    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.

    Completely disspointed, Faulty item.
    Unfortunately, the washing machine has a fault with the detergent drawer not closing properly. Despite this, no solution has been offered, the required spare part is unavailable, and the item is not being replaced. I’m very disappointed with the lack of support.

    The Laundry Beast That Tamed My Weekends
    If you’ve ever looked at your overflowing laundry basket and considered faking your own disappearance, the Bosch 10kg WGB256A1AU might just save your identity and your sanity. This machine is an absolute powerhouse. The 10kg capacity is no joke, it swallowed my entire week’s laundry like a hungry hippo and still had room to spare. Towels, sheets, gym gear, and that hoodie I pretend I don’t wear every day… all in one go. Fewer loads = more time pretending to be productive. The wash cycles are surprisingly quiet. I had to check twice to make sure it was actually running, either Bosch added noise-cancelling tech or it’s secretly tiptoeing around my house at night. The i-DOS automatic detergent feature is also genius. It doses the detergent for you, which is perfect if you’re the type of person who has ever said “that looks about right” while pouring soap like you’re marinating a brisket. No more guessing, no more suds explosions. Clothes come out clean, fresh, and somehow looking a bit smug — like they know they’ve just been through a premium wash. Pros: Massive 10kg load capacity — practically a mini-laundromat. Ultra-quiet operation (could double as a stealth appliance). i-DOS auto-dosing = no more detergent guesswork. Energy-efficient but still washes like it’s got something to prove. Sleek modern design that makes your laundry room feel fancier than it is. Cons: You may accidentally become the “person with the fancy washing machine” in your friend group. Might cause unreasonable excitement over laundry day. Verdict: If you want a reliable, powerful washer that actually makes laundry less of a chore (and more of a “set and forget” situation), the Bosch WGB256A1AU is a star. Highly recommend!

    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
