Bosch Series 8 WAX32K41AU

This machine works well except that it is overly sensitive to an unbalanced load and then will not spin. If you have one or two woolen garments to put through it will refuse to spin them. Just finisges the cycle leaving them sopping wet. We have had service guys come out twice during th warranty period, but no joy. The problem remains. Would not buy another bosch because ot this.

Can’t wait to get rid of it – Had it for six months can’t wait to get rid of it. Smells of swampy water. Door doesn’t open at end of wash so if clothes sit there for a couple of hours in summer it’s a rewash. Beeps constantly throughout the cycle and then incessantly once the cycle is finished. If you brush past it in the laundry it switches off. Only spins at 1600. Can’t set to remember your preferred washing cycle. Show details
so quiet so fast – Had old machine for a year (not this brand) so many problems and finally got a refund. So went to a brand i trust Bosch. The old machine had same feature IDOS and the light but different settings. But this machine is great the time quoted on the machine is correct not like the last machine that seemed to add an extra hour. the spin is quiet and no… Read more
vibrations and the cloths come out so dry. Had issues connecting to phone but did not buy for that functions. i do find it funny that ill be a work and get a message stating washing is finished so i can text my wife to let her know as a joke. We loved our old bosch that lasted many years went for a slightly cheaper brand and never again. highly recommended. we bought the German made last time so went that way again. I looked at many reviews for this machine and thought i better write one as i was impressed. FYI i asked the delivery people about brands as they remove the old ones and said they recommend Bosch as the least of the brands they pick up.
Chemical smell – Installed our brand new machine and followed the manual instructions for “before use care”, which required a drum clean. On the first wash the smell coming from the machine was very strong. Smelt like burning plastic/chemical smell. When I opened the door, the inside also smelt. So ran the drum clean several more times. The smell was dissipating… Read more
but was still there.
I then ran the hottest cycle several times. Still the smell was there.
Called Bosch. Was advised that this was normal and the smell would go after 3 days. So I waited and did more empty washes, then I washed some clothes. While I was drying them in the dryer the same chemical smell came out of them.
I called Bosch for the 2nd time. Was advised this was an adhesive used in manufacturing that will dissipate after 13 washes. Why would an adhesive be used that leaks into the drum and on to your clothes? Waited another couple of washes.
Called Bosch again. This time was told the smell was like “new car” smell and will go over time. Could not give me any answers on whether any chemicals/adhesives glues were getting into my clothes. Advised the only way to get an answer was to send a service technician. So more time spent without a working washing machine. Why Bosch are you not able to have technical support answer questions over the phone?
Disappointed that my new machine which was suppose to clean my clothes and had caused my clothes to smell. That I had to waste so much water and money on trying to flush my new machine and that Bosch customer service was not really able to offer any service other then to send a service technician, wasting both mine and their time and money on what is clearly a manufacturing issue!!
A little too water efficient – I purchased this for Home Connect. The other features were acceptable. The premium for Home Connect is pretty excessive, and I got in before the latest price rise. Connection to Wifi is surprisingly easy when compared to other internet of things (IoT) devices. However, I have a complex home nextwork and stuffed up the first attempt. The manual… Read more
wasn't clear in how to restart the connection process, and the manual didn't really align with the steps on the App. But, like I say, better than other IoT devices. The general quality of the machine seems pretty good and what I would expect. My primary issue is the lack of water use. My first load was large, but less than 10 kg, and when taking the clothes out after the wash, some of the clothes or parts of were bone dry and they stank. I split the load in two and had another go. All parts of the clothes were wet to some degree, but inconsistently. Being wet I assume they weighed more and possibly resulted in more water than usual. But, still it seemed parts of the clothes were dry, and still a mild smell. Third time was a charm. It would be great if there was an option to increase the amount of water use, in the same manner that you can tune the i-Dos system. I looked online and in the manual and with all of the various options in this machine, it seems water use is the only thing you can't change. Note the drum clean mode used plenty of water, and there's no issue with water pressure or flow. Even if there was an issue with water pressure of flow, I would expect the machine would be able to compensate for it - not all homes have the same water pressure. I’ve subsequently found the load weight in kg that flashes on the screen before starting the load. It’s always 5 kg, and doesn’t appear to update even after pressing play. I hope this helps someone
Awesome product – All range of clothing and other items for our household. Does exactly as it should, i-Dos is awesome, you can wind back it's automatic delivery amount and still manual dose if you choose. It's a quiet machine compared to other brands we have had and it's very stable in operation. Highly recommend this machine. Show details
Absolute bad customer service and issue with the product – Firstly machine is a problem from the 1st day it was setup. It was leaking water badly. Then i sent an email to Bosch and what i was told is "Thank you for the attachments and due to the increasing number of Covid cases and to ensure the health and safety of both yourself and our technicians we are currently only booking in essential services."… Read more
Now i got a $2000+ machine seating in my house doing nothing. The other worst part is tried to lodge a cashback redemption 2 hours before the end date and it could not go thru. Call the next day to discuss this and they have said i will not be getting my redemption just because the website had issue. Worst part i could not hold anyone when i had that problem since they only work till 5pm and the redemption is upto 1159pm. How is that makes any sense. 100% one of the worst customer service that i have experienced. PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM BOSCH!
Stop working for nearly 3 months – I bought the new series 8 release January 2021 made in Germany. It stopped working just nearly 3 months. I contacted Bosch customer service and they arranged a electrical technician visit to check. They confirmed that machine was defective. After 2 weeks, I have no feedback from bosch yet. I spent 2000 Aud for bad washing machine ever and now I… Read more · 5
must use laundry services. I’m really regret to buy this one. Update: after nearly 1 month, Bosch decided to swap another one for me. I disappointed about Bosch customer service. The first time I had a problem with Bosch’s product. My issue now resolved. Machine is easy to use and run silently. The good thing is that you can stop machine and put more clothes. The app home connect is very convenient and useful too.

washing has finished should you be far away from being able to hear the appliances end of cycle tones, this is my personal favourite feature to prevent me leaving clean washing in the machine overnight. We purchased this new model mainly due to the machine being German made and the 10kg capacity, this also means fewer loads per day or week or the ability to wash a QS washable quilt. The 5 star energy and water ratings and IDOS detergent dosing are all bonuses to an already great washer. I have always purchased Bosch/Siemens washers and dryers over the years for our home and fully furnished investment property because they are so reliable and full of cutting edge technology. Really pleased with this machine, looks fantastic with it's new black and chrome trim and large read out display. Totally worth reading the manual to take advantage of the many functions such as Speed perfect which allows you to reduce the duration of some of your favourite washing cycles with the touch of a button.
