The paddle inside the drum broke after a couple of months of use.
Water also collects at the bottom of the rubber seal and soaks clothes when they are removed after a wash.
The default setting also starts at 60 degrees and it’s not clear how to change it to cold wash permanently.

Love this. Price point is great for a German heritage product without paying for a Meile. Washes clothes unreal, even on quick washes. Good feeling about the low water usage and efficiency. Seems gentle on clothes, unlike our previous top loader. Nothing bad to say- this is the one. If you’re nervous coming from a top loader, don’t be.

Love this machine just gose so we'll never hose off balance if it does it atomaticaly fix it self so easy to keep clean with the stainless steel tank filters easy to take out and wash and put back clothing have came out like new again even clothing the kids have had for couple of years

The Bosch Washing Machine is quiet and energy efficient. It provides clear choices for Sports, Delicates, Cottons, Wools that are easy for both of us to use. The Bosch allows you to manually adjust the setting to a cooler or hotter option. The spin is so great that you need much less time drying.

I was sceptical about how well spun my clothes would be after only ever having F&P top loaders but I am pleasantly surprised. Great wash as well. The only drawback I've found is being an 8kg washer there is only 1 setting I can do an 8kg load on, every other setting is only 4kg or less. No kids at home anymore so much less washing but I think this is still a bit misleading.

From the quality of the brand, the reliability and the price we couldn't go past the Bosch. We had a Bosch previously and it lasted 12 years. This new one is bigger, so quiet and alot more powerful which makes the clothes drier after the spin cycle. It has an easy to use control board, great water saving rating and is really stylish.
