Typical German Quality – This is my second Bosch front-loader. I bought one in 2008 from Myer for a few hundred dollars more, and needed another for a unit we bought on the coast. I got it to save water during the drought and it's very stingy on that. Our machine does standard laundry and also grubby farm clothes, refreshes pillows and I have never had a fault or complaint with it. I use a variety of the wash cycles depending on the cleaning needs and I'm impressed how well it handles what we throw at it. To dampen noise and the vibration from the spin cycles, I recommend you purchase a rubber mat and place it under the machine.

Highly recommend any Bosch products, they are well designed and made. Great water conservation, energy efficient and reliable
