Bosch WNG254AKSN Series 6 Washer Dryer 10.5/6 kg 1400 RPM Steam

The 65-litre drum takes up to 10.5 kg of washing, which makes bulky items such as duvets, towels and bed linen easier to handle in fewer cycles. The built-in drying system dries up to 6 kg in one go, so a load can go straight from wash to dry without moving it to a separate tumble dryer. This combination is useful wherever there is room for only one appliance.

Bosch's VarioDrum is designed to wash loads gently, helping protect fabrics over repeated washes. The steam function adds another option for garment care. An automatic foam control system monitors suds during the cycle, while the load balancing system distributes laundry evenly in the drum before spinning, helping protect both the clothes and the machine.

A maximum spin speed of 1400 RPM, rated spin drying class B, removes a good amount of water before drying or hanging. Less residual moisture means shorter drying times, whether you use the integrated dryer or a clothes rack. Speed can be matched to the fabric, with lower settings available for delicate items that need gentler handling.

The machine carries energy efficiency class A for washing and D for the combined wash-and-dry cycle. Bosch lists energy consumption of 52 kWh per 100 washing cycles and 307 kWh per 100 combined washing and drying cycles. These figures make it straightforward to compare running costs with other washer dryers and to decide when to use the drying function.

The AntiVibration Design improves stability and reduces noise during spinning, and additional damping material provides sound insulation. The maximum noise level is 70 dB, with noise emission class A. Direct drive is not used in this model. Combined with load balancing, these measures make the appliance easier to live with in flats and open-plan homes.

Aqua Protection helps guard against water damage, while the child lock prevents little hands from changing settings or opening the door mid-cycle. An LED display shows programme information, a delay start timer lets you schedule the cycle, and a buzzer signals when the programme has finished. The white door with viewing window lets you check the load at a glance.

With a free-standing 60 cm wide, 64 cm deep and 85 cm high body weighing 79.8 kg, the Bosch Series 6 fits standard laundry niches. It suits families with large loads, households without space for a separate dryer, and anyone who values quiet operation, safety features and gentle fabric care in one machine.
