The first new model of 2018 from a brand laden with Best Buy awards, the Bosch WAT2840SGB has a multitude of tough acts to follow. On paper, it does check most of the boxes. It's a front-loading and freestanding washer that has 15 choices of washing program and which is not all that large considering its fairly spacious drum. How did it perform when we sent it to our washing machine test lab? Read the full review to find out.
