Pros: Energy efficient
Overall: This is a great machine. It has a four star energy and power rating, the everyday wash cycle time is approximately 50 minutes (a top loader is on average 45 mins).
It is very reliable, and it also has an aqua secure function which eliminates the risk of flooding if a leak develops. all in all i would recommend this as an excellent front loader. Also it is much cheaper than a miele!!!

Pros: Quiet - mostly. 4 stars for both electricity and water. Should be a good quality long lasting machine (time will tell)
Cons: Spin can be noisy. A small amount of water always stays at the bottom of the rubber door seal - could lead to mould eventually.
Overall: This is my first front loader, after two top loaders. I was unsure about going front loader due to long cycle times and not being able to add more items just after the start of a wash. But the quick wash setting is great for lightly soiled clothes. It's even quicker than the old top loader. Variable spin speeds from 400 up to 1200rpm - I mainly use 800rpm for line drying. Bosch was chosen for its reputation and reliability, plus my earlier good experiences with Bosch kitchen appliances. However this particular model is not made in Germany. I also bought a stand to save bending down too low to fill/empty the machine.
Bought this 7kg machine over the more popular 6.5kg Bosch machine for a few reasons: 1) 7kg capacity 2) larger display, and 3) leak safety valve built into the inlet hose. Upon reflection, it is probably better to save ~$200 and go for the standard Bosch 6.5kg machine. But still happy with this one.

Pros: Reliable and quiet.
Cons: More expensive.
Overall: After switching from a top loader I haven't been disappointed with the Bosch. It's very quiet, and performance is great. I like the many cycle options, and washes delicates well. The express wash cycle is very handy as the full cycles are quite long.
