Works well! Worth buy!

published

Fully automatic, the quick wash is great. It can handle heavy duty and delicate loads. It is easy to use and there's a lot of program available for washing. The delicate cycle works well, have never had any issues with it. Worth buy, highly recommended.

Purchased in October 2021.

GOOD ALLROUNDER

published

This machine replaced our 22 year old, 5kg, Bosch (also made in Germany). To date this machine is quiet, has good features such as a 15min. short cycle & a quiet spin that results in much drier clothes. Hoping now for another 21 years of reliable service!

Purchased in October 2021 at JB Hifi Home for $923.00.

Everything I was looking for.

published

I had a list of requirements of my new washing machine. It was to have a quick wash - this has one of 15/30mins; variable temperatures on each setting; adjustable spin speeds, high spin speed; good capacity; quiet operation; and no annoying sing-song notification. This machine does the lot, and a whole lot more to boot! I previously had a Bosch of 10yrs+ so I knew it was a brand I could rely on.

Quieter than expected and efficient

published

We've had this one for over a month now and it's been more than enough for our small family. We tend to use it around 4 times a week with a couple of little washes in between. Like many people are saying it's surprisingly quiet and also spins really well so drying times have been great. Generally very happy and would recommend for other small families.

Great front loader

Purchased Bosh washing machine and was not disappointed with their washing. Was surprised how good the quick wash 15 minutes was and of course the cycles. It is a bit loud though.

Superb front loader

published

Purchased this end July and very happy with the machine. There are many wash cycles ranging from 15min quick wash, 45 minutes, 1 hour etc. I found the cotton 1 hr to be suitable for all my clothes, bed linen and towels. I was a bit worried about the controls as my previous Whirlpool had fairly simple settings but it was very easy to use. The controls can be quite sensitive so just take a bit of care what you press. It is very, very quite and on my first wash I had to check a few times that it was actually working. Overall very happy with the Bosch and due to a special promotion, I also got 12 bottles of wine. So happy washing and happy drinking!

Purchased at Harvey Norman for $1,059.00.

Quality European built exceptionally clean washer

This machine handles all types of washing with ease including heavy work clothes as well as sheets and delicates. It washes our clothes clean every time.
Easily operated controls with excellent spin features and the choice of cycle times met all our washing requirements. It should be noted that we found professional installation is essential to the successful working of this appliance.

EXCELLENT RESULTS

published

Well I am a Bosch fan. Bought this machine and found it easy to understand. The ability to choose the correct wash cycles with ease. I found that the model is as great as my last Bosch. My clothes are clean - they come out with ease. The clothes are spun out to perfection. The drum is a great size and can handle my linen load 2 large queen sheets - 4 pillow cases and the trow rug. excellent results. It is easy to clean out the drum and rubber seals.

Very happy with this purchase

published

Bought this to replace Asko eco model which I had for 6 years. Nothing but problems. This one works like a dream with a nice big drum. Have had machine now for nearly 3 months and all seems good. Washes well, with many cycles to choose from. Big enough for my king doona insert. Only minus which is a small one is that the door does not open once cycle has been completed. This feature was on the Asko

Does wash well, confusing to begin with but once wash cycles sorted it is ok, probably not the best of Bosch, but a good machine none the less. Would recommend

I liked the fact it had several options for wash cycles and easy functions
not hard to use and it also had a self cleaning cycle that was really great and being a German brand I ended up buying a fridge
now I love all Bosch products

I am officially a front loader convert!!

published

My trusty top loader died recently so I crossed over and bought a Bosch front loader. What a miracle worker. Silent, energy and water efficient, a great variety of cycles to suit all types of washing. I was a bit worried about overloading but easy to read cycle features make for less worry. And no bunny hopping across the laundry floor! Thanks for making laundry day a breeze Bosch. Love my new machine!!!
