    Overview

    The Bosch Series 8 10kg Front Load Washing Machine offers powerful performance with advanced features. Its large 10kg drum ensures thorough cleaning for big times like bed linen, while the anti-stain system tackles even the most stubborn marks.

    Iron Assist reduces wrinkles by up to 50-percent, cutting down on ironing time. Speed Perfect technology allows for faster washes, without compromising on results. Environmentally-conscious features include ActiveWater Plus, which optimises water usage for smaller loads, and the Mini Load option for single items.

    With smart Home Connect integration, you can control and customise cycles from your mobile device. Plus, the Reload function lets you easily add forgotten items mid-wash.
    Iron Assist

    Iron Assist gently steams freshly washed and dried items in just 20 minutes. It also releases wrinkles on a previously worn dress shirt or trousers. Just place items in the machine and let Iron Assist do the rest.

    Mini Load option

    Got a t-shirt to wash, but not enough for a full load? The Mini Load option is ideal for that. It lets you wash single items or very small loads up to 0.5kg and cuts energy usage by up to 40-percent.

    Easy Start Guide

    The Home Connect with Easy Start Guide function takes the guesswork out of knowing which programme to select by recommending the right programme to you - directly from your mobile device.

    Anti Stain system

    The Anti Stain system tackles 16 tough types of stain, like grease and tea, by automatically adjusting temperature, drum movement, and soaking time for effective stain removal.

    Love the efficiency and quietness
    I got this machine to replace our bosch 8kg that was over 10 years old and it doesn't disappoint. The face of the machine looks more futuristic and advanced in comparison. It has touch features and can connect to the app making it really easy to use. It has child lock making it perfect for my little toddlers fingers and I absolutely love the i-dos. I know putting in the detergents isn't too tedious but its so convenient not having to do it every single wash. Its a game changer for me because I have a little gremlin running around so the convenience of not having to do it is worth the price! I do find the machine very quiet so sometimes i won't know the cycle has finished unless I check the app or machine itself. It cleans our clothes perfectly and I love the advanced touch screen and options that weren't available with previous models such as different stain removal options for blood, baby clothes etc. The delivery team were also amazing with the removal of the old and installation of the new machine. They were very quick, helpful and on the ball! Overall, I'd highly recommend it for ease and convenience of use, and amazing customer service.

    No doubt
    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When old washer died there was no other brand and when looking no other model. We have all our other major home appliances as bosch so buying confidence was without hesitation. Wouldnt even glance at another product or brand

    Questions & answers

    Hi How long does a cycle take at full capacity - I need a machine that does a daily full load in less than an hour and a half CBear15 · 2025-09-18
    Hello there, it depends on a few factors. Because most front load washing machines heat the water themselves, it depends on the water temperature you select. If you're washing in cold water, you can certainly do a normal load in under 90 minutes =) Cheers, Adam from Appliances Online. AdamD, Appliances Online
    Hi, if I am understanding this correctly, this machine has an automatic detergent dispenser. But what happens if I want to wash woolens and use a wool wash as a one off but there is still detergent in the dispenser? Jacs · 2025-08-12
    Hi there, if you'll regularly be using different types of detergent (I use a different ones for wool, clothing and sheets/towels, for example), you would be better off looking at the Bosch Series 8 10kg Front Load Washing Machine WGB25600AU (same model, just no i-DOS). Cheers, Adam from Appliances Online. AdamD, Appliances Online
    Can you recommend both a washing liquid and fabric softener that works well with the i-dosing? Anon · 2025-08-06
    Hello there, I can't recommend a specific detergent or fabric softener brand. In terms of detergent, though. You need to be using what is known as a low-sudsing, high-efficiency (HE) detergent. Cheers, Adam from Appliances Online. AdamD, Appliances Online
    Hi why do my clothes come out more dirty when using the idos function ? Jess · 2025-06-03
    Hi Jess, this shouldn't be the case. If you are having issues with the i-DOS, I'd suggest raising a service request. If you purchased the machine from us, give us a call on 1300 000 500 and we can arrange this =) Cheers, Adam from Appliances Online. AdamD, Appliances Online
