Hey guys

I've edited this, the Bundaberg store informed me that the catalogue that came out at 3pm today lists it for $988

Bosch 10kg Front Load Washer WAU28490AU

RRP $1999 at Bosch
$1099 at Harvey Norman and Bing Lee
$1230 at appliances online
This is $1018 on the good guys commercial store but i had discounted gift cards to use

Remember 2.5% cash rewards / shopback to get $1077 or 5% discounted gift cards to get it to $1043

This seems like a very good price for an overwhelmingly well reviewed washing machine, I wanted the electrolux but there is not stock until september.
This is actually cheaper than the 8kg and 9kg models at the good guys
Note this is not the german made model WAW28440AU

    how do you access GG commercial?

  • Jimothy Wongingtons on 24/06/2020 - 13:45

    Been lookin at the german made ones. Is it worth the extra dosh?

    Also might be worth mentioning appliances online will match with delivery fee extra. Their delivery they take away old appliance if required too. Idk if good guys still do.

      yes, and get the idos model, its pretty cool, just put the whole container of detergent in, it weighs it and uses the correct amount over the next month or so. over the life of the washer, (which should be at least 10 years+ for the German made model) should only cost 10-20 bux a year… if you over dose it could potentially even save you that much.

      regardless, the german made model should last many years over the china/indian model, (they use better components in it) so it should basically pay for itself in the long run.

      • teacherer on 24/06/2020 - 14:17

        Looks like the i-dos models are around $1500.
        Where have you read they use better components out of curiosity?

        • Click_It on 25/06/2020 - 10:34

          I have heard they use the same components but the German model undergoes better testing, where as they just pump them out the door at China. I don't know where the truth lies but I'm waiting for a German model. Not the i-Dos though, sounds cool but the extra feature doesn't justify the premium for me.

        • wisc on 23/07/2020 - 14:49

    • teacherer on 24/06/2020 - 14:00

      9kg WAW is about $1100 on commercial store.

      Why are you holding out for WAW apart from made in germany?

      • RDY4ME on 24/06/2020 - 14:25

    Can't comment on this machine, but last month for the first time in my life I got a Bosch. It's actually a WTW87566AU 9kg Series 8 Heat Pump Dryer. Holy demon. Why hadn't I ever purchased Bosch before. So good.

    • rooon on 24/06/2020 - 13:57

      What was the clincher for you to go that one over the WTW87564AU?

      • seamonkey on 24/06/2020 - 14:21

        @rooon

        I probably should have investigated that model a little more. They did start sounding very, very similar but I went for the 66 over the 64 because I was always (since I was a kid) paranoid about dryer running costs. I remember my father telling me about it like it was $200 an hour to run.. haha.. When I saw 8 star Vs. 9 star. I bit the bullet on the 9 star..couldn't believe after calculating based on my electricity costs it was like 47 cents per cycle! Wow!

        Got it from Appliances Online and it was $1688 delivered. Even opted for AfterPay was just $422 a fortnight I put aside for 4 fortnights.

        Realise I can get a $199 dryer or whatever from Aldi. I'll pay more in running costs. Did the calculations. Over the years would I save money? Probably not but it might be same kind of money for outlay + running costs. But this way you get a quality machine, no heat in the room, quiet as, no outside exhaust, more program options etc etc :)

        • the4thzodiac on 24/06/2020 - 22:58

          @seamonkey, did you get it installed/mounted or get the tray thing?

          been looking at the 9*. We only need a dryer during the winter months though. or so we think.

          will need to place on top of the washing machine and get the mount or the tray thing.

          • seamonkey on 25/06/2020 - 08:21

            @the4thzodiac: @the4thzodiac
            A work in progress. Plan to get that official tray thingie. At this moment the washing machine and dryer sitting next to each other on the floor although the washing machine is sitting on a washing machine pedestal.

            Yeah. I thought the same re just winter months (Victoria) but I can't see me ever hanging washing again now hahaha.

            Know that the issues people speak of with heat pump is real (can feel damp the clothes after done) but 15 minutes sitting in the basket - all is good. Generally.

            What you are doing, placing the dryer on top is definately the right thing to do. I want it 100% like that - just another thing on my to do list. Let me know if you want more. Happy to send vids or whatever if it'll ever help as I didn't see much online for that model. It's a lot quieter than I expected.

            • the4thzodiac on 25/06/2020 - 09:10

              @seamonkey: @seamonkey thanks.

              Is it damp even with the driest cycle, the cupboard mode or something? Some have mentioned going for a second shorter cycle once the first is done.

              Good to hear that it is quiet! Have you managed to track / estimate electricity usage for the dryer?

