First Front Loader and love it!

published

Purchased this product as my very first front loader. I do love the quiet and efficiency of the machine. The manual is user friendly with many programs to suit. The finish wash is great and I like the beeper when finished as I can hear it from the end off the house.

I did research front loader machines prior to purchase. I am very happy with my choice and picked the machine up on sale so that was a bonus!

Sensational Washing machine

published

I had to buy a washing machine quickly four weeks ago. My dream was a Bosch though I had to get machine at a budget. This one was only 100 more than the cheap one at Good Guys. Really happy with the model. Efficient with small amount of detergent required. Highly recommend.

Washes OK, but too many problems

published

Washes OK and is quite, however first week something got stuck in the outlet pipe and the entire machine had to be drained, and now after 3 months the seal st the front is damaged. Bosch's line is this is because of usage, not covered by warranty, $200 plus dollars to repair, blah blah blah. Look for something else.

Probably a good machine, however the operating instructions are very poor.

published

I've just purchased and installed an WAN22120AU, It's too early to comment on it's performance but I must say the operation manual leaves a lot to be desired, not a single mention of how to perform a drum clean and also the instructions regarding refitting to transit bolts when moving house are next to non existent.

Moves around very aggressively when spinning fast

published

Every time we run the washing machine, it moves around very aggressively and nearly knocks the dryer off from above it. It knocks open the laundry doors and makes a very loud noise! We have made sure that the machine is level.

How can we fix this?

Rubber seal faulty??

published

Is the rubber seal splitting a known fault with this model? My machine has just started leaking water through the door when in operation and it appears that the seal is faulty. Interested to hear other people's experience as this appears to be a common issues. If it's a fault - is it covered by the warranty?

So - would would I have a claim to make under consumer law? Surely the seal should reasonably last as long as the minimum warranty on the machine itself e.g. 2 years.

Very quiet & easy to use

published

Running so quiet & very easy to use, my 70-year old mom loves it so much.

What a very clever design of holes on the rubber seal to lose the drain to avoid mold.

Maybe my socket is too high, the wire is not long enough to me.

Very nice machine

published

My old LG died and want to get a better one. In my home country I had a bosch which was going good evening after 18 years. So didn't have a second thought and got this.

Am Happy with the performance, no complaints so far. (This model is made in China).

I bought this from appliancesonline and the installation was part of the cost. But the delivery guy refused to do the installation saying that he was not asked to do so. But that is a different thing. (I installed it myself)

The machine is fine and it does what it is best at.

Great Value

published

Replaced a 17 year old Bosch washing machine with the equivalent model in Jan 2022 when on sale and considering it was much cheaper, I am very pleased so far. It produces excellent results, has more programs than I need, larger capacity drum and I can wash doonas and pillows at home for the first time. It is quiet and efficient in use, the only complaint would be that it can take hours to complete a cottons program, I usually use a mixed program which takes about an hour. It has speed and eco options, which I don't use except for very long washes, and an extra rinse option which I always use. Overall, a very good washing machine and great value.

Happy to own it

published

We replaced an older 6kg frontloader that became a bit noisy with this machine and the change was painless and easy. The machine is good quality, works well and is very quiet during the washing cycle.
Very quiet operation, minimal movement and no walking when spinning. Happy with result. Depth of machine is good so can fit in small space.
The delivery team was extremely nice and the speed of the delivery was remarkable. Thumbs up. The only criticism is that although is sold as a 7.5kg washing machine, according to the manual several programs are limited to 4kg.

Purchased at The Good Guys.

I am loving this washing machine so far! No problems.

published

- I purchased this washing machine on a 20% off The Good Guys eBay sale. Free Click & Collect.
- There are two of us living in the house, and we complete about 2-3 washes per week.
- So far, 95% of the time we use the 15min/30min quick cycle. It washes the clothes well enough and is very time and energy efficient as it uses cold water.
- The machine is not noisy and it feels well-built.
- I would definitely recommend this washing machine to others!

How to clean drum

1 answer
Bosch Home Appliances
Bosch H.Bosch Home Appliances

Hi Jennifer W., Thank you for your question. We would recommend cleaning your washing machine every 2- 3 months. If there are odours in the washing machine, or if you just want to clean the drum, run the 'Drum Clean' programme or Cottons 90 C programme without laundry. Use a chlorine-free cleaning agent (1-2 cups of vinegar works just as well) pour into an empty machine. When cycle is done, wipe inside drum of washer with a damp microfiber cloth. If you need any more help feel free to call us on 1300 369 744. Regards, Bosch Home Australia.
