Only had washer a week and used twice. Washes well and produces good results on the clothes. First front loader after 30 years of top loaders and am quite happy with the results. A little disappointed to see a 'made in China" sticker on the back but isn't everything these days. Only time will tell how long it lasts
Washes well, Plenty of program choices. Easy to use
Little bit noisy. Nothing so far

I purchased the machine in August 2012. Loved it, It worked perfectly for exactly 12 months 2 days. One would expect a washing machine of this price point would last longer than that, before be expected to pay for a technician to attend. Well I have purchased a replacement which is NOT a BOSCH. Never again. My previous LG lasted many many years and I expect my replacement proves just as reliable
Usability and cleanliness of clothes
Only last 12 months - not what you we expect from BOSCH

I have just purchased a new machine. I have one question. The washing detergent has three symbols 1,
11 and what looks like a fan. Which one is for the detergent and which one is for the fabric soft.....
I would appreciate some feedback on this as I don't want to damage the machine in any way.
Loving it

The machine is ok - did what it said on the box. However within a year the bearings died making the washing machine as noisy as a lawn mower! Dealing with Bosch to get this fixed is enough to make me regret buying this machine. In fact the possibility of dealing with Bosch ever again is enough to convince me to never, ever, buy another Bosch product.
After a lot of frustration thank goodness that Winning Appliances replaced the washer with another brand - goodbye Bosch, good riddance!
When works, does what you expect from a washing machine.
Machine died within a year, Bosch service is horrible.

This machine has been fantastic so far. It is quiet and offers many options in terms of cycles. One of the best things is that you can open the door after it has started when you find that sock that you left out! It has done a very good job of getting things clean.
You can open the door after it has started, does a good job.
The Eco ratings are based on the Eco cycle, which takes 3-4 hours!

Bosch seems to think that it is okay for customers to wait 4 weeks for a minor part (the door handle) needed to fix our machine. The washer door suddenly wouldn't open (the machine is under warranty). Bosch was waiting for delivery of the part, but has done absolutely nothing to speed up the process. They wouldn't air freight it in...and after the normal shipment did arrive it has taken two weeks to get through their warehouse processes. We hope it will be fixed next week. I will never every buy another Bosch product, and hope this review saves other readers from making the same mistake.
Washing choices good
Dreadful Service, and can't turn off the buzzer

I was so happy with my machine for 2 months. Then all of a sudden it didn't work. I am still waiting 1 month after it broke down to have my machine fixed. Bosch have been very unhelpful and just keep telling me the part will be available next week. That was 4 weeks ago and it's still not available. I think they should have replaced the machine if they couldn't supply the part to fix it in a reasonable time (my definition of reasonable would be 1 week). Disgusting service for a top brand product only 2 months old. If it was still working I would say it was a great washing machine.
Washes well, easy to use.
Bosch Warranty Service

Bought this one from Appliances Online - and it's been a dream to use - quiet operation although it does beep quite a few times when the load is done, but our laundry is outside the house so it's not an issue for us.
Great spin cycle and clothes don't take as long to dry.
I'd really recommend this machine.
Energy and water efficient - wide range of cycle options inc. 15 min express wash
