Have had a Bosch for 10 years now and it hasn’t missed a beat
To save $ we use the delay function and wash off peak, the stain function is awesome, also the 15 minute wash is great for towels. The energy efficiency is fantastic.

My new Bosch
Upgraded after 12 year to another Bosch washing machine. Love it. Went for the bit bigger size so it can wash my quilt. Did a great job on a quilt last week. We use rain water and with the low water consumption this is a great machine and very easy to use. Is quieter than my previous Bosch. Would recommend it.

Look no further.. this is by far THE best front loader
Our Bosche front loader has had its fair work out. Zero issues in ten years. The fast 15 minute cycle and choice of temperatures is a must have in the modern time poor world. The extra spin is the perfect way to have near dry washing to hang out, making it less time to dry on the line. Clean clothes come from the detergent you use however the wash action of the Bosche ensures your detergent gets in and cleans your fabrics. The stainless steel bowl size takes king size blankets and washes and spins with ease unlike other machines that wobble ou...Read more
t of control making deafening noise. You won’t get that with the Bosche. The other wash cycles are perfect fir special attention like long was, delicates, hot and varying temperatures down to cold. Inserting your detergent and stain removal and softener products is simple and has separate drawers to never mixup where each product goes. A 10/10 essential machine. Like I said, look no further.1 comment

Effficient and effective
This is my second Bosch washing machine. I wash multiple loads every day and this machine never lets me down. I love the 15 and 30 minute cycles for quick loads. Being able to stop the load to add items is a real bonus for a front loader machine. I like the clean cycle as well to maintain the machine. I would highly recommend this machine.

A very efficient washer
This is an ideal washer.
It does a very good job on all my clothes, and it can be trusted with delicates, and fine woolens as well .
It saves on water and on power.
It is a workhorse and is running every day for me with no problems.

Fantastic washing machine; cleans to my high standards. Especially when my partner is in demolition and I need to get rid of dirt, dust and debris. Only down fall is when it finishes its cycle it continues to beep to alert you so washing during the night isn’t the best haha

good efficient washing machine
I previously had a Bosch washing machine for 15 years before purchasing this new one. I am very satisfied with its performance. Clothes even on a low setting come out very clean and rung out well. It get rids of most of the lint, hair etc by depositing it in the seal of the door. Very easy to clean out. It is energy efficient using very little water. I can wash my doona, sheets and clothes without any effort at all. The only down side is the washes are fairly long even on the lower settings. However this most probably because of the amount of water it uses. All round an excellent washing machine, and would highly recommend it.

Love this machine. I've always had a Top Loader and when it was time to get a new machine I thought I would try out this new technology, So glad I did. It's quiet and washes the clothes really well. There are so many choices of wash cycles … It's great for all types of clothes, I will never go back to a top loader

The machine died within 18 months a complete lemon.
Pros: Washed beautifully at first, totally loved the Bosch machine, handled a small family loads. Clothes came out clean with nil lint. Features were functional, the wool programme left woollens soft and in shape. The shirt programme was brilliant leaving shirts with no wrinkles.
Cons: Lasted only 12 months before the machine slowly displayed irregularities.
For example: The 15 minute quick wash would extend to 45 minutes, or the 1400 fast spin defaulted to 800 spin during cycle with nil error alert. The quality of dirt removal decreased o...Read more

Seal is the weakest point and not very heavy use has flooded our laundry
Constant black mould in and around the silly seal and its also very fragile and ours now has a little tear and has rendered the machine unusable as it will now always flood the laundry.
From what I have read this is a common plague and not covered under warrantly.
There is only 2 of us and the machine gets hardly any use and not even 2 years old yet.
Regret getting this completely and going back to top loader where we never had to leave the door open and clean the seal and rim to avoid mould issues. Its a machine to wash our clothes and we...Read more
end up cleaning the machine more than our clothes. Bad design. ebay have replacement seals for $99 but the install is no simple task requiring the whole front to come off and the seal itself is held in with wire spring cables.1 comment

Fantastic Machine
This is our first washing machine suits a small family perfectly. So far clothes are all washed perfectly, nothing has been damaged not even delicates or lacey tops.
The only downside is the minimal options for modes. You can always customise the settings to change the spin speed, temperature and hold long the cycle goes for however there are not as many options for quick selection as I would like.
Overall so far has met all expectations of a front loader.

