A second time buy this product
This is a second same product I bought. The first one I used for one year and sold due to job relocation in different city. Before I bought one in months ago I was using samsung Top loaded washing machine as I want to wait this product price drop. The top load washing machine is annoying, first during the spinning, the body shaking even it sits stable on the floor. Second it tears and wears clothes, especially the collars. Fortunately it was on sale in DJ, and I bought it in again. It is quiet running and not damage clothes like the top load one. It is has more models to select for different fabrics. Made in Germany and I expect it will work a long time. I am happy with energy rating which will save a lot compared with top load unit.

Great washing machine
This is my first BOSCH washing machine, and first front loader. I’ve had it for 4 years now and still running like a dream. I wash a lot of delicates (silk, woollens etc) and have had no trouble with keeping them safe during wash cycles. I also wash a lot of baby and kids clothes, and have had no dramas with getting those back to white. Its also quiet while running, and user friendly. Definitely happy with this purchase.

Easy to use
Has a very high energy rating which means it uses less water and costs less to run. Washes my clothes on the shorter cycle most of the time I wash everything in the washing machine including delicates and woollens. I am very satisfied with the features and controls, including the flexibility to change wash cycles to suit my clothes. I bought the machine made in Germany.

Seems to be going well so far
My Electrolux time saver front loader died after only 8 years. It seemed as though the motor was stuffed as it just was doing strange things and not working. A quick look at the Choice website & magazine found a washing machine article. To date, I have not had any issues with Bosch products. There was a Bosch washing machine that made the recommended list. But as this was an urgent purchase (i.e. the weekend) and I needed a machine quickly. Unfortunately I couldn't get the model I wanted which was the WAT series. This one was just outside the r...Read more
ecommended list but only by a few percentage points. Not statistically significant. Got a good price on it & home delivered. In the shop & out of the box it looks good. Instruction book is comprehensive. A word of warning to the uninitiated, a Bosch product without the 'Made in Germany' sticker on it is not made in Germany if that is important to you. It was to me. This machine is overly complicated with technology. I miss the old electro-mechanical operated machines. This machine gives so many options that I am always referring to the operation manual until I get used to using it. The only gripe that I have is that the power cord in only 1.3 metres long. I had to use a short extension cord to get power to it where I have it in my laundry. A minor but surprising thing. However, the display is easy to understand, the anti flood inlet hose is good. The spin speed options are great and it is very quiet when operating. I get a bit of shock through the water pipes of the house when the inlet valves shut during operation. Cleaning seems to be good to date. Lots of washing program options but you have to understand the weight of clothes that you can put in as per the manual when selecting a particular washing setting. Cold water input only, but that is not an issue for me. Motor guarantee is 10 years, but only 2 years on the electronics, which is why I miss the electro-mechanical switches of earlier machines. On the whole, this seems to be a good washing machine, but as with most things, time will tell.Purchased in February 2021 at The Good Guys for $984.00.

Constantly leaks, broken one year out of warranty
I have purchased all my appliances in Bosch. I have had either defects, breakdowns or problems with all of them. My very expensive microwave constantly beeps. My dishwasher constantly gets locked into cycles I can't turn off, or only turns on half the time. My dryer scratches after only 2 years, and it constantly turns itself off when the clothes are still wet.
Now my Bosch washing machine, which leaks incessantly by the way, has died after only 2.5 years. Luckily I have bought an extension warranty, however I am being told I have have to wait...Read more

It worked great untill it broke down. I have purchased extended warranty from David Jones so I hope that the repair will be quick and reliable. I have to wait till Monday to get someone to talk to me about repairs. I expected better quality and durability from Bosch.

Design fault
We have had the service man to this machine twice and now require a 3rd visit. And we purchased it 12months ago. The design of the pump filter cap won't open if there is something caught behind it. Eg button coins etc. The cap has now snapped due to blockages. We are looking for another machine as the service fees add up to a new one! It's a shame as we have no issues with the machines ability to wash clothes.

Good machine, but capacity is a bit untrue.
Hey Bosch, this is an 8kg washing machine. Why can you only put 8kg of in the machine on the cotton cycles? All the other cycles on this machine have a lower capacity. Am I missing something here? This does not make any sense.

Almost perfect.
I really like this machine which replaced my Asko. It washes well, is very quiet, and has a good selection of different wash cycles. My only negative is that almost all of our clothes are wash and wear type and have never had creases in them when they have come out of the machine. However even on the lowest spin cycle possible they end up with creases which is annoying because they are fabrics which can’t be ironed.

Should have bought one sooner
Our Samsung WF1752WPC we bought in late 2013 has done OK but it was loud and shook that end of the house when on spin. It came up with an E3 error 3 times which we fixed twice at our expense but when it came up a third time we thought that was it. I sought reviews of a good front loader from this site and the Bosch WAW28460AU came up trumps. So we bought it from Good Guys for $911 plus $239 for 5 yr warranty and delivery. So far we couldn't be happier, super quite and has very quick cycles.

Very good washing machine
This is a good washing machine. I would prefer the default temperature on the mix cycle to be cold rather than warm but that's a minor thing. It was pretty expensive but I am pretty confident that it will last longer than the Made in China ones. I also like how they have an option on most cycles to use less water in exchange for more time.

Can't get detergent quite right, please help!
I am finding it very hard to judge the correct amount of detergent to use in my Bosch. I have never done a full 8 kg load, I usually wash light colours one day and dark the next. Have fiddled with different amounts of detergent, but judging by my towels, I am still using too much. Everything else about my machine is just great except this problem. Hope you can help[.

Hi Ivy,
Thanks for your question regarding the Bosch WAW28460AU.
If you press the speed perfect button (bottom left of the display) this will get the cycle completed as soon as possible but will use more energy and water. See page 14 of your user manual to see what other cycles can use this option.
If you need any more help, feel free to contact us on 1300 369 744.

Darryl S.asked
The instruction manual of WAW28460AU suggests turning off the tap after each use? Is this required? The machine has aqua secure? what does that do?
3 answers
I don’t turn off the tap after each wash. Works well for me
I always do this with any washing machine that I have. It is good practice as it takes the pressure off the inlet pipe, so that if it bursts or a water connection fails, then the amount of water that can escape is greatly minimized.
Bosch H.Bosch Home Appliances
Hi Darryl,
Thanks for your question regarding the Bosch WAW28460AU.
Turning off the tap is an extra safety measure. The Aqua secure is a device to assist with flooding but in the unlikely event it fails, turning off the tap will mitigate the risk.
