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?

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.

Hi
I have just bought a Bosch Waw28460 front loader washing machine and can’t seem to find out in the instruction book if this model has aqua stop

Hi Belinda, this unit only has Aqua Secure not Aqua Stop so it only detects a leak within the inlet hose, not within the appliance itself.

Serie 8 WAW28460AU

I currently have a top loader but prior to this one I bought a cheap front loader, I think it was a Whirlpool. It was terrible, the loads took forever to wash and had no quick wash options. I have been doing some research on a new machine as this one is on it's last legs. I have a Bosch Dishwasher and am very happy with it's performance. It's just my husband and me now but when we have family stay, usually 8 adults and 5 grand children, I need to be washing towels, sheets and lots of coloured everyday loads. I think the main reason I feel hesitant to buy another front loader is the time the loads take. My question is....should I buy a front loader or a top loader?

Hi Julie, the Bosch has super quick washes down to 15mins which might help. Front loaders have more position options in a laundry than top loaders too. Spend the money on something decent if you can, it will probably turn out cheaper in the long run

Thank you Rich for your response. It's always good to hear what people have to say when purchasing costly items like a washing machine.
