Its best fit is everyday washing made faster and easier, thanks to SpeedPerfect, Iron Assist steam crease reduction, Active Water Plus load-sensing water use and Reload for forgotten items. It suits shoppers who want Bosch’s core wash quality and useful programmes, with higher-tier smart connectivity and automatic dosing reserved for other models. Faster Washing with SpeedPerfect SpeedPerfect can reduce washing time by up to 65% without compromising wash results. It can be used with most programmes and across different load sizes and fabric types, giving you greater flexibility when you need clean laundry sooner. The Super Quick 15/30 option also provides a faster choice for smaller loads, with Super Quick 30 suitable for washing up to 4kg of laundry in 30 minutes. Reduce Creases with Iron Assist Iron Assist uses steam to help reduce wrinkles and make ironing easier. The 20-minute programme gently steams freshly washed and dried garments and can also be used to reduce wrinkles in previously worn clothing. Efficient Water Use with Active Water Plus Active Water Plus automatically adjusts water consumption according to the type and size of the load. Bosch states that the system can save up to 50% of water when washing smaller loads, based on a comparison between quarter and full loads using the Eco 40-60 programme. Quiet and Stable Washing Bosch's Anti Vibration sidewall is designed to improve stability and reduce vibration during operation. Enhanced insulation also helps regulate noise levels, while the SilentPowerDrive, also referred to as EcoSilence Drive, provides efficient and quiet motor performance. The appliance has a stated washing noise level of 52 dB(A) and a spinning noise level of 72 dB(A), with an airborne acoustical noise emission class of A. A dedicated Quiet Wash option lowers drum speed to help reduce disruption around the home. Reload Forgotten Items The Reload function allows you to add or remove suitable items after a wash has started. Simply pause the programme using the Reload control, open the door when it is safe to do so, add the item and continue the cycle. For safety, Reload cannot be used when the water level is too high or the suds are hotter than 50°C. Programmes for Everyday Laundry The Bosch WAN28255GB includes programmes and wash options for a range of fabrics and laundry needs, including Cottons, Easy Care, Delicates/Silk, Woollens hand wash, Mixed Load, Shirts, SportsWear, Jeans/Dark Laundry, Hygiene Plus, Night Wash, Single Rinse and Drain/Spin. Hygiene Plus maintains the wash temperature and adds an extra rinse. Bosch states that its Hygiene Plus programme at 40°C and 60°C fulfils scientifically recommended conditions for a 99.99% reduction of specified common germs. The Sportswear programme uses low wash temperatures and a short spin to care for modern microfibres and coloured fabrics, while the Jeans/Dark Laundry programme is designed to care for dark and coloured garments and help avoid streaking. VarioDrum Fabric Care The VarioDrum uses a droplet-shaped drum design and asymmetrical paddles to distribute water evenly and move laundry towards the centre of the drum. This is designed to provide effective cleaning while treating different fabrics gently. DrumClean Reminder After 20 wash cycles below 40°C, the machine automatically reminds you to run the DrumClean programme, helping you maintain the drum and keep the appliance ready for future washes.
