Bosch's series 6 washing machine cycle length

8 replies

I need a new washing machine and can't find information on cycle lengths. Live in a flat with restrictions on when you can run the machine and all three of us are disabled and need washing done quickly and often. Bog standard wash of about an hour as I often need to fit a couple of loads in in the evening.

Thanks.

Where can I find this information?

Don't want to spend hundreds on a machine to find it's next to bloody useless with a three hour cycle or something.

In the manual: www.manuals.co.uk/bosch/serie-6-wau28ph9gb/manual?p=33

I don't have a series 6 but my model looks similar and has a wide range of settings from quick (15 mins) to eco (3 hours 30)

Thanks. Already tried the manual. Found the 15 and 30 cycles but not the length of the others. Really useful to know the longest length though. Thank you.

I’ve got a series 6, 9kg. longest cycle (eco) states 3hr45 but is based on weight, and usually lasts about 2hrs45. There’s an option to cut the cottons wash (about 3h15) down to about 1hr30. If you want exact send me a message.

The mixed load can be reduced to 45 mins. I do this often

The exact time can be specific to an individual machine. I had a POS AEG replaced like for like, under warranty, and all the cycles were different lengths in the new machine.

Have a look here https://media3.bosch-home.com/Documents/9001842409_A.pdf

Section 22, page 54 gives consumption values including washing duration for common washes. Not all but enough to get an idea. The max temp the wash reaches is also interesting.

Mixed wash at 40 or 60 works a treat for loads under 4kg and only takes around an hour, slightly more for 60 degree.

It’s a good machine

Excellent thanks.
