With that, the machine offers an impressive 9kg capacity.

The fabric-friendly VarioDrum system structure promotes even water distribution that will help you wash all types of garments without creasing, stretching, or damaging them. Its asymmetrical paddles and droplet-shaped design will direct your laundry right to the drum's centre, providing faster soaking and more effective cleaning of your clothes.

Meant to Make Your Life Easier
The Samsung WW80K5413UW is another user-friendly and efficient washing machine that is also silent in use. The unit is equipped with a Digital Inverter Motor that provides low-noise and low-vibration operation. And owing to an automatic error-monitoring system, all possible problems will be detected at an early stage - easy solutions to those issues will be provided via a Smartphone App.
Moving on, we would like to emphasise that this machine uses the patented Ecobubble™ technology to mix detergent with water and air, ensuring faster penetration in fibres even under lower temperatures. A 30-minute bubble soak that effectively fights even stubborn stains can be added to any programme.
Made with a user's convenience in mind, an ergonomic AddWash™ door enables you to add more items or some cloth softeners even if you have already activated a washing programme. That is to say, you can also add your hand-washed items of clothing for a final rinse.
Full Control Over the Washing
The washing machine has the following programmes that you can select by turning a dial: Super Eco Wash, Bedding, Daily Wash, Delicates, Baby Care, Outdoor Care, Dark Garment, Cotton, Eco-cotton, Synthetics, Wool, Spin, Rinse + Spin, and Eco drum clean.

Additionally, the machine has a Delay End and Quick Wash features that will give you full control over the washing process. For example, the Delay End feature will help get your garments washed by the time you come back from work, for instance. Just keep in mind that when using this programme, you should add detergent to the detergent drawer (not to the drum) so that it does not discolour the laundry. The Quick Wash option is recommended to use for smaller loads (about 2 kg) or for washing lightly-soiled clothing.
All in all, this low noise washing machine will help you thoroughly wash your garments and linen. It is equally perfect for bigger (up to 8kg) and smaller loads.

Saves Your Time and Money
The Bosch WAN28281GB uses innovative AntiVibration design, SpeedPerfect function, EcoSilence Drive and other ingenious inventions introduced by the company's engineers. For a user, this means that the machine is very quiet in operation and has very low energy consumption combined with excellent performance and durability.
Offering an 8kg capacity, the appliance has an automatic load adjustment function that will help you save on your electricity and water bills. It adjusts the washing cycle duration and water consumption depending on the fabric type and load capacity. Also, if you do not use the machine for a while, it switches to an energy-saving mode (the displays go out) until you use it again. A SpeedPerfect option will allow you to minimise washing time if you need fast yet quality results.
Next, you'll find using and maintaining the appliance a breeze. An ergonomic Reload function will come in useful for adding or removing clothes in the middle of the washing cycle; however, it is not possible in case the water level is too high or the operating temperature is above 50°C.
To ensure cleanliness and freshness of your laundry, it is important to regularly wash the drum. And, luckily, the DrumClean feature will remind you to do so after every 20 cycles (if you only use low-temperature washing settings).
So Silent that You Can Run It at Night
This functional washing machine has the following programmes: Shirts, Dark Wash, Sportswear, Delicates/Silk, Night Wash, Mixed Load, Cottons, ECO 40-60, Intensive, EasyCare, Wool, and SuperQuick 15/30.

This is achieved owing to the higher temperatures and a longer rinse cycle. The Mixed Load programme allows you to wash clothes made of various fabrics in one load. The Night Wash setting, in its turn, is irreplaceable for super quiet washing at the night time when electricity is cheaper. It features a lower final spin speed and there will be no final signal when the programme is complete. If you need to quickly wash a small amount (2 kg max) of lightly soiled clothing, choose the SuperQuick mode in combination with the SpeedPerfect function. In this case, the whole cycle will only take 15 minutes.
To wrap it up, the Bosch WAN28281GB is a functional and energy-efficient appliance. Though not the largest in our shortlist, this model has lots of innovative features that make it a great choice for a big family.

