The washing machine is very easy to use, either on the machine itself or via the app. Is very quiet even on 1400 spin. th iDOS system is brlliant. Washing is clean, even at 30 degrees.

Quiet and efficient machine. Likes - a) Higher spin than previous Bosch machine = less time in dryer b) i-Dos = less time loading liquids c) Remote control function using app = Kids can load machine and parents select the right programme Dislike - a) Missing Drum Clean programme - only available through the mobile app

Upgraded from another Bosch that didn’t have all the tech. Loving the Serie 8 with I-Dos and home connect so far. Just chuck your washing in and shit the door select a programme and everything is done for you and you can monitor how it’s doing through an app on your phone quite amazing what power we have at our fingertips. Recommended.

Amazing washing machine. It's so quiet that you don't actually know it's on until the final bleep telling you it's finished. I-dos very easy to use but does not like gel washing liquid however you can use this in the bypass compartment. Great washing programmes and quick 30 minute programme if you're in a rush. Easy to use the app.

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.

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.
