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.

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.

A good machine overall. Very quiet and I-Dos is a nice time saving feature. Spin is lower than my last machine and a full load is quite wet.

So far so good. A lot quieter than my last machine and the I-Dos system is handy as you fill the detergent section and it’s good for 20 ish washes. One downside is that the stars echo wash is really long, but not the end of the world as we put it on over night.

Great size to handle a big family wash. However doesn't have a pre-wash function which my previous 6 year old w/m had

On the whole really pleased with machine. Purchased to replace a broken Bosch series 6 one. The only thing I can’t really get my head around is the automatic dosing compartment as this is the only way to add liquid conditioner. Does not seem to empty as expected.

Good washer

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