It maybe the cycle I use . Can anyone suggest which would be better cycle?

A second time buy this product
This is a second same product I bought. The first one I used for one year and sold due to job relocation in different city. Before I bought one in months ago I was using samsung Top loaded washing machine as I want to wait this product price drop. The top load washing machine is annoying, first during the spinning, the body shaking even it sits stable on the floor. Second it tears and wears clothes, especially the collars. Fortunately it was on sale in DJ, and I bought it in again. It is quiet running and not damage clothes like the top load one. It is has more models to select for different fabrics. Made in Germany and I expect it will work a long time. I am happy with energy rating which will save a lot compared with top load unit.
Purchased at David Jones Online Store for $953.00.

Great washing machine
This is my first BOSCH washing machine, and first front loader. I’ve had it for 4 years now and still running like a dream. I wash a lot of delicates (silk, woollens etc) and have had no trouble with keeping them safe during wash cycles. I also wash a lot of baby and kids clothes, and have had no dramas with getting those back to white. Its also quiet while running, and user friendly. Definitely happy with this purchase.

Easy to use
Has a very high energy rating which means it uses less water and costs less to run. Washes my clothes on the shorter cycle most of the time I wash everything in the washing machine including delicates and woollens. I am very satisfied with the features and controls, including the flexibility to change wash cycles to suit my clothes. I bought the machine made in Germany.

Seems to be going well so far
My Electrolux time saver front loader died after only 8 years. It seemed as though the motor was stuffed as it just was doing strange things and not working. A quick look at the Choice website & magazine found a washing machine article. To date, I have not had any issues with Bosch products. There was a Bosch washing machine that made the recommended list. But as this was an urgent purchase (i.e. the weekend) and I needed a machine quickly. Unfortunately I couldn't get the model I wanted which was the WAT series. This one was just outside the r...Read more
ecommended list but only by a few percentage points. Not statistically significant. Got a good price on it & home delivered. In the shop & out of the box it looks good. Instruction book is comprehensive. A word of warning to the uninitiated, a Bosch product without the 'Made in Germany' sticker on it is not made in Germany if that is important to you. It was to me. This machine is overly complicated with technology. I miss the old electro-mechanical operated machines. This machine gives so many options that I am always referring to the operation manual until I get used to using it. The only gripe that I have is that the power cord in only 1.3 metres long. I had to use a short extension cord to get power to it where I have it in my laundry. A minor but surprising thing. However, the display is easy to understand, the anti flood inlet hose is good. The spin speed options are great and it is very quiet when operating. I get a bit of shock through the water pipes of the house when the inlet valves shut during operation. Cleaning seems to be good to date. Lots of washing program options but you have to understand the weight of clothes that you can put in as per the manual when selecting a particular washing setting. Cold water input only, but that is not an issue for me. Motor guarantee is 10 years, but only 2 years on the electronics, which is why I miss the electro-mechanical switches of earlier machines. On the whole, this seems to be a good washing machine, but as with most things, time will tell.Purchased in February 2021 at The Good Guys for $984.00.

Constantly leaks, broken one year out of warranty
I have purchased all my appliances in Bosch. I have had either defects, breakdowns or problems with all of them. My very expensive microwave constantly beeps. My dishwasher constantly gets locked into cycles I can't turn off, or only turns on half the time. My dryer scratches after only 2 years, and it constantly turns itself off when the clothes are still wet.
Now my Bosch washing machine, which leaks incessantly by the way, has died after only 2.5 years. Luckily I have bought an extension warranty, however I am being told I have have to wait...Read more

So far so good
This machine cops an absolute flogging and does it with ease. Replaced a Panasonic 10 kg which was a piece of junk and only just outlasted the warranty. The Bosch is only just over a year old but has not missed a beat and is as near to perfect as you can get. It is worth a few extra bucks to get the real German made Bosch units.

It worked great untill it broke down. I have purchased extended warranty from David Jones so I hope that the repair will be quick and reliable. I have to wait till Monday to get someone to talk to me about repairs. I expected better quality and durability from Bosch.

Works fine but died in 7 years!
Washes clothes alright but most of the time needs to do double rinse.
Not much noticeable variations in the different settings except for the obvious - time, speed, which can be done manually.
Have to clean the dispenser after every wash because there's always leftover that causes mold if left unattended.
Smelly molds grow on the cover rubber lid due to water not properly draining after washing.

Design fault
We have had the service man to this machine twice and now require a 3rd visit. And we purchased it 12months ago. The design of the pump filter cap won't open if there is something caught behind it. Eg button coins etc. The cap has now snapped due to blockages. We are looking for another machine as the service fees add up to a new one! It's a shame as we have no issues with the machines ability to wash clothes.

Perfect buy..after all It's BOSCH :)
We were using Samsung washing machine for last 3yrs and It started troubling us. We checked all parameters to fix it but had no luck so we started looking for new washer. We went to JB HiFi to check out various models of LG, Samsung, Electrolux and Bosch within 9kg to 10kg capacity. After doing so much of research and comparison, we even came to a conclusion that Electrolux is the best when we see electricity + water consumption, feedback from current customers, capacity of machine and price. Though we weren't convinced because JB HiFi had limi...Read more
ted Bosch machines. Then we went to Good Guys store to see other options in Bosch and they had more than 4 models to choose from. We checked each models closely and saw functions of each models and also read customer reviews. It took us nearly an hour to finalise and we ended up buying Bosch WAW28440AU (I think we saved so much after a great bargain) Paid only $860 for the machine and $165 for 5yrs extended warranty!!! We tested our machine as soon as we set it up at our home. It ran amazingly and the results were great. I know there are people complaining about certain cycles which doesn't allow you to have 9kg load but once you play with each settings you will know it better. We are 100% satisfied with our machine and now we are planning to buy Bosch dryer with Heat pump technology and I am sure Bosch would certainly be the best for that too :)Purchased in March 2021 at The Good Guys for $860.00.

Good machine, but capacity is a bit untrue.
Hey Bosch, this is an 8kg washing machine. Why can you only put 8kg of in the machine on the cotton cycles? All the other cycles on this machine have a lower capacity. Am I missing something here? This does not make any sense.

Almost perfect.
I really like this machine which replaced my Asko. It washes well, is very quiet, and has a good selection of different wash cycles. My only negative is that almost all of our clothes are wash and wear type and have never had creases in them when they have come out of the machine. However even on the lowest spin cycle possible they end up with creases which is annoying because they are fabrics which can’t be ironed.

Motherboard dead
Llike the previous reviewer i also purchased this washing machine in 2011 and have been told today by the Bosch service guy the motherboard has died. The replacement cost is $597 Plus labour. Considering the Bosch machines are now retailing for around this amount certainly not worth fixing it. Very disappointed in this product as it cost $1175 and was a low use machine.
Also customer service didn't clarify their call out fee of $110 included 20 minutes of labour (the service guy told me) only kept saying the call out fee plus $9.90 per 6 minutes. Maybe some updates on standard call processes need to be amended.
Needless to say i won't be looking at another Bosch machine.
