Bosch make a reliable products and this one replaced a Bosch Maxx. The only downside is that they have made it much more complicated to understand with all the new options and technology As I am in my 80s, however, new things are more difficult to understand. How about making an simple , easy to understand guide for us oldies.

I'm sure it's a good machine but the depth measurements are not accurate - it's 63.3cm including the door (not the 59cm shown here). And then you have to factor in some space for the pipes etc. All in all, causes a lot of headache and operational challenges when these little details are not right.

This is the best washing machine I’ve ever had (previously Hotpoint, AEG and Zanussi). It washes perfectly. You can ask it to weigh the load before choosing the programme/temperature and amount of water, or just choose from the full range of standard programmes too. Best of all, it is incredibly quiet!

Slightly dated design with a very large door that sticks out way beyond the machine depth. So much so that I had to move a dishwasher so that both doors could be opened. Program dial is large and can easily be knocked as can the non touch-capacitive ‘touch’’ screen. A cheap touch screen for the sake of it. Washes pretty well, getting some soap streaks on shorter washes. Very, very very annoying bleep that continues when the wash is finished.

Really pleased with my new Bosch washing machine. My last Bosch washing machine lasted 18 years with only one small repair,so choosing Bosch was a no brainer. I've used the washer every day for a week.Great variety of programmes. Incredibly quiet when running.Simple to use.No complaints at all.Clothes come out very clean and good spin speed.Great to have the 5 years guarantee too.Let's hope this machine is as long lived as the last one. Reliability is so important for an appliance that is used almost daily.

We ordered a Bosch washer late afternoon and we were impressed when it arrived at 7 .10 am the next morning . We had arranged and paid for disconnection and taking away old appliance and new appliance connecting . The whole process was streamlined throughout , speedy and efficient . After ordering the washer communication was excellent , keeping us informed every step of the way . We had opted for free delivery between 7 am and 7 pm . I received a text and a phone call when the drivers were on their way . The drivers were professional and courteous , swiftly providing a washer ready to use in no time at all . I recommend AO . com . I’ve used them in the past and I will use them again .

Product is great so far, very quiet and good programme options. However the product description underestimated the depth of the washing machine and it nearly didn't fit - the installers were persistent and managed to squeeze it in but the measurements should emphasise the amount of space that can be taken up by the water pipes at the back and the protrusion of the door.

Unfortunately, I have to say that so far I have not been impressed with this machine. The machine appears to be sturdy and well built but it leaves the clothes quite wet. Also the wash cycles are not very clear from the front of the machine or the manual, the manual makes no reference to white washes yet it mentions Jeans / Dark washes ?? The machine offers shorter washes (energy savers) but the shorter washes leave the clothes wetter and then you have to use the spin / drain setting to spin /drain off the wetness. (Uses more energy). My old machine had the function to delay the start of the wash and that meant that I could delay the start by the hour and up to 24 hours! This machine has a “Finish In” function which is problematic, if your energy provider offers peak save that starts at a particular time then it is difficult to determine when to set the finish in time to coincide with the energy saving hours.
