Washing Machine
I recently purchased a Bosch washing machine from The Good Guys Osborne Park and had a great experience from start to finish. The washing machine has been excellent so far — quiet, efficient, and very easy to use. It feels like a high-quality product and has exceeded my expectations. I would also like to thank Emma H from the Osborne Park store for her outstanding customer service. She was friendly, knowledgeable, and took the time to answer all my questions, helping me choose the right model for my needs without any pressure. It’s refreshing to receive such professional and genuine service. Thank you, Emma, and the team at Osborne Park for making the whole process smooth and enjoyable.

The Bosch Series 4 WAN28288AU is an 8 kg front load washer built for households that want reliable everyday washing, quiet operation and flexible cycles for mixed fabric types. It stands out for its 1400 rpm spin speed, AllergyPlus program and quick wash options, while its 4.5 star energy and 4 star water ratings support lower running costs.

Things to consider
This model focuses on dependable washing performance and practical programs, but it does not offer the advanced smart connectivity or larger capacity found on some premium front loaders.
Fabric care suitability score
8.5/10 - Strong program variety including Wool hand wash, delicates support and reload convenience for varied fabric care.
Water efficiency rating
4 star water rating
Family laundry fit
Well suited to small to medium families with an 8 kg drum and versatile everyday programs.
Noise level vs category average
8/10 - Quieter than many standard models thanks to the Eco Silence Drive motor.
Allergy suitability
8.5/10 - Includes an AllergyPlus cycle, making it a good option for households prioritising sensitive-skin laundry care.
Key benefits
- 8 kg Capacity: Handles everyday household washing with enough room for family-sized loads.
- 1400 rpm Spin Speed: Extracts more water at the end of the cycle to help reduce drying time.
- SpeedPerfect: Helps wash clothes faster when you need clean items in less time.
- Eco Silence Drive: Supports quieter day-to-day washing with low-noise motor operation.
- AllergyPlus Program: Adds a dedicated cycle suited to households wanting more thorough care for sensitive skin and allergen reduction.
- SuperQuick 15/30 Programs: Gives you fast turnaround options for lightly soiled clothing and urgent laundry needs.
- ActiveWater Plus: Adjusts water use to the load size and is backed by a 4 star water rating.
- 4.5 Star Energy Rating: Delivers strong wash performance with a 4.5 star Australian Energy Rating for lower ongoing power use.
Q: Is the Bosch WAN28288AU 8kg capacity large enough for family washing and bedding?
A: Yes. An 8kg drum suits everyday family washing and can usually handle queen-size sheet sets and towels in one load. For bulky items like doonas, capacity depends on the item’s weight and how freely it can move in the drum.
Q: What is the difference between SpeedPerfect and the SuperQuick 15 or 30 minute cycles on this Bosch washer?
A: SpeedPerfect shortens selected full wash programs while aiming to keep the same cleaning result, which is useful for regular mixed laundry. SuperQuick 15 or 30 is better for small, lightly soiled loads when speed matters more than full-program flexibility.
Q: How practical is the Reload function on the Bosch WAN28288AU?
A: It is useful for forgotten socks, shirts or small items after a cycle has started. Reload works by pausing the wash, but access can be limited if the water level is high or the temperature is too hot for the door to open safely.
Q: Will the ActiveWater Plus system make a noticeable difference on smaller loads?
A: Yes. ActiveWater Plus adjusts water use to the size of the load instead of filling for a full drum every time, which helps with smaller weekday washes. The benefit is strongest when the machine is not packed to its full 8kg capacity.
Q: Is this Bosch front load washer a good option if the laundry is near bedrooms or living areas?
A: Yes. The EcoSilence Drive is designed for quieter running than a traditional brushed motor, so it is better suited to homes where noise matters. Spin cycles are still the noisiest part, especially at 1400 rpm and on hard floors.
Q: How much space should I allow for the Bosch WAN28288AU in a laundry cabinet or alcove?
A: The machine itself is 845mm high, 598mm wide and 632mm deep, so the recess must be larger than that. Allow extra room for the door swing, hoses and ventilation, because tight cabinetry can make loading and connections awkward.
