We LOVE it !

published

OK, so we've only had this washer for 2 weeks but so far so good. Quiet, fast, smooth and efficient. Our old Hitachi front loader lasted 13 years and I believe Bosch made the Hitachi. The 15 or 30 minutes quick wash are great for slightly soiled clothes. We usually wash in cold water. I'll add to this review if any problems arise in the coming years.

Good buy!

published

This machine can do what you want it to do either depending on time or on how you want your washing be done. So quiet and so efficient.
I can run eco when I get to have the time and when washing not so dirty clothes or speed if I want to finish things fast.
You really get what you pay for!

Super silence with quick wash

published

We bought this washing machine in October 2018. It’s easy to use with quick wash option which could save us power bill and save water usage.
I'm very impress how quiet the machine is running/performing unlike other washing machines that we had before. Overall we are very happy and definitely will buy this brand again in future.

Design fault means callout fee $170.

published

Cycles quite long
Clothes sometimes wet
Regular clothes
Design fault where only a plumber can open the drain pipe so you pay $170
Have become aware that future issues include replacing rubber
Not confident in using the machine
Bought similar machine and the error we received at 18 months we received with the other after 6 years.

Great Washing Machine

published

Bought my Bosch WAN22120AU 7.5kg front loader after having a top loader for years. At first I thought it would be quite complicated to use as it has a lot of different cycles as opposed to my old one but it has been very easy. Heats the water itself (I only have cold water tap), is very quiet and water use friendly. You have to soak up a little water that collects in the rubber ring when cycle has finished and then leave door open to air it, but that is the only down side to this machine. (By doing this, the seal lasts longer and doesn't smell). Great machine and I have no complaints. Looks good too. I bought this one after reading lots of reviews from others - I didn't come across a negative one and the price was good.

Great Front Loading Washer

published

We now have 4 of the Bosch front loading washing machines and found them very reliable.
They are economical to use ans always seem to have the perfect cycle to select.
Yes there are several models called series and this year we bought the series 3 model.
Also I believe that there would be other front loader models and we do indeed have an AEG front loader, however I recommend that you use the the Bosch front loaders because it is less expensive and thus allows you to stick with the one brand over time.
We found the Good Guys Oxley were good to deal with and we bought the machine at a run-out price.

Best purchase ever.

published

I purchased my Bosch 7.5 Frontloader washing machine to replace a very old one. My new machine is so quiet, saves on power, detergent and water. It is amazing how much I can fit in a single load. So many settings to choose from. Highly recommend this machine. My old machine was so noisy and took up too much room in the laundry. The Bosch is very compact.

Don't be fooled by the German name.

published

Disappointed with my first Bosch purchase, I had to replace a 10 year old Samsung front load washing machine that hadn't skipped a beat during that time. I was talked into purchasing Bosch over Samsung by the sales consultant because Bosch was supposed to be better. The washing machine has died after 5 months, a faulty power board which is unusual for a machine only 5 months old. The Bosch customer service team were prompt in getting back to me but the 9 day turnaround to have the machine fixed was an inconvenience.

First time front-loading - love it

published

We weren't sure how this would go in our small euro laundry. Turned out to be perfect. Quiet, and efficient we're more than pleased with our first front load purchase.
Ideal for an apartment or small space.
We would recommend and would certainly look at the Bosch brand in future

This machine is excellent.

published

The machine is very quiet and washes all clothes really well.
All the features and controls are well displayed.
The only issue I have is with washing towels. They come out hard. I've tried a lower spin, also added fabric softener. Slight improvement, but still hard.
The cycle times are all good, and I am satisfied with the machine on the whole.

Simple work

published

After a smooth 14 year run with my previous front load Bosch washer, I chose to stick with the brand. At first I wasn't too thrilled about learning all the button options, but now I LOVE it. 15 or 30 min cycles for only slightly soiled clothes, extremely gentle cycles for delicate's and a good choice of options for anything else. Reduce spin feature is also a winner for delicate fabrics. Took a little time to transition from a very basic original Bosch front loader, but the options are a fantastic improvement.

Great so far.

published

Good machine that it does its job (reluctant to give it better rating at this early stage). More than happy with it. Going on experience with this model so far, would definitely buy another Bosch. Excellent wash -removes collar stains without fabric stain remover. Fairly quiet. Cycles are a little long, but it washes clothes well and to me that's what matters.

Fantastic Washer that does it's job

published

This is a 7.5kg washer that is very quiet and effective. It has all different functions from kids clothing to dark wash to quick wash and even quilt wash functions. The wash is gentle on the clothes and the clothes come out clean. Very happy with the machine had it for 2 months now. Especially love the time delay function where I can set the time I want the clothes to be done. User friendly machine. Highly recommend for the price and quality you get from it.

Conked out after 8 years

published

Worked OK when it worked - i.e. did a pretty good job of washing. Electronics fried themselves after 8 years and parts are very expensive so its debatable whether it is worth fixing. Almost as bad as AEG which lasted an even shorter time! Will get a Japanese brand, they are bound to last better!

Easy to use and schedule

published

Great functional washing machine. The last cycle does sound like it will lift off but it is still quiet enough and stable. Recommend to use the schedule so that you can have your washing ready when you need it. If you use the top as storage it will vibrate a little bit so just be wary that it might fall off.

Serie 4 WAN22120AU

How do I know the max load? I’ve looked online and in the manual.
And also how do I access the superQuick cycle but for 30 mins not 15?

2 answers
Stuart Sexton
Stuart Sexton

Machine is rated for 7.5kg. Dry or wet? I assume dry weight.
You can change the superquick speed if you set the dial first to superquick, then press the Speed Eco button. This should change the displayed time from 15 minutes to 30 minutes, or vice versa.

Hi,
Thanks for your question regarding the Bosch WAN22120AU.
There should have been a second document provided showing this information. If you didn't receive it, please let us know and we can send a digital copy via email. With the 15/30 minute cycle the Speed Eco option changes between the 2.

Hi,
Is this washing machine stackable?
Can I put a dryer on top of it?
Do they need to be exactly the same size for width and length?
