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.

Unreliable washing machine
The washing machine stopped working even after less than a year of use. It was still under warranty but the service turn over time is very long. Trusted this brand as we were told that it is an award winning brand but it gives us nothing but frustrations and disappointments.

Wash great, pump filter design shocking
Washes quietly, does a good job. Make sure you get all your coins out or you will block your filter. The filter design is absolutely atrocious. If a coin or stray hair clip gets into it you can't open it and the entire bottom of the machine needs to be pulled a part. The filter is a barrel design and requires you to turn 360 degrees to get it out. If a redesign is not forth coming in the future. I would not purchase this machine again.

WAW28460AU was a good buy
My first front load machine as recommended by my beast friend, this was $1599 down to $959 with free shipping from David Jones in January. Very happy with the size, look and the delivery and installation. Quiet when in function, child lock is available and menu are pretty straight forward. Good reliable brand, will recommend.

A German made machine, and so quiet during the wash cycles that we regularly check that it is still running :-)
We purchased this machine from Harvey Norman, Joondalup, WA on 17th April 2022, and were offered free delivery and removal of the old machine for $949.00 (HN grudgingly price matched the David Jones sale price), so price wise we were already happy, but having had the machine now for over a month, and using it three times a week for everything from heavy hot cycles to cold wash and short cycles, we are very happy with this purchase.
I realise that we have not had the machine for several years yet, so we cannot talk about longevity of the machine...Read more

this is good
The 7kg front load washing machine from Bosch features a range of programs to suit every household. The automatic load sensor measures the precise amount of water for each load helping to reduce water and electricity costs. The VarioDrum is designed to provide a gentler wash, protecting delicates and fine textiles for added peace of mind. This washing machine boasts a 4 star water rating and 4 star energy rating making a more environmentally friendly household and reducing running costs.

Clothes Stink Clothes have shrunk Clothes are discoloured
The smell of burning plastic was pretty nasty for the first few weeks of washing. It's gone now but was unpleasant and concerning.
Almost every week since we've started using this machine I have clothes that have shrunk, stains that have set, discoloured clothing and loads that just stink (and need another 3 or more washes to rectify). I have resorted to hand washing many items for fear that the machine will destroy those too. I am having to separate many clothes to wash separately meaning that I'm pretty much washing all of the time... and oft...Read more

Love my Bosch
I had a LG front loader before the Bosch and was not impressed. Love the quick wash function and the fact that I can open the door if I have forgotten to put something in. This feature has not been available on any other of the front loaders I have owned.

Biggest waste of money
Brought my Bosh washing machine just under two years ago and it has just died before the warranty has run out, I payed extra to get an extended warranty, but it's been over a month that Ive had to hand was my clothes, and use friends machines, and I'm still waiting for it to be fixed, I think my warranty will run out before it gets fixed. I was never happy with the way it washed, it left grey stains on my clothes especially my whites which was very annoying, had to throw away a lot of clothes! And then one day my daughter walks past the laundry...Read more
and calls out to me "mum the laundry smells like burnt plastic and there's smoke!" lucky we were home and the house didn't burn down! Truely dissapointed as I was convinced to pay an extra $400 to get the Bosh because it was a "better" brand over the electrolux and truely regret it now.1 comment

No water supply hose in new WAW28460AU wash machine
I just bought a new WAW28460AU from David Jones. I checked everywhere in the box and machine, and can't find water supply hose. I contacted David Jones and Bosch, they said they have to take 2-3 business days to investigate this problem. I can't believe Bosch can make this mistake. And I have to wait for 2-3 weeks to delivery after they contact me if Bosch has this part.

Good for dark,light,woolen,cotton,sports clothes. Great capacity and quite. Alarm beeps once done. Functions display screen pretty much describes everything. I operate it twice a week and is working very good for me. Clothes are handled gently and color remain intact.

Perfect, but died young
I thought buying into a top tiered brand would last longer then 3 years. A terrific quality wash ever time. However, the function display screen is died Thursday, gone because an insect (cockroach) Qld, decided to play behind it. $500 to replace the part is crazy for a machine costing $970. I hate being pushed for extended warranty on every appliance I’ve brought now; but this has to be considered cost effective if manufacturers are using a lot more electronic components and not effectively sealing these essential fittings. Cockroaches can withstand nuclear disaster. My Bosch can’t survive a cockroach, it’s disappointing. I really loved this mashine but I’ll have to go back to top loader push button components.

It's bigger, quieter and only uses 57 litres of water per wash. Very happy.
This machine is amazingly water economical. Living in a drought area, we're only allowed 120L per person each day. The Bosch is so quiet I can't hear it running from upstairs. It weighs the washing and has heaps of cycles. Yesterday I loaded it up with sheets, towels, clothing etc on a mixed load after struggling with an old washer for months and sat down and watched the full cycle. It was better than TV and no ads. The 8K size means I can wash my bedspread at home and not have to go to the Laundromat. Wash day is no longer an ordeal.
