The Bosch WAQ283S1GB has many great and beneficial features which help make it one of the best machines on the market and also one of the most efficient washing machines, too with an A+++ energy rating. The machine also has a 8kg drum with a 1400rpm spin and comes with a Bosch standard 2 year guarantee.
One of this Bosch’s main features on the washing machine is something you can’t see – or hear – and that is The EcoSilence drive motor. The brushless motor is quieter, faster and it’s powerful, too. Using advanced technology, the EcoSilence drive achieves maximum power with minimum energy loss. The EcoSilence drive motor is 35% more efficient than a standard motor and uses up to 30% less energy. It’s also a lot quieter because of its brushless motor, which means high frequency motor brush noise is eliminated. The design of the Eco Silence drive means very low wear and tear, giving a long life expectancy. It also takes less time to reach top performance compared to many other washers.
Some more features which make this machine one of the best on the market are:
ActiveWater+ – The active water+ setting on this machine helps you experience the perfect wash, regardless of the load size as the machine weighs your washing and uses the correct amount of water to that wash, meaning lower water consumption – so cheaper bills!
RELOAD – The reload feature is an absolutely brilliant feature of the newer Bosch washing machines. The reload function allows you to pause the wash, let the door unlock and then put the right clothing in and carry on with the cycle you have chosen. It’s not just forgotten socks that this is great for; the reload setting is also useful if you have mistakenly put something white in with colours, then you are able to pause and remove the item from that wash. No more pink football kit!
SpeedPerfect – Depending on the programme selected you can reduce wash times by up to 60%. The SpeedPerfect option can be combined with all programmes except Super Quick 15 and Wool.
EcoPerfect – If you have time available or are going to be out then selecting the EcoPerfect option will save up to 60% on energy by increasing the programme running time.
AquaPlus – Using this option adds a higher level of water throughout the wash and the rinse cycles. Items like bedding that go into the washing machine may leave detergent behind on the fabric so adding extra water to the cycle/wash will help get rid of this. This is a particularly useful feature for delicate skin.
Child lock – When activated this prevents the child from accidentally changing the any of the washing programmes on the machine.
Anti-Vibration design – This design helps with greater stability and also makes it a lot quieter. Put the machine on at night, safe in the knowledge you won’t wake the kids!
When you use pre-set programmes on a washing machine you want them to be simple and easy to locate & operate while still retaining the adaptability to use special options which are already pre-set but can be manually changed by you to suit the needs of your home. This machine does all that – and more. The six regular programmes, with temperatures ranging from 20 degrees to 90 degrees, can all be altered to suit your individual laundry needs. For example, you can select a 20 degree wash on a 400rpm spin which is a gentle option for items which are a bit more delicate.
This Bosch washing machine also comes with five special programmes such as easy care, delicate/silks, wool and a dedicated jeans programme, which washes your denim with care by using a variation of temperatures and spins to protect that type of clothing whilst ensuring that the tough fabric does not retain any dirt.
A programme that really appeals to me is the super quick fifteen minute quick wash. This is particularly useful if you haven’t got a lot of washing to put into your machine or if you have clothes that aren’t essentially dirty but need a quick clean and freshening up.
All-in-all this machine represents truly impressive performance and quality from a well-known brand.
