Bosch Front Load Washing Machine, 9 kg, Inverter, Steam, Graphite Grey, WGA244ZREG

The Bosch WGA244ZREG is the sensible middle of the Bosch line at Radio Talaat: a 9 kg Series 4 front loader with a 1400 RPM spin, an A+++ energy rating and the same EcoSilence Drive brushless motor that Bosch backs for 10 years on its flagship machines. The official figures are the reason to look at it seriously, 152 kWh and 10,340 litres per year, 55 dB washing and 73 dB spinning, from a 65 litre VarioDrum that swallows a family load without needing a 10 kg cabinet. Fifteen programmes include Allergy Plus, Family Mix, Dark Wash, Wool Hand Wash, Drum Clean and an Easy Ironing cycle that uses steam assistance so shirts leave the drum far less creased. Quick 15 and Quick 30 handle the mid week refresh, and the reload function opens the door mid cycle for a forgotten sock. Multiple Water Protection, foam detection and balance control cover the safety side. For a family of four in a Cairo apartment that wants the Bosch motor guarantee without paying for Wi-Fi or i-DOS, the WGA244ZREG at 25,500 EGP is the value pick of the Bosch range.
