    Do not buy - very long wash cycle times

    1/5
    It takes 3hrs and 37 mins to do a 10kg wash. There are only 2 cycles on the machine that take 10kgs loads - eco 40-60 or Cotton both take 3hrs36 mins or 3hr50 mins. All other cycles take considerably less load (reducing down to a 2kg Sports wash). The time can't be reduced on either of the 10kg cycles. It's nearly useless as a large family as we need to do multiple washes a day. I could not be more disappointed.

    Not the dream machine we thought.

    Yeah I agree it’s super quiet, futuristic with loads of setting but the wash times are massively long. Almost 4 hour to do a normal wash. We put a hoodie in, found a 2 hour (ish) wash setting which returned us a not clean item and it was still soaking wet. Run it through the spin/drain setting and it still came out heavy with water. Maybe we still need to dig around in the settings, but for now not overly impressed.

    Common Sense

    4/5
    This is a good product from Bosch that is respectably quiet and very easy to use and understand. People complain that you cannot do a quick 10 kg wash, and yes when its set to cottons, it states 3hr,39min but that will adjust after assessing the load, alternatively you can press speed perfect and the time will reduce down to 1hr 30 mins, but the machine will advise if you want a spotless wash, reduce the load to 5kg (but this is not set in stone) and it will not hurt the machine to keep the full 10kg load in the machine and wash on this setting. (for the most part, if you don't slop around in a mudpit all day long, this setting will wash 10kg perfectly) It has lots of features and downloadable programs, and is constantly evolving with updates OTA (We've had 5 already) Granted a lot of programs request lower load levels, but this is guidance to get the best results, and not a given. (it comes down to using common sense) and if you apply Common sense, then this machine will serve you very well for many years.

    Sublime Bosch does it again….

    5/5
    Wow, I’ve had a few machines over the years but this model wipes the floor with them all. From its programs to all the extra little details that make life so simple, light inside drum is a god send, the steam function is amazing… I could go on but I’ll run out of room. So highly recommend this washing machine to one and all.

    Very impressed.

    5/5
    So far very impressed with washer. Good choice of programmes. Love the auto dosing of washing liquid. Very quiet even on 1400 spin. Easy to navigate, the app is super easy to set up too. 10/10
