I liked this machine when it worked. The last few months its depositing greasy sludge on my clothes. After cleaning it myself, etc, its still happening. Just had one of their representatives out and he confirmed the seal was clean but said he did not know what the issue was and he agreed that the amount of sludge on my clothes did not collerate with the tiny bit of sludge he had to force of the seal. Its interesting that the technician questioned the use of fabric softener and temerature of water used. Although I do not use fabric softener...Read more

We went with Bosch due to their good reputation. But as mentioned before, the constant beeping is an absolutely ridiculous design feature - and I don't want to turn it down as I want to know when my washing is done, but I don't need it to beep at me constantly. I find most of the cycles don't leave the washing smelling particularly fresh or clean either. Also, our machine is only 3 years old - 2 people in our household so we only wash 2-3 loads per week on average - and the power unit and operating module are dead. So that's $700 to fix that.

Bought the BOSCH front loader washing machine a few years ago. WAE24462AU. I live in MZ so not sure if the company would pay attention but this washing machine is far too overpriced. I only bought it because of the brand name value but please don't buy the BOSCH washing machine. The rubber seal between the machine and the door keeps the water during the cycle and most of time, little garments like socks get stuck. To make it worst, it started to get rusty and I don't feel that it washes the clothes properly. Smells really bad too. Called the cu...Read more

I bought my Bosch washing machine. Nice and New from Harvey Norman. I'm a single guy, living on my own. After ten times use, the cascade boot (connecting the door to the machine) cracked and the machine starting leaking water. So I called Bosch customer service and they arranged for a third party to come and fix my machine. They did fix it, but gave me a 220$ bill claiming this is not covered under warranty. I have called customer service several times, but they have been extremely rude, and basically have told me it was my fault to my the mach...Read more

We are using this machine in a furnished rental while we renovate.

It has lots wash functions and does an acceptable job washing. Lots of length of time cycles and the buttons and programs are easy to use and intuitvie.

The time delay function is the best i've seen as it asks how far away until finished not you working out by adding the wash time.

The spin cycle is only 1100 rpm and is too slow -leaving clothes not wet but no where as well spun as an Asko machine we have that is 1600 rpm. I less powerful motor v the Asko is telling as it seems to struggle relatively - but does not sound like it is going to break.

BUT - the biggest issue is the $#%^%#&^! alarm when it finishes.

This is the worse washing machine I ever had the unfortune to purchase. If there is a zero start option, I will select it. After only 7 months, the machine stopped working due a little of piece of plastic smaller than the size of a grain stuck in the pump . I have used two washing machines before, all Korean or Japanese brands, but never have any problem with removing items stuck into the pump even if sometime paper or toy got thrown into washing machine by mistake. When items were stuck in these washing, it was extremely easy to clear these...Read more

I bought this front loader washing machine just over 2 1/2 years ago and it has failed. No electronics at all, dead as a door knob. Now out of warranty and Bosch service centre has out of date listed service agents. Today they gave me Caterquip Proserpine as a service agent. Just phoned them to find out they have not provided this service well over 2 years. The other agent Dial a Leckie will not do house calls to Midge Point, I have to take the machine to them! How I ask a 70kg plus machine. I believe if you live in regional areas check on r...Read more

I bought two front loader Bosh washing machines (maxx classics) about 3 years ago. One for work that gets used once a week ( for the hand towels) the other at home. The work one drum seized about a year ago. Tried to get warranty but they just fobbed us off said it must be us. Being on a commercial premises consumer guarantee act doesn't apply.

One at home went OK apart from a broken door but they fixed that after some pointed comments that we must have abused it ( we didn't). Now it stopped spinning or agitating. I had a quick look at it i...Read more

I imagine you have some smart people working for Bosch, I mean you make good stuff but somewhere along the product line you went wrong. Are there maybe some eggheads sitting around in a board shooting off some ideas.
"We've made this great little washing machine, what could we do to let the consumer know that the wash is finished?"
"How about we put an annoying beep at the end?"
"hmm, do you think a minute would suffice?"
"No better make it an hour of constant beeping to make sure the average consumer doesn't miss it"
"that may annoy the average consumer."
"of-course not!"

I don't know how much that person is paid ( the man the came up with the beep idea) but I can tell you right now he is overpaid and should let him.

It is extremely noisy on spin and takes an age to complete a wash. The door to drum rubber seal fills up with gunk and doesn't drain adequately so there is a build up which is hard to clean out. If it is not kept clean the gunk deposits itself on your just-washed clothes. It has been reliable - until now. After 5 years of barely acceptable service the 'spider' which supports the inner drum on the 'axle' has broken and the drum flops around. Cactus. Dead. Our repair man (authorised Bosch repairs) tells us it will cost $500-700 to fix plus anothe...Read more

This machine was a replacement for a brand newSamsung WF1752WPW 7.5kg Front Load Washer that was faulty. The Good Guys, Lutwyche were very helpful and replaced the Samsung for this Bosch with no hassles, which considering it was only $89 more expensive, is an infinitely better machine. The wash is excellent and the express wash feature is great. I really like the fact that on some of the programmes you can alter the temperature and spin speed to your choice. The 1200rpm spin is rather noisy and when the machine has finished the beeper tha...Read more
