There's nothing particularly special about it, yet consumers are still actively purchasing it. What's its secret? What makes it so appealing? Let's read the reviews and see if we can figure it out.
Men's opinions
Artem, Nizhny Novgorod
Simple, functional, a well-known and trusted brand, and an affordable price. I don't think I'm alone. The Bosch brand has earned its high reputation. Specifically, before this model, which I've had for a year now, I owned a Bosch machine for 17 years. The old machine is still in good working order in the garage, but its appearance is far from presentable. What advantages have I noticed so far about the Bosch WLG 20162 OE?
- The top cover is removable, which allowed me to install the machine under the countertop.
- Electronic control, which makes the machine much more functional.
- Smooth drum with strategically placed ribs and a 5 kg capacity.
- Decent spin. Spin speed up to 1000 rpm and cancellation option.
- High level of safety, which includes: complete protection against leaks, imbalance control, protection against excessive foaming and protection against child tampering.
- There are 14 excellent washing programs, including wool, delicates, stain removal, and wrinkle prevention. These are really cool programs; I really missed them.
I especially like the stain removal program. It removes stubborn stains without the hassle of scrubbing. My wife absolutely loves it.
- An attractive appearance. Maybe it's just me, considering our old car, whose lower body is already rusty, but I'll say it anyway, because attractiveness is a matter of judgment.
After a year of use, the machine has proven itself to be excellent. My wife and I are, at least, pleased. We recommend it to everyone, as Bosch is the benchmark for quality.

The Bosch WLG 20162 OE is a decent washing machine; it's been working for two years now, and the heating element has only been replaced once. It's hard to blame the machine's designers for this, as our area has very hard water with heavy metals, which often causes problems with washing machines, water heaters, and electric kettles.
It washes laundry perfectly, works quietly, and hardly wobbles during the spin cycle. The child lock is easy to turn on and off. I'm happy with the purchase!

It's a great machine, awesome. I've never had a Bosch before. I used an Indesit at first, then for two years. Candy VITA G374TM-7 washing machineAfter using it, I decided I wouldn't buy any more vertical washers. It doesn't ruin the laundry and washes well. It hasn't broken yet.
Maxim, Penza
The machine is very energy-efficient. My utility bills have dropped significantly since I bought it. I can't imagine how it manages to use so little electricity and water while still washing so well, but I'm certainly very happy with it.
Timur, Kazan
In my opinion, the machine is excellent. It's a great brand, and it performs its function perfectly. The assembly is excellent; even the smallest details are flawless; all the parts fit perfectly. Take the door seal and lid, for example: there are no gaps anywhere, everything fits perfectly, making the lid open and close easily and there are no leaks. The housing materials are high-quality; I think the Bosch WLG 20162 OE will last a long time.

It's reliable, you can tell right away, even though I'm no expert. Even in the store, I noticed how well-made the frame is, how easily and effortlessly the detergent drawer slides out, and how smoothly the door opens. Then, when I got home, I saw this washing machine in use and simply fell in love. I don't need another machine.
Women's opinions
Natalia, Voronezh
The best thing about this machine is its washing programs. They were clearly designed by an experienced homemaker. It has everything you need, without any frills. I especially like the wool wash cycle. In theory, wool shouldn't be washed in a washing machine, but the designers came up with a program that minimizes the woolen garment's contact with water. I'm very happy with my Bosch washing machine and recommend it to everyone!
Elena, Ulyanovsk
The ergonomics of the machine are simply stunning; it truly looks like the perfect washing machine. It's easy to operate, and there's a display that shows the program progress. The price is also low, which I was very happy about, as I was a bit tight on budget and it barely fit within my budget. I'm incredibly happy to now have such a "home helper."
With the discount, we were able to buy the car for $330, paying in cash.
Julia, Ryazan
I don't even know what kind of anti-crease program it has or what's so good about it. I know this machine inside and out, having been using it for three years now. It wrinkles clothes just like any other machine. I don't like people writing about things that don't exist. It washes well, I have nothing bad to say about that, but there's no need to ascribe any magical features to this washing machine.
Tatiana, Kirov
The car is more than two years old. It didn't cost us much. I have no complaints about the washing machine, but it makes a lot of noise while it’s working; even the neighbors can hear me when I start washing. Overall everything is fine, but not without its flaws.
Lyudmila, Balashikha
I'm incredibly happy with this washing machine. Compared to my "old lady" Indesit, it's a real gem. It washes perfectly, especially sportswear and outerwear. It hasn't let me down once, and there haven't been any issues requiring repairs. I give it a full five stars without hesitation.

Anna, Ulan-Ude
This machine is spacious. I can easily wash a set of bed linen. The door opens wide, making it easy to load and unload items. It washes beautifully, but it needs a good detergent. I'm glad I listened to customer feedback and bought this washing machine!
Evgeniya, Bryansk
The design is sleek, the operation is precise, and the laundry smells clean afterward. The control panel is excellent, and it's user-friendly. I highly recommend it!
Irina, Moscow
This is a so-so machine. Bosch used to make better machines, but now they've gotten lazy and fallen behind in technology. I washed my jacket last time, and there were traces of detergent on it, but that's no good. A big minus for the manufacturer. I wouldn't give this model more than a three.
Yana, Omsk
A friend recommended this washing machine, and I decided to listen. I was right; it's truly a great machine. It doesn't tear laundry, washes without a hitch, and isn't picky about detergents. It's probably the best washing machine in this price range.
Svetlana, Sochi
The technology is mediocre, nothing special, but I liked it because of the price. For the money, it's a decent car; I could have done more shopping, but laziness got the better of me. I wouldn't recommend it; I have mixed feelings myself!

A very good machine. I even wash my dog after a walk on a low speed.
