Love machine.
I wash nearly everything on 45min wash. Some wash cycles go on forever!
Warning – if you decide to purchase the Bosch extended warranty, you Only have 30days from purchase to do this!
Brilliant machine washes well and very quite even during spinning cycles.
It’s a great machine. Very quiet and douse what it says on the tin. Our last machine was also a Bosch and lasted 19 years. To be fair the old machine was still going but the noise it was making indicated its demise was imminent. Only had it a few weeks but very pleased with it.
This only has one short wash a mixed wash and the start touch pad some times doesn’t work just beeps and beeps. A lot to get use to but it looks nice and stylish.
The product is very good but the courier is no experience to install the machine even I have paid the installation fee 🙁
I’ve only just received this product and used it a few times but even on the quick wash the stains are removed, the clothes smell fresh and clean and it’s very easy to use. And it is sooooo quiet!! I had a Hotpoint previously which was very noisy in comparison.
Also the duo who delivered and installed it were fabulous! They went above and beyond and were very kind and helpful!
I ordered this machine as a replacement for an older Bosch which was beyond repair.
The controls are clear and easy to use. There is an option to add an extra rinse into the sequence which saves adding it later. Some programmes can have the temperature changed. The machine is quiet during wash and spin .
Delivery was fast and very helpful , went above and beyond . Excellent value for money .
Very good machine and a quality build.Quiet in operation even on max spin speed.
Amazon offered the chance best price and good installation team.
I would use Amazon again for future white goods.
Plumb it in read instructions after a week throw the instructions away no need to look at them ever again. Enough said
It had been perfectly reliable up to that point so I stuck with Bosch for its replacement.
On arrival it was noticable how much lighter it was compared to the old one.
Plumbing it in was simple as it had the same connections.
After half a dozen or so loads I can say that it’s much quieter than my old machine.
The programmes take much longer like for like though. I presume it’s for eco reasons but its the reason I’ve taken a star off.
I often have to shut the door a couple of times and press it in further until it will lock.
Clothes have been coming out nicely cleaned but no drier than with my old machine even though the spin speed is now faster.
Judging by my smart meter, energy consumption has dropped by quite a bit. Very handy in current times with such high energy bills.
It sounds like I’m not too happy with this but its just that my old machine was so good, hence I stuck with Bosch.
Hopefully it last as long!
I hope you find my review helpful.

We are vey pleased with this machine that works notedly more quietly and runs more energy efficiently than the machine on which we until very recently relied. Significantly the machine enables us, through a nuanced means of programming, to take a fuller view of the environmental issues than before. It makes laundry more convenient, less costly and more environmentally friendly. It represent a desirable combination of technological advance and environmental consideration.
Good product, very quiet,the washing cycles are too long.The clothes need to be re-spun after the washing cycle has finished.
Relatively easy to use but we have to keep checking the manual and search through the programs for the best Cycle, you have to press the temperature and spin buttons to check that it is correct for the clothes in the drum, we wish that these indications were automatically displayed when the program is selected without having to check them individually. Some programs only spin up to 800 and heat up to 30*. we tend to use the 1400 @ 40* most of the time due to workwear. We’ll get used to it eventually.
Quiet when in operation.
Wash quality no better or worse than previous machine, regardless of literature on the subject.
Easy to use and program.
Articles not as dry as hoped after spin program.
I don’t really know how easy it was to install as I paid for installation by the delivery crew. There’s a hell of a lot of washing programs and parameters but I tend to just use the cotton one and switch between 40 degree or 60 degree washes. The wash is very good. The machine is very quiet in operation – both wash and spin cycles. There is virtually no vibration.
Absolutely love this beauty. Perhaps this is because our old machine had started making loud noises and appeared to fall below our expectations. With this beauty, I feel tempted to use it again and again. It is unbelievable to see that a washing machine be that “quiet” and still performs exceptionally well. Needless to say that I am super impressed with Amazon when they delivered the new, installed it, and also recycled the old one at the lowest possible cost. Thank you so much, guys.
