Bosch WNA14401SN Series 4 Washer Dryer 9/5 kg 1400 RPM

This combined washer dryer takes up to 9 kg of laundry per wash cycle and dries up to 5 kg, using a 60-litre drum. The built-in drying system means you can go from dirty clothes to dry ones without moving the load to a separate tumble dryer. That suits homes without room for two appliances. For the best drying results, the drying capacity is lower than the washing capacity, so larger washes can be dried in two portions.

A maximum spin speed of 1400 RPM, rated spin-drying class B, removes a good share of water before drying or line-hanging. The steam function adds another option for refreshing garments. The VarioDrum is designed for gentle washing, treating fabrics carefully during each cycle. A foam control system keeps detergent foaming in check, while the load balancing system distributes laundry evenly in the drum before spinning.

The appliance carries energy efficiency class A for washing and D for the combined wash-and-dry cycle. The manufacturer quotes 49 kWh per 100 washing cycles and 266 kWh per 100 washing and drying cycles. ActiveWater Plus adjusts water consumption to the size of the load, so smaller washes do not use as much water as a full drum. A delayed start timer lets you schedule a cycle for a time that suits you.

Bosch fits this model with the SilentPowerDrive motor, described as quiet and durable. The AntiVibration Design improves stability and reduces noise, and a sound-insulating bottom cover dampens operation further. Maximum noise is listed at 70 dB with noise emission class A. This makes the machine a sensible option for apartments or open-plan homes where the laundry area sits close to living spaces.

An LED display shows cycle information clearly, and a buzzer signals when the programme has finished. The viewing window lets you check on the laundry during a cycle. A child lock prevents settings from being changed accidentally, which is useful in family households. The white door and front-loading design give the machine a clean, familiar look that fits standard kitchen or bathroom layouts.

With a 9 kg washing capacity, this machine suits families and households that wash larger loads such as bedding and towels. The integrated dryer is useful for those without a balcony or drying space, and the free-standing design measuring 85 x 60 x 61 cm fits standard laundry spaces. The machine weighs 71.2 kg, so check flooring and access when planning installation.
