Is the Bosch Series 4 WAN28258GB worth it?
Yes, for one to three people who want a simple Bosch.
It's the same Bosch Series 4 as the 9 kg WAN28259GB with a kilo less in the drum: 1400 spin, A energy rating, a quiet spin, Iron Assist, Reload and a 5-year guarantee when you register it, with no app or screen menus to learn. Owners mostly praise how quiet it is and the choice of programmes. The complaint that comes up most is the spin: short and quick programmes spin gently, and some owners find clothes come out wetter than their old machine left them. No independent test we can read has been published, so this verdict rests on Bosch's specs and verified owner reviews.

What owners say
Owners love how quiet it is and the programmes. The common complaint is clothes coming out wetter than expected.
Good to know
- Quick and short programmes spin gently, so some owners add an extra spin.
- A few find the right programme and spin settings hard to work out.
- The large door sticks out past the body when open, and the dial is easy to knock.
- A couple noticed a smell after washes in the first weeks.
