- Washing machine 7 to 9 kg, all energy class A, from €669.99 to €879.99

Laundry at Bosch: what to know
Bosch sorts its washing machines into four series. In Belgium, the brand only makes front-loaders (no top-loading models) and all those we sell are in energy class A, the best on the current scale. They share the induction motor SilentPowerDrive, brushless, known to be quiet and not prone to wear, for which Bosch offers a 10-year extended warranty once the appliance is registered.
The models sold at Nimestore are the French references French versions (their numbers end in FR). They use the platforms of the Belgian models (which end in FG or BY), sometimes with a different panel or programme set. Everything we write here comes from Bosch's official technical data sheets for each model number.

Data from Bosch's official technical sheets. Public prices checked on nimestore.com on 15 October 2026: the product sheet is the reference, and Nimesclub members often get a reduced price. All these models measure approximately 85 x 60 x 59 cm and can slip under an 85 cm worktop.
Bosch tumble dryers
All the Bosch tumble dryers we sell work by heat pump : air circulates in a closed loop and the heat is recycled, which uses far less energy than a traditional resistance dryer. They don't need an external vent.
| Model | Series | Capacity | Energy class | Noise | Condensation | More | Nimestore price |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| WTH8300DFR | 4 | 8 kg | E | 63 dB | 83 % (C) | AutoDry, Easy Clean Filter | 799,99 € |
| WTH8520MFR | 4 | 8 kg | D | 62 dB | 83 % (C) | Wool basket, 40-minute quick dry | 899,99 € |
| WQJ24203FR | 6 | 9 kg | D | 62 dB | 83 % (C) | Home Connect, Smart Dry | 909,99 € |
- AutoDry : sensors measure moisture and stop drying at the chosen level (ready to put away, ready to iron).
- Easy Clean Filter : the filter catches lint before the condenser, which makes maintenance easier.
- Smart Dry (WQJ24203FR): with a connected Bosch washing machine, the dryer receives the wash programme used and selects the appropriate drying.
At the top of the range, the Series 8 (WRB) reaches class A, 57 dB and a self-cleaning condenser. It is not in the Nimestore range today.
Decoding a Bosch washing machine model number
The first three letters indicate the series: WGE = Series 2, WAN = Series 4, WGG, WGJ, WGN = Series 6 (Belgian version), WGB = Series 8, WIW = integrated. The WUU28T69FR is a reference specific to French distribution, listed as Series 6 on its sheet.
- On the WG ranges, the middle digit indicates capacity (3 = 8 kg, 4 = 9 kg, 5 = 10 kg, 6 = 11 kg) and the next one the spin speed (4 = 1 400, 6 = 1 600 rpm).
- For the WAN range, the rule is not consistent: go by the product sheet (the WAN24209FR is 9 kg at 1 200 rpm, the WAN2823PFR 9 kg at 1 400 rpm).
- Tumble dryer: WTH and WQA = Series 4, WQG, WQJ, WQN = Series 6, WRB = Series 8.
- The suffix (FR, FG, BY, EU) denotes the market version.
Pitfalls to avoid
- Compare noise during washing and spinning : French sheets give spin noise (71-72 dB), Belgian ones sometimes give wash noise (around 51 dB). Compare the same figure.
- Buying too small : 7 kg for a family of four means a drum that is always full and laundry that doesn't rinse as well. Aim for 8 or 9 kg.
- Forgetting to register : without registering on MyBosch, you don't get the 10-year motor warranty extension.
- Confusing Aqua Protection and AquaStop : all washing machines have overflow protection; the true AquaStop water damage guarantee is only fitted to certain models. Check the product sheet.
- Ignoring the depth with the door open : a WAN needs about 105 cm in front of the appliance to open the door fully. Measure your utility room.
Between the two 8 kg WANs at 759,99 €, check the Nimesclub member price: the gap can exceed 75 €, for a machine that is identical on paper. And if you're torn between 8 and 9 kg, the WAN2823PFR at 809,98 € is a great option for a family that does a lot of washing.

Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between the WAN2827AFR and the WAN2827UFR?
On their official spec sheets, they are two Series 4 models with an 8 kg capacity and 1,400 rpm, energy class A, with Iron Assist and the same programmes. They differ in minor finishing or distribution details. At the same recommended retail price, compare the member price and current availability.
Is a 7 kg Bosch washing machine enough?
For one or two people, yes. From three people, or if you wash duvets, go for 8 or 9 kg: the drum is larger and the laundry is tumbled more effectively.
Why are Bosch tumble dryers rated D or E?
The tumble dryer energy label changed in 2025: the scale now runs from A to G and the old A+++ classes have disappeared. A heat pump tumble dryer rated D today is still an economical appliance.
Does a Bosch tumble dryer need a drain?
No. These are condenser heat pump tumble dryers: the water is collected in a tank that you empty, or drained through a hose if you connect it to a drain.
Can a Bosch tumble dryer be stacked on a washing machine?
Yes, with the stacking kit provided by Bosch, provided both appliances have the same width and depth. Ask us for the reference of the suitable kit.
