Quietly efficient.

Great washing machine. Quiet and lots of wash settings. There is one error message that I cannot find anywhere what it means!

Fab So easy to use

Excellent washing results, very efficient washing machine, in terms of electricity and water usage,

I have just replaced a 15 year old Miele with this Bosch. I am decidedly underwhelmed with the new machine. The 10kg advertised load is for a small number of the wash options only, most are more like 6kg, some as low as 2 or 4 kg. I accept delicates/short cycle being a lower load but some of the other wash options I am disappointed to find the load capacity so low (maybe my fault for not scouring the manual before I bought-I took 10kg to mean 10kg for most wash options) The cycles that do offer 10kg load are so long that I would be quicker doing a shorter cycle with a lighter load and then running a second load, and it would still take less time. And quite a few washes have come out with the clothes still dripping wet, and I have had to put them on the spin cycle. I spoke to Bosch about this and they told me I either didn't have enough in the wash (too light), or the balance of items was wrong, so it wouldn't spin properly. My children swim regularly and I am used to putting their swim kit on a short cycle when they get back from the pool. the Meile managed this fine, but apparently I have to add extra weight/items to balance the load-I don't necessarily have other items I want to put in each time on a 30 min cycle.

OK machine, but clothes are pretty wet after cycle has finished. Either this is faulty, or my old machine was better or this is normal behaviour for this machine.

Seems good so far but build quality is not as good as old Bosch it replaces.

Best washing machine I have ever had. It is amazingly quiet, my clothes come out drier than my old machine on the same spin speed and the i-dos feature is great. It is so simple to set the timer and the ability to add an item after the wash started isbrilliant. I needed this on only the second use!