              • seamonkey on 25/06/2020 - 11:19
                +1

                @the4thzodiac: @the4thzodiac no worries
                Dampness. Usually it's absolutely fine. I'm likely the problem as I sometimes throw so much in that the metal sides of the appliance almost buckle :)
                I think keeping it down to an acceptable load size is key. I think also I get a little ambitious as the washing machine is 11kg so I'm trying to fit a round peg in a square hole. I definately over pack.

                I read somewhere the decibels on it were equivalent to a normal conversation volume. Close the door and you'll barely hear it.

                I do that quick 2nd cycle sometimes. Key is a timed program. Even if it's just another 20 mins. Works well.

                In terms of energy cost. Nothing exact. Though I did use exact figures. Plugged in what I pay per kWh and the actual machine, 47 cents for a standard cycle. That is bananas.

                Haven't had a dryer in years. Recently got an electricity bill and no evidence we have even had it on despite using it plenty of times. Happy to help further if you think of any other questions. Still haven't hooked up the hose to drain. Process of it going into drawer chamber is absolutely fine at the moment. No doubt I'll get sick of that one day. Cheers

      yes, matters heaps RE German vs China model, they put better components in the German models.

      and id rate E&S no 1 appliance store by far. bought my washer, drier & dishwasher from there, each time with a fantastic price, served straight away, with great customer service.

      (highly recommend E&S specially over Gerry Harvey, who caused us to have a 10% GST on imported items regardless of value.) - good guys are OK, but no where near as good as E&S. takes to long to get service there.

    Can't speak to the quality of the Chinese made models. But I've owned a German made Bosch front loader since about 2005. Had to replace the seal in it 6 months ago. The parts cost me $70 to order from Bosch, who for some reason still stock absolutely every spare part for it. Their website is a dream to use. They have diagrams that break all of the components down so you know what part numbers etc. So yeah, if this thing ever actually breaks down I'll be hunting down another German made Bosch for sure.

  • Repstar on 26/06/2020 - 11:36

  • reece8 on 29/06/2020 - 13:18

    Hey folks, my nearly 10yr old German made Bosch (6.5kg capacity) has just conked out, the door seal was exihibiting mould in the last year or so, and we've been cleaning it excessively with bicarb to try get rid of it, with no success. Finally last night, it possibly gave way and water started flowing of the door! Anyway, long story short, it's time for a new washer. Couple questions if anyone can help with would be appreciated as I'm kind of out of touch:
    I've currently got a rack hung vented dryer which I intend to keep as a back-up/use for extra capacity as we do a lot of laundry and will be after a 9-10kg washer next where dryer capacity is typically 4-6kg max hence leaning currently towards a washer/combo dryer, or seeking advice if I should stay away and go for a top Bosch german made washer and just stick it out with the old school vented dryer.
    1) Is there a heat-pump dryer, washer combo on the market these days? Or are these combo machines all basically condenser dryers?
    2) I understand heat-pump dryers actually save heaps more electricity vs old school vented and condenser dryers which is attractive, but at a cost premium, but vs the modern day condenser ones, whilst no arguing with the savings in electricity, does it a LOT longer to dry?
    3) Shorlisted 1 model for the washer/combo due to capacity 10kg wash 6kg dry, assume it's a condenser dryer with 30/60/120min drying cycles which seem reasonable. It's the LG https://www.lg.com/au/washing-machines/lg-wvc9-1410w-washer-…
    4) Alternatively stick with a solid quality german made Bosch washer only where 9kg seems to be the max capacity, BOSCH WAW28420AU 9KG or pay the premium for the BOSCH WAW28620AU 9kg - is premium worthwhile? Only diff I see is the iDOS auto laundry detergent tech. Noticed there is an even more premium Bosch 9kg HomeProfessional Front Load Washing Machine WAY32891AU model - iDOS tech, but what else justifies this premium… So hard to tell as a lot of the info looks like marketing dribble.

    What would you guys recommend given my situation, cause in our current setup, due to massive laundry loads we seem to be running the dryer heaps i.e. 120min cycle x2 or x3, so a combo where we could run the combo dryer plus the vented one at the same time if needed would minimise the period of time we're running the dryer(s) during the day, and with the larger capacity washer minimise the times we run the washer too so win-win.

    Thanks in advance!

    • wisc on 01/07/2020 - 14:36

      damn that really didnt last that long…

      i looked at combo machines, not worth it, they do both average. best to get them separate, basically washing capacity 9kgs drying capacity 5KGs, so you cant even properly do a full load correctly.

  • grimo82 on 29/06/2020 - 18:14

    same price now @ HN as well.

    Am i right in thinking anything over 9kg is not German made in Bosch? …. really need a 10kg :(
