The Bosch front loader isn't built to last if you have a family – The Bosch front loader is easy to use & has a 15 minute quick wash cycle which is really handy for those lightly stained clothes. It was wonderful for the first year & then it started to struggle. It slowly become noisy when it was on spin & it leaked water out of the washing powder tray. I have had mine for only three years & it has just broken down & after a technician visit of 15 mins & $99 later I am told it is not worth reparing as it is going to be the same cost as a new one. I really thought a washing machine was built to last longer than 3 years. It was under a 2 year waranty. Would I buy another one? NO! I like the model & it is so easy to use. The quick cylce is a bonus when you just have a few things to wash. It simply didn't last. You would expect a washing machine to last longer than 3 years. May be it is only built for a very clean single. person. Very disappointing!
