Bosch replaced my Series 8 Front Loading Machine (Model: WAW32640AU) with a brand new Bosch HomeProfessional WAY32891AU under warranty. Absolutely great to deal with on a warranty level.

This new unit is fantastic, the clothes come out amazingly clean much the same as the WAW32640AU. The i-DOS does a great job of keeping my detergent costs reasonable while still making sure the clothes are clean. It's extremely quiet, even on a 1600rpm spin.

Yes it washes and does a lot of other functions, however there are some issues for the washing machine that I wouldn't expect. Mold grows on the front rubber seal as water collects there; the capacity is small for what you pay for; the washing time is very long; I do not get a notification when the detergent dosage is low. It was expensive for what I thought was an excellent product, which I believe is over priced.Lately, I have been only using Bosch home products, however for my next product, I will look at some other brand.

We have recently replaced our older Bosch front loader washing machine with the new and improved model. The new machine cleans as well as the older model. Our old machine used to beep loudly when it was finished and continued periodically until you attended to the machine. The new machine now has a much softer sound and not as shrill. The wash cycles also seem to be a lot quieter than previously as I had to check it was still going. The new machine clearly states the cycle it is on and how long is left. Overall I am still enjoying the Bosch models. The customer care I have received from Bosch previously has been outstanding. I have owned Bosch for a few years now and really like their products.

Bought this at Harvey’s 3 years ago, was told it was top of the range so paid good money for it. It seemed to operate well until clothes started coming out smelly. Even in a well ventilated laundry with drawer left open and door rubber wiped dry each time, mound formed on the dispenser drawer and inner case. Lots of calls and inspections followed. Eventually these and the water shutoff valve were replaced as mould kept returning. 8 months later dispenser is emptying onto floor and mould has returned. Either a manufacturing fault or design defect and to date this has caused unending problems. I’m not alone with problems with Bosch washing machines which are giving the brand a bad reputation.

Extremely happy so far with my Bosch front loader. Every washing feature you need with ability to select speed wash option or eco wash option for most wash cycles and select stain removal feature. Find it a bit odd always having to turn the machine on BEFORE loading but like that it weighs the load. Being on our own tank water I love the 8.5kg eco wash load - superb wash using very little water/power. The matching heat pump dryer is turned on after loading so takes a bit of getting used to doing. Find the light in the drum just wonderful to making sure you grab out every item and the drum wash cycle reminder.

This machine was good until E23 came up on it. Thought I was buying a top brand washing machine with good after care customer service. Purchased 2/15 took out 4 year extended warranty. Machine came up with E23. Called Bosch told me to phone to customer care centre waited over a week for a service person to look at machine, it is now 10 days and haven't heard back. NO family washing machine for 3 weeks now. I will certainly reconsider other brands before I buy Bosch products again if this is what extended warranty service is like

I expected a good quality washing machine from Bosch - unfortunately this has been a disappointing experience as only after a few years a small piece of the rubber seal chipped off which resulted in leakage. I now had the seal replaced (costing me over $300) but would not look for another Bosch appliance or recommend it after this experience even though we have a number of Bosch appliances at home. The technician suggested that the reason would be clothes caught up in the seal - this is not the case as I never had that happen. I see other reviews with the same issue which would indicate some quality issue with the seal. Sadly disappointed with Bosch.
Do not recall the month of purchase but it was some time in 2014.

The design is not fit for the purpose as it allows continual blocking using. Liquid detergent & its difficult to continually clean. The passage are too restrictive for clear flow. The positioning of the electronics makes this operation of cleaning very sensitive it has obviously been designed off the. Computor without practical experience input by a practical engineer

We've had this machine for nearly two years and it hasn't skipped a beat washing everything from mud laden farm clothes to baby onesies. We particularly like the Speed Perfect function which reduces a normal cottons wash to one hour and the eco mode when we're not in a hurry. Also very happy with the woollens cycle and water efficiency, particularly because we use our own tank water. The delayed start is a good option for night time and means your clothes aren't left sitting in the machine for hours on end when you're not home.

We couldn't justify a Miele but very happy with this machine.

Have a Bosch (home professional) its about 14 months old. Today (Saturday of course) the washer decided to display error 23 and emptied its contents of water all through the laundry and passage carpet (new house). Washing is stuck inside and despite following all the recommendations can't get the door to open - so washing needs to sit inside until at least Monday. Even though this is under warrantee I am not sure I could trust it again to wash when I'm not at home. After reading other reviews it seems I'm not the only one to experience this problem. Have spent all day trying to get the water out of our new carpet. Would like to get a more reliable washing machine

I purchased this late January 2015 with extra 3 year warranty,, I had to call for a service as it was leaking,the rubber rim had a tear in. According to Bosch and I was told this applies to all front loaders, this part is not covered by the warranty why? Because when taking the clothes out of the machine you drag the clothes out and this is what causes the tear. We were never told of this when looking at front loader washing machines.
Furthermore they are aware of this, should they not put a better quality seal in their machine to prevent this.
Has anyone out there had a similar issue with their front loader? I would appreciate your response
