with this brand https://forums.whirlpool.net.au/archive/2217839 this thread goes as far as 2010 mentioning same/similar rubber seal problems. These threads contain information from various countries not just Australian one's with same and or similar problems. Surely, someone would have thought of addressing this problem after almost a decade of knowing about this problem, instead of blaming customers on incorrect usage. But the cost of fix seems to be almost one fifth the cost of this machine. Never had this particular problem with my trusty Samsung front loader though.Purchased in July 2021 at The Good Guys for $1,527.00.

Great Machine - Small Loads But Great Quality Wash
Worked well for around 3 weeks then threw an error message. It took 5 business days to get a tech out to us but the issue was resolved quickly.
Excellent service from the tech so I have changed my poor review to a good one. I'm happy with the machine and the job it does. Be aware that the lint comes out of the drain hose from the wash and dry cycles and check your outlet pipes regularly to ensure you don't have blockages.

Worthless.
Brought this machine after the last one broke after 15 years.
After connecting everything up I get an E-23 code and need a technician to fix.
After being on hold for hours I finally get through to be told I now have to wait 3 weeks with a washing machine.

Dryer uses water to condense steam
Love Bosch as a brand and have had many appliances over the years, but not happy with my latest purchase.
Model I just bought is WVG28420AU, washer dryer combo. I am now aware due to a sticker on the front of the machine (nothing in online specs except the manual!) that the dryer uses an additional 23L of water for the condenser to work, so watch out if you care about your water consumption, or you're on tank water - well, this is Australia.....
Also, drying takes
approximately 2.5hours, and you can't just pop a couple of damp things to dry off. They come out wetter, believe it or not....
Also....the door won't open until drying load is cool, which takes another hour...
Washing function is Bosch-perfect, shame about the dryer! ...Read more

Keeps giving errors on screen. Crap at drying
Compared to a dedicated drier, this is a very poor attempt at drying. Annoyingly it can wash more than it can dry, so if doing a big wash, we have to remove clothes and hang some to let the drier work peoperly. After 2 years of putting up with average results, it seems the pump has.blown as it keeps stopping mid cycle and giving us "error18" messages.

Pricey but worth it - time and space saver
Very pleased with this washer/dryer combo. Runs quiet and cleans clothes well. Pricey but still cheaper than a separate washer and dryer. Takes up less space as well. Doesn't require any ducting which made installation a breeze. I like using the timer function to wash/dry using off-peak electricity. The auto mode (wash/dry) is the best thing ever. I've owned this machine for over a year now and no problems.
Mild criticisms:
Dryer sometimes finishes before the clothes are bone-dry. Which is probably good for the clothes, but it means airing th...Read more
em on the drying rack. I'd like a "roast the clothes into cinders" mode. Wash capacity is greater than drying capacity. So to use the automatic wash/dry sequence you must do half-loads. Or remove part of a washed full load before manually starting the dry cycle. Drain filter is a pain to clean. Lint filter is pretty easy though.Purchased in January 2021 at The Good Guys.

Perfect job every time.
I cannot fault this appliance. It does all it promises. It is quiet, it runs efficiently, the clothes come out clean and the dryer woks well with no annoying issues. I'd suggest that people read and understand the instructions carefully. It has loads of features. Admittedly, I only use a few of them, but that seems common for most washers. It does great job with delicate clothing and rinses thoroughly.

Takes huge loads and washes well
Bosch have really taken off. I own a dish washer which is great so when out old washer packed in we bought this cloths washer. It's very power and water saving and pretty easy to load, set and then come back and unload. Multiple settings for different type of cloths. What got us by surprise is how much cloths it can hold and wash in one go!

Great combination washer / dryer
I was very reluctant to get a front loader (a nasty experience watching £200 disintegrate in a front loader when living in the UK many years ago). However due to space issues in my new place I got this combination - after much research.
I have found it very easy to use. Obviously it takes longer than a top loader, and the dryer takes longer than my previous one, but really not too bad.
Super quiet! And doesn't need vibration mat or pads - does it all itself!
Only requires cold tap input as it heats its own water.

You get what you pay for
Super quiet operation. Gentle on clothes. I like the timer display.
First use the soap dispenser didn't dissolve the powder properly because the blue flap for liquid detergent fell into the way.
I would never buy a machine this expensive but this one came with a new property purchase. The quality is evident compared to the cheaper Thai-made models (which are very good regardless).

The best machine for apartment living.
Washes well, has child lock and plenty of wash options. Works well as dryer, so very good in an apartment with no clothesline access. Door is solid, liquid dispenser works well.
I would certainly recommend this machine as space saver.
Classy appearance and easy to use. I'm very happy with this purchase.

Thank you Bosch
I am not able to edit so I am re issuing the review. The washer dryer has been repaired and is now functioning satisfactorily, thank you. Bosch has also agreed to pay for repairs to the cabinet water damage from the leak, 2 quotes have been obtained.
I would have liked the product replaced but I understand that all you have to do is repair it under your warranty obligations. So, overall, I am happy with the outcome and I want to say thank you for making things right for us.

quite & smart
the cleaning function is quite good, and it is also quite quiet while spinning on 1400. the auto drying function is quite good, but the clothes are still damp is you put thick clothes in the machine. I tried to dry 3 hoodies, after 1.5 hours, they are still quite damp.
this combo's size is perfect for a small laundry room, it also has a small device to prevent water leaking and water hammer.
Don't compare its drying capability with a separated dryer, if you don;t have a large laundry room. this will be the best choice

We replaced our Electrolux Washer/Dryer Combo after 8 years because the drying function stopped working and could no longer be fixed. We are so happy with this machine. Is very quiet, gentle on clothes on all cycles. Dries well and gently too, with few wrinkles. Lovely fluffy towels - yeah!

Great value washer/dryer
Cleans and drys well. Seems gentle with clothes on any of the wash cycles. Great range of washing modes and customisation within each mode. Love, love, love the 1400rpm spin cycle which speeds up drying on the washing line. Really happy with this machine especially as we live in a flat and it saves space by not needing a seperate drier.

A Very Good Washer with Average Dryer
We bought this washing machine / dryer combo over three months ago from Good Guys. We are very happy with the washer - short cycles, good spin speeds, less water usage and very quiet. However, the drum size is smaller to hold 8 kg load. I would have given 4 stars if dryer is as good as washer.

How long is the normal wash and dry cycle?

Hi Sher,
Thanks for the question regarding the Bosch WVH28490AU.
The cottons Eco wash cycle (max 8kg) is approximately 4.5 hours although there are cycles with the speed perfect option that can be as quick as 30-40 minutes. The drying cycles (max 4kg) can take anywhere from 2 hours, depending on the size of the load and the desired state of dryness.