Was a bit overwhelmed at first as it seemed very complicated. The manual isn’t very good as it is not laid out in a logical way. For example, the manual says you have run the machine empty before using but it doesn’t take you through the process so I just ran a short cycle. Only later did I come across that it was supposed to be the drum cleaning cycle.
I ended up watching a few YouTube videos to get the information I needed.
I like the iDos system although it is using a lot of laundry liquid. I’ve reduced the dosage but still using more than I usually would.
The machine is so quiet, you don’t notice it’s on.
Easy to use, extremely quiet during cycle, good looking , the best washing machine I ever had!
This Bosch is the third one we’ve had, whilst the programmes are all very good, the robustness of the build is not as good as the older model we’d had for quite a number of years.
The team rang just before they arrived nice and early so I haven’t had to wait all day, they were very friendly and polite and nothing was too much trouble our washing machine fitting is not the easiest. However they got on with it with no issues and checked everything was working before they left. A dream.
Thank you so much and such an easy process.
I’ve had lots of washers in my time but this is amazing.the best I’ve ever brought it’s so quiet,would recommend this to anyone
Like this!
Lots of programmes although some take over 3 hours which I doubt I’ll use often. A good drum size which is important for a family. Spins clothes well. Quiet doesn’t make too much noise at all and has a countdown timer so you know when it’ll be finished
Excellent delivery with text updates – highly recommend those guys
Quiet and as described very good machine wife very happy with it, and that’s what matters
Was presently surprised at how nice this washing machine looks and performs. Very quiet even during spin cycle.
When we first got the machine, my wife was quite disappointed because all the programs she looked at were quite long ones, but after a bit of fiddling and practice she now has found quick wash program for about a hour, she is now very happy and the machine is performing very well to expectations.
The most impressive part of this is that you can cut down the wash time by half with the Speed Perfect button and that it’s very serious when it comes to spinning. The clothes come out really quite dry before you hang them to dry.. so that’s a good start to completing the task! I kind of wish I’d bought the 8kg but the 7kg should be enough to cope with just the two of us.
We had a 8kg drum similar Bosch machine which packed up after about 10 years use which for a large household and daily use was quiet good. So went for Bosch again to a slightly bigger drum. In retrospect might have gone for a even bigger drum but I think this it is a hard one to decide and perfectly happy witht he 9kg size. It has delivered to my expectation as most Bosch products do. It is a bit more quieter. I have made sure it is levelled correctly which I am sure help the component last longer. Have also have a sound absorbing matt underneath. Great product at a competitive price poi
Great value for money as Bosch always seems to be!
It’s so silent.it looks like it’s not raining.Easy to use.Thanks
Fantastic washing machine, very quiet and lots of different cycles. Good size. Very impressed as a good price for a Bosch too. Would recommend
its working perfectly well as far as I see i
Easy to use, easy to install, larger drum means less washes
very impressive , vey less sound , its in one of our WC near to my bedroom , no sound no nose to bedroom . I love this.
Replacing our old Bosch washing machine with this one. Does a good job and much quieter than the old one. Plenty of great features.
I cleaned the filter. I cleaned it again. And again. Because my machine said it’s E-36.
Today I had unplugged the drainage pipe construction, and here is what it looks like (see the pictures)
Obviously, I got to learn the science of properly installing these machines by myself. I am a good school and college teacher, I enjoy gardening, I can do so many things with my hands. I really expected those Bosch guys being able to do their job so, that I shouldn’t be needed to do it all over again after them.
All and all I do recommend the machine itself, but don’t trust the installation.
It was easy to install and very good value for money.
Excellent product, so many features and so easy to use.
very satisfied with my washing machine, superb selection of washing programs , great looking, very easy to use.
The previous Bosch Machine worked perfectly for over a number of years !
Great machine loads of programs for all different cycles, only problem we had was removing the packaging bolts.
