Bosch WLK20266OE Washing Machine Reviews

Everyone knows that Bosch makes good washing machines. Despite this, many agree that the quality of washing machines made in Russia is lower than their European counterparts, and they should be chosen with caution. We present to you the Bosch WLK20266OE washing machine. This model is assembled in Russia, has mediocre technical specifications, and is inexpensive. Let's take a look at consumer reviews to see if we can learn more.

Men's opinions

Sergey, St. Petersburg

My brother is a washing machine repair specialist. When I was getting a new "home helper," I took him along as my expert. We first looked at budget machines because I was short on money and didn't want to get into debt, even a little. I liked it. Candy GC4 1072D-07, but my brother talked me out of buying it, pointing out that this model is very unstable, works poorly and breaks quickly.

After trying a dozen more options, I realized I couldn't find a good washing machine anywhere cheap. We started looking at everything and came across the Bosch WLK20266OE. My brother liked it, though he did have a few complaints about the short hoses and the difficult-to-remove detergent drawer, but otherwise, it was fine. That same day, I borrowed some money because I was just short of the money for this particular machine, and I finally managed to buy this "miracle of technology." We've been washing for seven months now. What I like about the machine.

1. The drum is quite roomy at 6 kg. It's noticeably larger than my old washing machine.
2. Safety is at a high level. It features leak protection, child protection, imbalance control, and foam level control.
3. There are 15 washing programs to suit every occasion. I haven't figured out all of them yet; we only use six.
4. It spins and rinses just perfectly, my wife and mother are incredibly happy.

The spin speed is adjustable. Although the maximum setting is 1000 rpm, we use 800, which is enough for good results.

Overall, I think it was a great purchase. A big thank you to my brother for not abandoning me in my time of need. This is a truly great machine; I recommend it to everyone!

My wife and I picked up the washing machine at a late-night sale at a major home appliance store, with a 50% discount. It was so busy that delivery was out of the question. No one showed it to us either; the salespeople were very busy, so we picked it up from the warehouse ourselves, without even unpacking the box. We loaded it into our minivan and drove it home.

As buyers, we made every possible mistake, even managing to lose the paperwork for the washing machine along with the receipt, but fortunately, we don't need them yet. The machine was in perfect condition and has been running smoothly for two years now. We're thrilled we were able to get such a great unit for next to nothing.

The period of use is 2 years, it’s great, if someone scolds the machine, don’t listen. It washes flawlessly, there is no shaking during washing, and there is no particular noise either. Five points without further ado.

Women's opinions

Elena, Irkutsk

Compared to Candy or Ariston, this washing machine is simply amazing. It uses significantly less detergent—I don't know how much less, I haven't counted it, but the savings are obvious. I like some of the programs, like the prewash; it allows you to wash very dirty items that a regular washing machine wouldn't handle. I'm happy with the purchase and recommend it to everyone!

Julia, Serpukhov

I'm the mother of two small children. They're at the age where the laundry never gets any smaller, and I have to do it every day. Luckily, I have a Bosch WLK20266OE at home, and it's never let me down. In a private house, kids are everywhere, and stains on clothes are also very varied, but the machine, coupled with expensive washing powder, does an excellent job. For me, there's no better "home helper" than a Bosch—that's my opinion.

Daria, Ekaterinburg

This might sound corny, but I really like Bosch appliances. My husband is also a big fan of the brand; he even has Bosch power tools in his garage. We bought a Bosch WLK20266OE washing machine three months ago, and so far we've had no problems. I almost lost my husband's sock once. It got stuck between the drum and the door seal. Luckily, it didn't fall into the drum, and we'd have had no trouble getting it out. It's a good machine; I have no complaints so far!

Marina, Moscow

The machine is pathetic; I expected something better from Bosch for the money. Competitors sell machines with dryers for $460, but Bosch has managed to charge exorbitant prices for appliances assembled in the mid-2000s. The machine works well, but the price is significantly inflated; it should have been selling for $300!

Yana, Ivanovo

I recently bought this washing machine. I don't like that after each wash cycle I have to set the spin/drain cycle separately, otherwise the laundry gets damp. I give it a solid C!

Rose, Arkhangelsk

I adore this washing machine, it's simply amazing. I used to use an Indesit and couldn't stop complaining about it. I struggled with it for a year, and finally, my husband gave me this beauty. Bosch is much more reliable, no failures, no breakdowns and no other quirks, I even got out of the habit of it. Now we finally have a good washing machine in our house.

Irina, Omsk

This isn't the first Bosch I've used, so I speak with authority. It's a very good washing machine, with nothing extra. All programs have been tested extensively and perform very well. The body is a bit flimsier than my old Bosch, but that doesn't bother the machine; it works flawlessly.
