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.

E23 code water on base plate. Told to wait 14 days for technician. Machine only 6 weeks old. Not good enough . Customer support said it was the best they could do.im not lugging laundry to relatives for this long. Very unhappy I Want a refund

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.

Model: WAS24460AU . Sadly dead after 8 yrs, Motherboard is gone. I could not turn on the machine, no power, no display, nothing. Power sockets are working fine. The repair guy came inspected and found that the motherboard is faulty and would cost approximately $600 plus another call out fee and labour cost it would be better off getting new machine altogether. Such a waste that the board cost so much and a whole machine going to the landfill after less than 10 yrs. No more Bosch, this model is probably a lemon.

We liked this washer WAS24460AU but now it's lost all power. Reading these reviews it says it will either be a $200 board part or a $600 board part. Really? How can a control part cost so much? That's nearly 2/3 the price I paid for the washer.

I purchased a Bosch front load washing October last year. January 13, the machine malfunctioned spewing water and suds into the adjacent room. Because the carpet now has mould, and spores flying around, that room door must be kept closed. Bosch sent out a technician to review situation, he said Bosch would replace machine and take responsibility for carpet damage.
Feb 4, Bosch has still failed to replace faulty machine. Carpet damage is a separate issue, requiring me to furnish quotes from two carpet manufacturers. But almost three weeks without a washing machine?? Bosch? Never again. Mary

Very, very disappointed with this Bosch model. Bought it in 2012 at considerable cost, expecting it to be a lifetime investment, however within that time it's needed 2 door replacements and right on 6 years, the control board blew mid wash. Reading through the reviews on this site, this appears to be a known fault with this model, where the power board blows on cue. This fault has not been addressed by Bosch. Besides being a potential fire hazard, Bosch has not put out a recall on this model, thereby leaving the consumer at risk. Incredibly negligent. My new washer will not be a Bosch.

Bosh is such mint product. Only last 6 years despite looking after washing machine so well. This machine didn't turned on one morning. Technician advised need board replacement will cost more than $600 + labour cost. My 13 YEARS LG still going. Expensive product but didn't delivered as expected. #

After six years of gentle, well looked after use this washing machine lost all power mid wash. After reading lots of others reviews I have realised this is a quite common fault with the power board used with this machine. The high cost to replace the power board doesn't make it worthwhile fixing.
I expected to get a lot more than six years from this machine when I decided to spend more money on a Bosch. I thought it was meant to be a quality brand that would last the distance. My old (10+ years) Simpson top loader was still going strong when we made the switch to a front loader for the new house.
I was happy with the way the clothes were washed. But I don't think I'll recommend a Bosch due to the short lifespan and high cost.

This has been a good washing machine until last week. I've organised to have a bosch technician to come out next week, however based on reviews here it appears to be the same problem others have had with it simply not switching on anymore. I've been advised by Bosch there are two control modules with one costing $215 and the other $590 plus call out and the time to identify the issue. I'm really thinking its not worth the time or cost and i'm better off buying a new (non-bosch) washing machine when i'm having to potentially fork out that much to repair it. Although its currently 6 years old, it is disappointing that a control module can cost that much... I guess Bosch never again!!!!

Love this machine, it’s so simple to use. Bought it because you can open the door during the wash program (with low water level). Fantastic range of programs for natural and synthetic fibres, is really quiet, gentle on clothes and it has never failed me. Perhaps I handle it more gently than others!

Had for over 5 years. The unit has been absolutely faultless until the door got stuck and obviously the door release part has broken. Will get a replacement part for this but otherwise very pleased with this unit as it cleans clothes very well and doesn't seem to mind being on rainwater entirely.

This washing machine is terrible - doesn't clean your clothes properly, wash time is never accurate always takes longer, door handle breaks off, and finally the power board failure - hopeless. Bosch can come out next week to look at it but am told its a costly repair if its not a fault with the machine. Judging by reviews I have read it is a known failure and should have been actively managed rather than waiting for complaints. I have found all my Bosch appliances have not gone the distance and am disappointed that it was once a reliable trustworthy brand. After 6 years of frustration am off to buy a new machine and it won't be a Bosch.

This Bosch washing machine is a piece of junk. Not once but twice the flimsy plastic door handle has broken, resulting in a locked door. Handle itself if $105 and labour is $165
I've decided to can this piece of junk and buy a new appliance. Guess what brand ???? NOT BOSCH!
it's unacceptable that a reputable German manufacturer with a long history of quality would
Release a poor quality appliance with blaringingly obvious design faults to the market. The door handle is cheap plastic,flimsy and will break with an impatient force acted on it

Like many others here, I bought a Bosch (WAS24460AU) on reputation, and have paid for it.
I would have expected a longer life, hey its Bosch, but alas 4-5 years old seems to be its use by date from reading other reviews. (That's what you would expect from a cheap Chinese brand.)
To be fair it was good at washing the clothes, but a poorly designed door handle, which breaks, and cannot open, lock issues, then the repair cost decisions have to be made.
So, I decided to buy a new machine, and it won't be a Bosch.
2 1/2 stars

I purchased a Bosch five years ago assured by the salesman at our local retailer that it was in fact as god as if not better than my preferred brand. Five years later $615 plus labour to replace the board. Rang Bosch, loud music on hold followed by a Customer Service officer who didn't care. Its a joke right?

After 5 short years my front loader has died $1400 machine Power Control panel died $500 plus GST For part $150 to install really?!!! Oh No what a nightmare! Bosch after sales service has been exceptional though! Waiting to see result. Come on Bosch Please help Great product needs great after sales guarantee Robert Bosch's promise must account for it

Machine does a good job but I wish they had designed the handle better or at least came up with a better designed spare part. The handle is made of a type of plastic with a tab that activates the Metal/Cast alloy latch mechanism. Plastic against metal is poor design as the plastic tab eventually breaks away and you cannot open the door except with a crow bar. The OEM part is approx 100 AUD plus postage. I have replaced one and now have to order a second within 6-8 months. Unless they change the design (Metal on Metal) then i will need to buy these stupid handles in bulk. :-(
