We LOVE it !
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!
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
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.

I detest it
I bought this machine new a month ago and I hate it, I have read the instruction book a number of times and no matter how little liquid detergent I use the draw fills with water, have rung Bosch and told to change detergent and quantity because the machine uses so little water. I did as directed and now my clothes and towels are come out with same marks not stains at end of 1.5 hour wash. The towels are so hard and pile flat I can't use them as is, tried an extra rinse which took time to over 2 hours of washing and cuddly to no avail, it is a ...Read more
nightmare. If you put underwear in with towels they come out ruined .You can't tell me this machine is economical I'm waiting for my next power bill. I have never had this trouble EVER, had I bought it second hand it would be out on the footpath by now.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Reclaiming control
Having become so frustrated with the poor performance of my top loading washing machine I explored getting a new one and was impressed by the flexibility this washing machine offered. Wanting to reduce water consumption, this machine promised much, as did the promise of shorter washing cycles and the ability to add washing after the cycle had been started. I’ve now done 8 loads of varying purpose and I can report that what was promised has been delivered. Although it took a while to read the instruction manual, I’m now competent and confident. ...Read more
Changing to this machine has made an enormous difference toward my attitude to washing and the time it takes to complete the task. Gone is the frustration, water waste and time-consuming monitoring. I’m free again!1 comment

Design fault means callout fee $170.
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
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.

Bosch H.Bosch Home Appliances
Hi Wendy, To resolve this we would suggest a few things:
1. Reduce the spin speed for towels to 700-800 rpm, as a high spin will squash the pile on your towels.

so far so good
I purchased this one about 3 months ago. I originally wanted a Fisher & Paykel but somehow went back to my German speaking roots. I must admit my family only ever had Bosch washers. Anyway this model was cheaper as it is made in China not Germany and the parts appear a bit cheap - still hoping that it will last at least 5 years. Just a word of warning. I recently furnished an entire apartment. My experience with buying appliances was shocking, nothing seems to last anymore. The good old days of a washer or fridge lasting 10 years seem gone. How...Read more
can we justify that from an environmental point of view? It seems to be either to spend a lot of money or to buy cheap and to deal with breakdowns in a very short amount of time. I still value quality over price. Hopefully I am not the only one. Anyway time will tell how long this washer will last. Also, if someone wants everything automatic this is not a bad option but if you are like me and want a bit of control, say to determine spin cycles etc. this is not for you. The options of the program are a bit poor and I only every use two programs. I believe Bosch over designed that model. I compare it eg. to a basic Miele whose programs I love. So easy and so relevant. Bosch step up and declutter....1 comment

Simple work
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.
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
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
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
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.

Questions & Answers
Chook305asked
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
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.
