The WAW285H1UC was a 500 Series compact washer, 23 1/2 inches wide with a 2.2 cubic foot drum and Home Connect. Bosch’s WAW generation of compact washers is now the one most commonly found in apartments across dense urban markets, and the fault that defines their middle age is the door boot seal. It sits at the lowest point of the drum opening, it collects everything that comes out of pockets, and once it splits the machine leaks onto the floor rather than into the base.
