Best Bosch Home Appliances Front Loading Washing Machines

Purchase the Bosch series 8; 9 kg washing machine front loader sale price for $1200 Harvey Norman NSW This is now my second washing machine… Read more

purchase. The first one was a Fisher & Paykel front loader that was purchased in 2014 which we used twice daily, and only recently the bearings started go & wasn’t spinning fast enough to remove excess water out. This was the only reason why we had made this purchase.

We followed the Sales Rep advice at Harvey Norman and went for the German made Bosch. We were told you can’t got wrong with German made. The quality & craftsmanship is always top tier, and anything German made is made to last! I also told him my previous machine purchased from there also served us well for 12yrs!

On closer inspection once it was home I soon came to realise that it wasn’t up to the same quality as the Fisher and Paykel sadly !

I felt that Bosch could have had a really good quality machine for the price it was charging with the same features the competitors were offering !!

The program dial functions are extremely hard to read as they do not light up with the silver backing plate and the thin black writing makes it very hard to read. I have to get my phone out & use the torch & squat to make sure it’s the correct wash cycle I’ve chosen . In the showroom with all the lighting there you don’t notice it until you get home in your laundry with your single light bulb :(

The detergent drawer doesn’t close fully the bottom right hand side lifts up a bit. I have taken my drawer back into the store to see whether it’s a fault with my mine only. It looks like it’s a fault with that series because the display model at Harvey Norman also doesn’t close flush & pops out a bit too! The plastic does feel very cheap & light. Not sturdy

For a machine that’s over $1200 & German made you shouldn’t expect this at all ! I asked the sales rep to let the Bosch Rep know of this fault. I’m yet to be contacted by anyone, but could be early days yet.

The rubber lining inside the drum seal feels thinner than my previous machine. Water does not fully expel from the inner seal, which when it’s spinning the clothes should remove all traces of water too. I have to dry off the water with a rag so odour doesn’t occur- never had to do that with my previous Fisher & Paykel!

It does have a nice feature ; that it does light up when starting the wash cycle.

So far the wash cycles have been good with no issues. The clothes have been clean. I love this has a 15, 30 & 45 min cycle, like my old F&P - so that’s a bonus ! I haven’t yet used the delayed start, which I used to with my previous machine a lot.

But I feel for the price and for the namesake that it is a German made Bosch machine it feels cheap.

I did walk back around on the shopfront and check out the new Fisher & Pakyel and my regret was instant. I wish I had purchased that instead! It felt a lot more sturdy and it felt like everything was made with the a highest of quality.

I’m sorry Bosch, but I think you’ve dropped the ball with this machine.

If you have a Bosch WAN24124AU that is failing to spin clothes to speed on the final spin, or that suddenly goes from 7 mins to 1 min during that… Read more

final spin leaving the clothes wet with no error code at all IT MAY NOT BE YOUR FAULT. Searching online would suggest a loading issue, too heavy; too light the mix is not right, out of balance, filter, pump, drain hose etc and that may be the case. However our fault was exactly this and was intermittent for months leaving me more than frustrated. After reading Deb's post here online I finally contacted Bosch (online) and with only a simple 70 character limit available for the fault description they sent out a tech with a new motor control board, there was no initial visit to investigate the fault. In this instance the warranty response by Bosch was excellent however I could argue that it would also suggest that they already know that this motor control board has a failure rate. Ours was close to the 2 year warranty expiry and the fault appears fixed but we’ll see how it goes. Unfortunately we purchased the same unit for my elderly mother and that one is out of warranty.

Bought the 10kg bosh series 6 from Harvey Norman , not even 12 hours of having it it is making obnoxiously loud banging when washing and spin cycle.… Read more

Couldn't fit a queen size blanket at all thick or thin despite claiming to be 10kg load capacity couldn't spin dry the blanket at all and didn't even fully wet the blanket , second load was a donoa cover a sheet and pillow cases , the pillow case that came out even more dirty than when it went in. DO NOT believe the reviews on sites like Harvey Norman or good guys they have mainly only good review that don't tell you the issues of this product , buy another brand and not this load of crap.
