Bosch WLG 24260 OE Washing Machine Reviews

The vast majority of people prefer the most basic washing machines. Machines loaded with electronics are far less popular, especially because they're also incredibly expensive. The Bosch WLG 24260 OE washing machine is affordable and offers standard specifications, just what the average buyer needs. Perhaps you should ask people what they think of this machine; perhaps it's the right one for your household?

Men's opinions

Dmitry, Nizhny Novgorod

For 14 years, I had a purely German Bosch. Six months ago, I was forced to throw it away and replaced it with a Bosch WLG 24260 OE. I was pleased that I saved money and got a decent washing machine that does its job properly. It's well-built, no worse than my old one. It has plenty of advantages.

• Narrow body and removable top cover.
• Large capacity drum for 5 kg.
• Digital display that shows a lot of valuable information about washing.
• Lots of programs and almost silent operation.

I could list the advantages for a long time, but I won't get carried away; that's not the point. I'm writing this review not to brag about my newly acquired washing machine, but to share with you information about good equipment. Buy something that's been tested by others; then it'll be much harder to make a mistake.

A year ago, I was looking for an inexpensive washing machine. I was interested in either Bosch or Electrolux. I looked at one and even considered buying one. Electrolux EWS 1052 NDU, but somehow it didn't work out. Then, by chance, I came across a Bosch WLG 24260 OE with a 15% discount. I was hooked on such a generous offer, scoured it, checked out the specs, and made the purchase.

This machine, I tell you, is simply magnificent. It washes, rinses, and spins just as it should. It feels like I've struck gold! Five stars without a second thought!

The machine is also quite energy-efficient, using only 40 liters of water per wash cycle. It also saves a significant amount of electricity.

I bought the washing machine about a year and a half ago. I received it with a defect. The pump didn't work. I had to return the machine to the store, but the seller delivered a new one the same day, at his own expense. It works perfectly, no complaints whatsoever. I highly recommend it!

Evgeniy, Omsk

We purchased this washing machine in the fall of 2015. Since then, we've had no problems and not the slightest complaint from my wife. We especially like the delayed start and the "night wash" program. It washes clothes perfectly, doesn't wrinkle or tear, and spins well. I highly recommend it!

Yuri, Verkhnyaya Pyshma

I've been wanting a Bosch WLG 24260 OE for a while, but only managed to find the money last year. I wouldn't say it's perfect—budget machines aren't perfect, I guess—but I'm very happy with it. The quality is good!

Maxim, Moscow

I really liked the washing machine right away. I saved a lot of money on the purchase, and the first time I washed my clothes, they were perfect. Then the problems started. During the second spin, a metallic clanking sound appeared, indicating bearing failure. Now I have to pay for repairs at the company's expense, since the machine is under warranty. I don't know how long this will last, and I have to wash my clothes by hand in the basin. So I bought the machine at my own risk!

Anton, Ufa

I have no complaints about the machine's operation, in fact, I have nothing but praise. It's very quiet, but the final beep is incredibly loud, so you won't miss it when you're busy. The repeating final melody is a bit annoying; it keeps repeating indefinitely until you turn it off. I don't understand why they did it that way. Otherwise, everything is great, I highly recommend it!

Women's opinions

Yuliana, Moscow

It's been almost three years since we bought this machine. It fits perfectly in the bathroom, even the design is perfect. It does its job wonderfully, and I especially love the rinse cycle. Now my parents' beloved Samsung has broken and they're looking for a new one. I'll recommend the Bosch WLG 24260 OE, although I doubt they'll listen—they're stubborn!

The five-kilogram drum seems small, but I can easily wash jackets in it, and the machine has never frozen up.

Alina, Magnitogorsk

I like Bosch washing machines; they have a nicer design. When it came time to buy one for myself, I had no doubt I'd choose a Bosch, but I was unsure which model. The ones I initially liked were at least $800—good, but out of my budget. The salesperson at the store recommended the Bosch WLG 24260 OE. I hesitated at first, but then I finally bought it. I'm so happy with the purchase; the machine is fantastic!

Tatiana, Samara

As soon as I bought this washing machine, I immediately started to understand the programs. Literally that same day I realized that the set of washing programs was not very good. There are different modes, but most of them take a very long time. Quick wash doesn't count, since it doesn't really clean anything properly, only freshen it up. You have to spend a ton of time washing, even though the machine does the job, but you're not leaving the house anyway. I'll also try the night wash with a delayed start; maybe I'll get the hang of it.

Valentina, Smolensk

I absolutely love my Bosch washing machine; it's the perfect household helper. I have two small children, both close in age, and I don't know how I'd manage without a good washing machine. It hasn't let me down once in the past year and a half, and I don't think it ever will. Five stars for the machine!

Daria, Kazan

The best washing machine for the money. You definitely won't find a cheaper, better-looking one. Before Bosch, I had four automatic washing machines. I can't even begin to describe the amount of trouble I suffered with them. Everything broke: motors, door locks, pumps, and control modules, and I was fed up with calling a repairman. With the Bosch WLG 24260 OE, I forgot all about those problems. It's a wonderful machine!

   I really wanted a BOSCH washing machine, but unfortunately it wasn't the right height. I had to order one from a different manufacturer.
