In addition to the standard set of Serie 6 features, such as Bosch’s handy, time-reducing SpeedPerfect mode and the upgraded drum design, dubbed VarioDrum, the big addition here is the AntiStain technology. This allows you to target four different stain types – oil, red wine, blood or grass. You select one stain type per programme and, according to Bosch, these modes supplement the standard modes by adjusting water temperature, drum movement and soaking times to maximise stain removal.

The Serie 6 WAU28R90GB acquitted itself well in these tests. Curiously, stain removal wasn’t on a par with best of last year’s Bosch machines but the differences weren’t night and day. All the stains on our test swatch were significantly faded at 40°C, and upping the temperature to 60°C saw the worst stains fade further still, albeit not (as noted) as much as on previous generations. The Bosch WAU28R90GB is designed with durability in mind. Constructed with premium quality materials, it ensures long-lasting performance and reliability. Furthermore, this washing machine is energy-efficient, helping you reduce your energy consumption and save on utility bills. Bosch has equipped the Serie 6 with a variety of features designed to prevent everything from water-related disasters to unwanted engineer call-outs.It’s a budget friendly washing machine that still offers plenty of the great features and technology seen in some of the pricier models. And despite the wallet friendly price tag, there’s no reduction in spin speed compared to other Bosch washing machines on this list. It’s highly rated online and users confirm the effectiveness of the EcoSilence drive motor with much praise for how quiet it is in operation. Plus, with plenty of wash programmes, including a special allergy setting and multiple fast wash options, it has a lot to offer for a mid-range machine. The Serie 6 WAU28R90GB sits in the middle of Bosch’s mid-range Serie 6 family. It offers a maximum spin speed of 1,400rpm, and the 9kg wash capacity is a welcome step up from Bosch’s Serie 4 ranges and below, which offer a maximum capacity of 8kg. Energy efficiency is a C rating on the new scale. ActiveWater™: reduces water consumption and costs thanks to the sensor-controlled, stepless automatic load adjustment system. We love the i-Dos automatic dosing feature which intelligently adds liquid detergent and fabric softener into the wash. All you have to do is fill up the tanks, which hold enough for up to 15 loads, and the machine will add the correct detergent dose to each wash.