What Is a Quiet Washing Machine?
Home appliances become more and more functional, energy-efficient, and quiet in operation - even the most powerful ones. Today, you can get a washing machine with large load capacity and a high RPM level for efficient washing and spinning that produces minimum noise. Being a great solution for studio flats, such appliances are a real find for any household because you can use them any time of day and night (most of the units are equipped with a start delay function) without disturbing your nearest and dearest. In such a way, you will be able to save on electricity bills while keeping your clothes perfectly clean. Moreover, most of these innovative silent washing machines are equipped with additional energy-saving features that will allow you to save both electric power and water.
To keep your laundry organised, we recommend you to get one of these handy plastic or wooden laundry baskets. And if you have a cramped bathroom, opt for one of these collapsible baskets that require minimum space for storage.
What Features to Compare
Type
There are several things to keep in mind while choosing the best quiet washing machine for your needs, and the first one is its type.
All appliances of this kind can be divided into freestanding and integrated. Freestanding washing machines are more common; you can place them in any comfortable place in your laundry room, bathroom, or kitchen. On the other hand, integrated (or built-in) washing machines are more securely fitted. Featuring a low-vibration and low-noise operation, they can be hidden behind a cupboard door to keep your kitchen neat. In any case, before buying a washing machine, it is important to make sure it will slot into the space, so please pay attention to the dimensions.
Washing machines can also be divided into front load and top load units. Front loaders have a porthole on their front, so you might need to bend while loading them. Taking your laundry out of a top loader is in most cases more convenient. Besides, you are less likely to drop newly-washed items on the floor. However, front loaders can be easily placed under a shelf or counter. Moreover, most front-load models now allow you to throw in forgotten clothing or add washing conditioner in the middle of the washing cycle.
Programmes and Features
We also recommend you to pay your attention to pre-set programmes and additional features a machine offers.
Most washing machines have programmes for basic needs, such as Cotton, Daily wash, Delicates, etc. If you have little children, make sure the machine has a special cycle for washing babies' clothing. You might also want to choose a model with an Allergy+ cycle that will effectively remove detergent residue from clothes. Importantly, some units have special programmes for washing sportswear and even sports shoes - it will gently and effectively remove sweat and odours.
As for additional features, they can make the washing process faster (Quick Wash or SpeedPerfect options), more effective (by adding an extra wash cycle or a bubble soak), or more energy-efficient (EcoPerfect or EnergySaver features).
Extras
Innovative silent washing machines use special patented technologies to bring the washing process to a whole new level. Most of them have special anti-vibration design to ensure a low-noise operation and quiet spin cycle. Some units have a special door for adding more laundry right during the washing cycle; some have a special drum design for delicate garment care.
A balance control system will ensure the clothes are evenly distributed inside the drum and a foam control system will activate an additional rinse cycle if too much foam has been detected.
Did you know?
Washing clothes has been one of the most time-consuming chores for centuries. Let's have a quick look at some interesting facts from the laundry history.
First Washing Methods
Laundry was (and still is in some countries) performed in rivers and brooks. To remove the dirt more effectively, clothing was twisted, rubbed, and slapped. Sometimes, special sticks or bats were used to beat out the dirt. For rubbing clothes, people used wooden or stone scrubbing surfaces until metal washboards were introduced. They were lightweight, handy, and portable. No wonder this device has soon acquired wide popularity all over the world.
First Detergents
It was only in the 19th century that soap finally became widely available; for thousands of years, people used natural detergents to bleach clothes and remove stains. The first known detergent (birch cinders) dates back to 2800 century B. C. It was used in the washing process for centuries before it was replaced with soda crystals. Native American tribes used soaproot that contains saponins which form lather when mixed with water. In India, soapnuts were (and are still) quite popular for daily cleaning needs. The Romans, who built both public laundries and public restrooms, used fermented urine from the latter for bleaching clothes. Since urine contains ammonia, it was utilised for removing stains and dirt from fabric in Medieval Europe as well.
Early Washing Machines
First washing machines were introduced around 300 years ago and they were hand-powered. Earlier models had enclosed containers with grooves or paddles for rubbing the clothes, while an ordinary stick was used for rotating them along the sides of the container. Though complicated enough, this method was more effective than washing clothing by hand. The next step was the invention of the washing machine with a wooden drum and a hand-crank to rotate it. Later, when a wooden drum was replaced with a metal one, it could be heated over a fire for better washing and bleaching results.
Up To the Present Days
Finally, at the beginning of the 20th century, an electrically-powered washing machine was introduced. However, all the switches were manual back then. Automatic washing machines appeared in 1930, but only in 1980, they became more functional and energy-saving.
If you look back at the laundry history, it seems amazing how the process has changed for a comparatively short time. Offering multiple washing programmes and a variety of eco-friendly features, modern washing machines are so quiet, efficient, and convenient, that they can make the washing process absolutely hassle-free.
