Having given away my perfectly good washing machine to my daughter....different brand....I have purchased 4 new washing machines in 4 months. The first 3 were simply VERY poorly made. The first one literally fell apart while spinning, but did wash clean. The 2nd and 3rd machines: same as my original, were so poorly constructed, the programming was shocking, and simply couldn't wash one clean load.
I have had the Bosch 9kg Front Loader for just one week, however, I have found it brilliant. It cleans every load beautifully, even the hand wash...Read more

This is a great machine. We've had it 8 months now so time for a review. Although the first unit that arrived wasn't working out the box and had damage on the side, Binglee arranged a replacement unit almost immediately. I initially called Bosch about the problem and they were very unhelpful and rude - it seems one goes through to their UK callcenter and the lady on the line was rudely giving me advice on a dishwasher not washing machine and then told me theyd send a replacement part which would take 2 weeks! The machine is very quiet and th...Read more

So I've had this particular model for a while now and think I could surmise a review.

The machine is a good looking piece of kit. Its not too ostentatious and will fit any modern home. You have a myriad of programmes to pick from, with 2 allowing you to do a 9KG wash. You can select spin speeds up to 1400rpm (pending programme) which will leave your clothes near bone dry. We mostly wash our clothes on the cotton setting with The speed perfect option selected and it nets us nice clean clothes which are done in about 1 hour. We also utilise the...Read more

I was looking for a new front loader since my current Samsung Front Loader Bubblewash 7.5kg is too small for the growing family. Primary requirement was to ensure it does not vibrate and quiet.

Purchased the Bosch on Monday from Appliances Online and received delivery the next day with installation.

Washed the first load of clothes and was shocked to find out how noisy the machine is whilst it was spinning at 1,200 RPM plus there was vibration. The 5 year old Samsung was way quieter. I decided to give it a chance and used it the next day on ...Read more

Changing our laundry set up from a top loader to a front loader was a big decision for our household (I'm 6'3" and currently pregnant). A lot of thought went into whether it would be right for us especially as we wanted to invest in a heat pump dryer to stack on top of the washer.

Let me just say, what a great decision it was!! Time spent loading the laundry is next to nothing and not a problem if you sort it all out beforehand, water use is minimal which is fantastic, the spin cycle is fast and does a wonderful job in extracting the water co...Read more

As the technician could not find the reason for the fault, therefore by default it must have been our misuse. An item of ours alledgedly fell in the 3mm gap between the drum and rubber then detroyed the inner drum. It is actually impossible as the drum spins at 1000 revs and the item would be havebeen flicked out in a micro second. No item of ours was found that damaged the machine, all guess work.

My machine was 1.5 years old under warranty.

This is my third Bosch washing machine and performs just as well as the others I have had. Very good quality, excellent performance and durability. I like the soap dispenser function on this machine too.

My complaint with this model is that it does not have a SPIN function!! It has RINSE & SPIN but this is a combined function which starts with drawing in more water. If you want to do a quick wash of only a couple of items the machine often does not fully spin as there is not enough load to balance, the result being wet clothes. No spin functi...Read more

Usually wash general family type laundry;towels,sheets,normal daily wear clothes and some delicates. Initial apprehension, about electronic ,screen controls , was quickly dispelled after reading instruction booklet . So far have used most settings , including long Hot settings for big towel load, heavy large sheets on Cotton setting , Quick Setting and delicates. Very satisfied with degree of cleanliness and the very noticeably ,well spun fabric at end of cycles. Delighted with the gentler management of delicates on appropriate setting. Pract...Read more