Not what I expected!
I ordered this washing machine yesterday from Appliances Online and got it delivered today! Extremely happy with the fast delivery, price and delivery guys BUT not very happy with the quality of the product. First we found out that the water inlet hose was not included (lucky the delivery guys were still here and we could take out the hose from the old washer to use) and after a trial wash I realised that it was not as quiet as stated in all product descriptions! I was told that BOSCH was contacted and they would call me next week to organise t...Read more
he water inlet hose to be sent in 2-3 weeks. Do they have to order it from Germany? Not a good reputation for BOSCH when it comes to customer service! I washed some cleaning clothes and a small bath mat with 40 degrees, 1400 rpm and 45 minutes. My old washer (Electrolux) was as loud as this new BOSCH in the spinning cycle! I had to turn up the volume of my TV in the other room to overpower the noise of the washing machine! I've got a lot of BOSCH tools and have always been happy but when it comes to washing machines, BOSCH needs to up their quality by a lot. Not only do I have to use the old hose for the next 2-3 weeks but it is a "normal" hose, not the "Aqua Stop" hose which should have been included. The only reason for choosing this washing machine was the quiet spinning cycle. I have a friend who has got this machine and when I heard it spinning once, I was totally impressed, thinking that this would be my next one too. Very disappointed (wish I had bought a "Siemens" which was my 2nd choice) and would not recommend!4 comments

multiple times to multiple people until I reach the responsible person. May I remind you that a missing hose, worth $ 264.00, is NOT MY FAULT and should therefore be dealt with by BOSCH!!!!

Thanks for nothing and I will definitely stay away from your home appliances in the future, just like so many other disappointed customers of yours!!!Bosch H.Bosch Home Appliances

An update after 3 years
My previous review of this machine was excellent. It replaced another machine that packed it in a bit too early.
This machine washes well and is still relatively quiet. No problems up until now.
It has started leaking water from the door and im guessing its the door seal.
Currently, its not constant and I will monitor it, however, im extremely disappointed in this brand.
Nearly every appliance in my house is Bosch. And so its not easy for me to say this, but, if this becomes a problem, I will no longer buy Bosch products. The previous machi...Read more
ne died at 2 years (see review) and this one, made in germany (which i think is overrated) should be lasting much longer. Admittedly its probably a door seal and not mechanical, but I would expect to have no problems whatsoever at this stage. If i have any complaint about this model, apart the current problem, is that it doesnt have a 'Spin only' cycle, which is handy sometimes. I will send an update when there is one.1 comment

Never again Bosch
Bought the first machine model WAS28461AU in 2015, less than 2 years it was making ridiculously loud noise. Bosch service was great, easy to get hold off and have serviceman on site within a few days. I was offered a replacement with WAS28460AU in Sep 2017.
Now June 2022 (less than 2 years still), the machine have started making loud noises again for a few weeks. Called service centre, great, have serviceman over within a few days.
During service, i was told that a used machine should not be expected to be as quiet as it is when its new esp...Read more
ecially when it's being used 5 times a week, said the brushes would have worn off a lot, in less than 2 years. Claimed that the noise is just due to normal wear and tear and there is nothing that could be done to it. Also told that we're probably overfilling it. It's a 8kg machine but it does not mean we can fill it to 8kg of dry weight, it should be 8kg of wet weight which equates to probably only 4kg of dry weight which is roughly equivalent to 5 towels only. So we bought what we thought was a big machine and told that we shouldn't fill it with much at all and not to expect it to be good as new after merely 2 years. Service was great, but it seems the machines are not holding up at all. This is definitely the last Bosch for us.1 comment

Great Machine!
We purchased this machine after having a Fisher & Paykel that only lasted us for 4 years.
Immediately, we have noticed a vast improvement from our old machine as to how well this washes clothes. We have 2 young boys who play outside and have constantly dirty clothes with grass stains, food spills etc. and this gets out EVERYTHING (with a bit of help from the Aldi stain spray too). Our main cycles are bed sheets, towels, clothing and also our dog's bedding. It's been great on everything.
The only downside is the length of the wash cycles (15min ...Read more

Never buy Bosch
Don’t like machine at all. Has shrunk so many of my expensive woollens. The wool cycle does not work at all. Stops with the woollens sopping wet and leaves them sitting in water. Would never buy Bosch ever again. My Bosch dryer also doesn’t work and not yet 2 years old. Never again. Not fit for purpose under Australian consumer law.

Good machine
After looking around for ages for a cheaper machine I decided to go for this unit. I have to say its faultless and quite surprising in its ease of operation and how quiet it runs. Its nice on my delicate clothes as well and my wife even likes using it! Thanks to the knowledgable sales people who pointed me in the right direction.
