Awesome machine
I bought this machine 2nd hand. Couldn't tell you how long they had it but it seemed in good condition. We wash every day. Anywhere from 1-6 loads a day, most often 3 or so. Cloth nappies and messy kids mean this machine is put through its paces. This machine is a total work house. Clothes come out great every time. It has heaps of options, many unnecessary because you can just change your own settings, but possibly useful. Good and very useful 15 minute quick wash (which actually takes closer to 30 minutes). This machine just keeps going...Read more
. Many complain of mold in front loader and I was worried but honestly even with how often I use it, as long as you air it out it's fine. The machine is noisey when spinning i guess, but aren't they all? Nothing excessive in my opinion, our last top loader was old and just as loud if not louder. Super useful pre rise and timer functions, just all round a great machine. I would fill my house with Bosch products, I've had nothing but success with them.Purchased at Mrs Secondhand for $299.00.

My washing machine broke only 2.5 years old!!!
This is my first ever washing machine and i have not been able to wash my clothes for 2 weeks now. Washing machine is faulty. Does not work only 2.5 years old.
I have checked the vents and all to see if there's any blockages, none I can see of. When i called Bosch customer care; the consultant had NO empathy, did not care. I am very unhappy and disappointed with the washing machine and the whole experience. Bosch Please help!!

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!

failed within about that time. It hasn't been used very heavily at all - the electronics have failed - it is mechanically OK. We have decided to get it fixed and it is costing NZ ~$500 to do so. The parts are taking a while to arrive.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Works real well
So far we have only had 1 little hic-up but these thing are not made to last, like everything it is all replaceable and in saying this it allows new stock to come in for us to buy.

Wicked machine just having slight water problem!
Had this machine for almost 2 years, never had any problems such an efficient washer! Did recently move and now water doesn't seem to be getting through the machine? Even though the tap is attached and on and there are no problems with the cycles, just can't get enough water in the machine?

I have been using this washing machine for more than 2 years now and it is a great washing machine except it makes the clothes all wrinkled. It would be great if a washing machine is made with anti wrinkle feature yet still able to spin the clothes to dry.

Great budget washer
We bought this to replace a faulty Haier washing machine, and so far it hasn't missed a beat. Clothes come out quite dry, but feel clean and soft. Surprisingly fits quite a bit inside too!
It does spin quite loudly, but shutting the laundry cupboard blocks out almost all the noise. I wouldn't consider noise to be a problem at all.

Simple washing machine.
It takes about 40 litres of water per wash. The size is good for 2 people once a week washing. Like most washing machine it can get quite loud. It cleans and washes the colthes realatively clean. Would be nice to have self cleaning feature as the rubber sealent at the front get mouldy.

Simple and quiet
I have been using this washing machine now for nearly a year now.
It's quiet and very simple to use.
One annoying thing is that when it finishes it keeps beeping until you actually unload it. I would prefer if it beeped once or twice and not forever. But it's a small thing. At least you don't forget you have clothes to hang :)
Bottom line is that it's simple to use, quiet, has a good range of programs, and clothes are clean and not destroyed.
1100 RPM is plenty good.
Price is quite reasonable too.

very good machine
This machine did a very good job to clean the cloths from my family, the function well enough for different purpose.
As a front load, the noise was not bad.
Did many reviews before I got this machine, quite happy with my decision.
So far this machine been running at least three times a week, no issues at all.
Highly recommended for small family.

Excellent warranty, service, and support
Like all of the Bosch products, this one came with superb service and warranty. This was the first "brand new" washing machine that I purchased and I feel as though I will be using this for a very long time. It has an excellent 15-minute wash feature that I use consistently.

The cycle is too long
I find the normal washing cycle is way too long. Most of the time we use the 15 minutes function and just customise the rinsing time.
I find the ending singing tone annoying, it is unusually long, just so future buyers know. I also had an issue the first time using it where I put too little clothes in it and it didnt end up draining properly.

Simple and Reliable
Very easy to understand and has a lot of features which I actually haven't used but the variety is good. Quite loud but I think most are. Clothes are washed well. I would say my favourite feature is the short descriptions of what material you are washing, it's simple and clear.

Reliable and efficient
Replaced my Simpson with this machine.
Great warranty.
Easy to use.
Excellent water and energy rating. Heats its own water so no hot water connection required.
Mixed cycle takes 54 minutes and my washing comes out spotless. Cotton and linen takes 1.5 hrs but the extra time brings linen out crisp and perfect everytime.
Machine is quiet and unobtrusive.
Nice big bowl takes huge load.
Very happy with this front loader . Use it daily. No issues at all with this machine.

Brought it for the brand name!
The quick wash is what you want if needed but prefer the normal wash so it doesn't thrash your clothes . A bit on the noisey side when on spin cycle but just close the laundry door .The good thing was the price because brought it on a sale, bargain .

Perfect front loader, very reliable
We have always used front loader washing machines in our lives, coming from Germany they are the product of choice over there. There is nothing good or bad I can say...it just does the job effectively. It has more washing programs that we need, most of the time we select the 50min quick wash program. We only use laundry liquid and fabric softener, and not even a brand name, and it does the job perfectly. Spinning makes the clothes and linen 70% dry already. We are happy.

Good overall, but does have some issues.
Bought this washing machine in September 2016.
It seems to be a good job as what it is designed to do - making the clothing clean. However, I find there are some issues with this model. It gets out of balance easily and does not spin properly - have to restart the load quite often if it is a large load or has some large items. The water does not drain completely from the rubber fittings and I have to wipe those to avoid mould growth. Lastly, when the load is done, this machine just beeps, and beeps, and beeps, and beeps which is highly annoying - one beep would have been enough.
Due to these issues, while it is an OK machine, I would not buy it again..

Best and fastest washer I have ever had
Pros:
- plenty of quick wash options (from 15 to 60 minutes), enough for most washing needs we have!
- clothes are clean and fresh, there's no excessive wear from washing
- good handling of delicate clothes
- very quiet
- solid build
We've been using it for 8 months now, not a single issue with it. Best choice we have ever made!

Bosch Washing Machine WAE22466AU/96 FD No 9605
I lodged a complaint regarding the excessive noise produced by the washing machine with Bosch on 15th of April. A service personnel was sent and since I wasn't available I requested a friend to give access to the unit to the service person to repair the machine. The service personnel recommended that the drum requires changing and he came back again another day to replace the drum. Once the drum was replaced the personnel left without checking for any cycle completion. That evening I tried washing clothes and I found out that the noise was stil...Read more
l there and the washing cycle which was 32 mins in delicate option now took 2.5 hours. The person who tried repairing the machine for just a small noise problem created a big problem with the machine. Now we are not able to get hold of Bosch service team. They stopped responding to us after their last mail DATED JUNE 20TH 2018 stating that their technical team is working on investigating the issue created by their technical team. The warranty is expiring on 3rd of the Sept and we have lost hope that Bosch will try to replace the machine. I have never experienced such awful service from any provider in Australia. I thought consumers are protected with these kinds of genuine issues. This is frustrating and a harassing experience with Bosch and their service team. I really advice that do not buy Bosch Products as you can't expect a professional service. You might think Bosch is a reputed brand like how we believed but it might have been a reputed company way way back but not anymore. Just got an email on 27th July asking for the proof of purchase to replace the machine. Which was provided now just waiting for them to replace the machine.Similar opinion?
