Purchased this Bosch washing machine to replace my old Bosch that had lasted about 13 years. Hoping for a similar lifespan for this one. Looking at the build quality, I don't think I'll be disappointed.
All the features that I need are still there, plus the drum size has more capacity than I had before.
Reading previous reviews - there were a few comments on it's quietness.
I'd say the spin cycle is still a bit noisy. Although the noise and balancing from the spinning itself seems to have improved in the new design, the drain pump is now part of the spin cycle and seems to cause the most noise. It's not terrible, but still not quite as quiet as I was expecting.
