Good quality machine however the load seems less than the previous version of the model.

Machine is excellent, though it took 20 minutes to first get the door open

Quiet cycle and very clean clothes. The mixed option only takes an hour with good results. Love the projection on the floor too.

This is so much better than the last Bosch washing machine I bought. The little things that matter for me are the big difference. The light that turns on inside the drum so you can see if anything is left inside. That missing sock. The display that shines on the floor to let you know what it is doing so you don't have to open the door to check 'how long is left!' Lastly 'the biggy' - No more waiting for the 1 minute that is never 1 minute for the door to finally open. This model machine stops. Beeps and opens the door immediately! Get In. Result. Oh and it washes clothes really well too.

I'm genuinely thrilled with my Bosch Series 8 washing machine. From the moment it was installed, I was impressed by how sleek and well-integrated it looks in my kitchen. It’s by far the quietest machine I’ve ever used. You can barely hear it running - I keep needing to check that I've actually turned it on! It’s perfect in my open plan home or when running a cycle early in the morning without disturbing anyone. The internal drum light is a brilliant feature I didn’t know I needed until now. The machine feels sturdy, efficient, and well-designed. The 1400 rpm spin means my clothes come out drier, no need to put them on an extra spin. And the 8kg capacity is ideal for my busy household. Highly recommended! It’s been a fantastic upgrade for our home.

Good points: Well made machine. Offers a wide selection of programmes (15). Quiet and economical to run. Cleans well. Bad points: Door is difficult to open for anybody with arthritic hands. Be warned that Bosch washing machines require minimum 1 bar of water else error warnings appear on the display. Fortunately I already have a pressure booster pump fitted. Conclusion: Good machine but not perfect. Just about justifies its Which Best Buy rating.

Working great so far. Too early to review reliability.

Excellent washing machine Sturdy build and plenty of options and cycles. The best thing about this particular model is the noise level. Barely audible during washing and still pretty quiet even on 1400 spin I like the hologram that is also projected on the floor that shows time remaining, saves opening the cupboard door.
