Bought this at Harvey’s 3 years ago, was told it was top of the range so paid good money for it. It seemed to operate well until clothes started coming out smelly. Even in a well ventilated laundry with drawer left open and door rubber wiped dry each time, mound formed on the dispenser drawer and inner case. Lots of calls and inspections followed. Eventually these and the water shutoff valve were replaced as mould kept returning. 8 months later dispenser is emptying onto floor and mould has returned. Either a manufacturing fault or design defect and to date this has caused unending problems. I’m not alone with problems with Bosch washing machines which are giving the brand a bad reputation.

This machine was good until E23 came up on it. Thought I was buying a top brand washing machine with good after care customer service. Purchased 2/15 took out 4 year extended warranty. Machine came up with E23. Called Bosch told me to phone to customer care centre waited over a week for a service person to look at machine, it is now 10 days and haven't heard back. NO family washing machine for 3 weeks now. I will certainly reconsider other brands before I buy Bosch products again if this is what extended warranty service is like

Have a Bosch (home professional) its about 14 months old. Today (Saturday of course) the washer decided to display error 23 and emptied its contents of water all through the laundry and passage carpet (new house). Washing is stuck inside and despite following all the recommendations can't get the door to open - so washing needs to sit inside until at least Monday. Even though this is under warrantee I am not sure I could trust it again to wash when I'm not at home. After reading other reviews it seems I'm not the only one to experience this problem. Have spent all day trying to get the water out of our new carpet. Would like to get a more reliable washing machine

we have converted to liquid detergent thanks to the automatic dosing
The machine detects in auto mode the amount of laundry, the degree of soiling and the type of fabric and the program do all thinking
The display is large and easy to read. The operation is simple and intuitive, the machine is very quiet and very easy to use we stick to the same liquid detergent and fabric softener, because then you have to adjust the dispensed only once.
Highly recommend

We just brought the Bosch Home Professional WAY32840AU paid top $$$ thinking and was told thats its a 8Kg washing machine thats why we brought it and only to find out once we took it home and started using that it weighs the clothing for each cycle you choose and to my understanding the only 8kg cycle is the cotton one the rest varies for e.g if you choose the towels cycle it only goes up to 3.5Kg so that is approx 3 large towels in the drum, when you buy a 8 kg machine you are buying it for a reason to use the 8kg capacity true? is there any way for over riding this feature? and is there a way to add/use a stain remover powder to the cycle?
