Spin speed is another feature you should look out for in quality washing machines. However, the note that a machine “runs at 1400rpm” doesn’t mean it will do so all the time. Things might vary in practice, depending on how the machine runs and how much energy it consumes.

We love how AEG ProSense keeps the outfit looking as good as new after every wash. Special sensors in the drum determine the fabric type and the exact settings that leave them spotlessly clean. It also monitors each washing cycle to reduce over washing. This way, your clothes can stay vibrant and last longer. 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. Bosch Serie 6 WAU28R90GB review: Price and competition Another useful feature is the ProSmart – a brushless inverter motor that keeps this appliance quiet when in use and will help it last a lot longer, making it a sound investment. If energy efficiency is a priority, then you’ll need to look towards Bosch’s Serie 8 range for A– and B-rated machines – or turn your attention to the ranges from other manufacturers. Feature IconOur ActiveWater Plus technology delivers perfect results while only using the precise amount of water needed for every wash - even with small loads. The integrated sensors automatically adjust the water consumption according to the fabric type and load size.The AutoStain programme allows you to select the stain type from the menu, and the machine will automatically detect the fabric type. Next, it will adjust the wash time and the temperature. Also, we found the Anti-allergy programme particularly interesting. It is an excellent feature for people with sensitive skin, as it kills 99.9% of bacteria and removes pollen and dust mites from your fabric. Feature IconThe innovative AntiVibration design of the side walls are not only eye catching: the system also provides more stability and reduces vibration. This enhanced insulation also regulates noise levels, making Bosch washing machines very quiet, even during the spin cycle. Bosch washing machines with AutoStain systems individually target the most common stains, from grass to red wine. They automatically adjust the water temperature, soak time and drum movements to easily remove the toughest of stains. Clothes that are not washed properly often carry allergy particles that can cause skin irritations. That’s why we developed AllergyPlus. When selected, a higher washing temperature is maintained for longer as well as an additional rinse, to effectively reduce as much allergen residue as possible. That means fewer pollen particles, animal hairs, and dust mites in your clothes. This program is ideal for allergy sufferers and sensitive skin.

After 20 cycles under 40°C, your washing machine will automatically remind you to clean the drum using the 'DrumClean' program. Ensuring your clothes are properly cleaned to perfection. The Serie|6 washing machine with AntiStain system and Home Connect removes the most common stains with ease and without pre-treatment. Waiting around for your laundry load to finish can waste time and cause unnecessary stress, especially for those with busy schedules. Home Connect puts your mind at ease and helps you be more productive with your time. If you wish, Push Notifications can be sent from your washing machine directly to your mobile device, conveniently letting you know the current programme status, as well as other useful information. Multitasking in and out of the home just got a little easier. For smaller homes or flats, the Quiet Wash option may be something of a boon, too. This isn’t a noisy machine, but the Quiet Wash mode lowers the noise levels even further. This makes it ideal for setting a wash going last thing at night or first thing in the morning.