Positive features:
LOTS of useful and customisable washing programs
Washes extremely well – even using PODS, you get a proper wash with lots of foaming. Gives you the confidence that your clothes are getting clean
Good size drum and takes a big weighted load
Good spin speed – clothes don’t come out wringing wet
Instant open after wash end – no delay before the lock is released
Easy to use
Negatives:
Easy to accidentally brush against the control panel which is very sensitive so you can find yourself pausing the wash etc.
The door doesn’t have a “clip” type opener – i.e. pull that to open the clasp. Instead you just have to pull on the door. It required a bit more force than I initially thought (on my machine) so I was a bit nervous that I might break it. It’s been fine though (so far)
The door trim has a plastic finish and isn’t stainless steel. Not a biggy but a shame because it would have looked to be the quality that it is if it had.
The door itself isn’t glass but a plastic. Unfortunately, my dogs claws scratched the front in the first week!
In summary, I don’t think you can beat the washing and features of this machine for the price but if you’re able, take a look at a more expensive model for a better door.
Have been really impressed with how well it washes. Seems quite eco friendly with energy it is on about 12 times at least a week.
To say I’m impressed is a short call.
At first I panicked with how technical it is but it’s quite easy to figure out.
Good bits:
Looks nice and very quiet spin.
Clothes smell cleaner than with my old beko.
Not so good bits:
The spin cycle, even on the highest spin, I’m finding I’m having to do an extra spin as the clothes are still quite wet.
The washer beeps quite loudly once it’s finished a cycle 3 loud beeps, then another 3 loud beeps, then another 3 loud beeps. I thought this would annoy me too much but I’m used to it now so it’s fine.
If you stand too close to the electric panel, it pauses the cycle but again that’s more annoying than bad.
I haven’t tried all the different cycles yet as most of them are quite long but overall I’m happy with it so far.
Love Bosch always had one. This is quiet and the drum is big 9kg. Allows you to change run times. Perfec
This is maybe not the most sleek looking washing machine but it does deliver performance exactly as described. It is very quiet and cleans clothes. Can’t ask any more in my eyes. I would highly recommend.

Does the job as you would expect, great results, lots of program options but straightforward to use.
Great machine . Easy to use. Fits in loads of washing as it’s a bigger drum than my last machine. Quiet . Love the drum clean function as I’m a hygiene freak!
The thing that lets the machine down is that the instruction book is far to complicated to follow needs simplifying for ease of use.
Had a really good look around because it seems we’re spoilt for choice now?
I found this on Amazon, and looked at all the reviews. I was hooked and had to have it.
Took less than a week to arrive, plumbed it in myself which was really easy.
Love all the programmes and settings, super quiet. My sister and brother in
looked at it, they had bought a new machine last year and it’s done nothing but broke down
it’s a very Hot Point with them at the moment (wink wink nod nod)
They wanted one and commented how whisper quiet it is!
Had it going over the weekend and it’s just performed brilliantly.
If you want an excellent make and washing machine buy Bosch!
Love my new washing machine, it’s easy to use too
I chose this machine as it is a Which recommended buy and it hasn’t disappointed. Great machine. I would strongly recommend
I am astounded at how quiet the machine is and delighted with how well it actually washes all my whites are now white.
Very easy to use , and it’s the quietest washing machine I’ve ever owned
Easy to use and does it’s job. Love the drum clean option particularly after my children did some tiedye shirts.
I am a bloke but have taken over the domestic chores.I can’t believe I am reviewing a washing machine but it is bloody excellent!I would sound like a TV ad if I could explain why but it really is just very good.The controls are clear and after 10minutes of reading the instructions I was able to master them and take control of my washing. I use a lot less washing liquid and the results are better than my previous 3 yr old Bosch.
This Bosch washing is so quite I need to check its still working during the wash, Its a solidly built unit that does not go walking.
This is the best washing machine I have had so far and the 9kg drum means I can even wash my large duvets.
Great machine.
Love the machine.
I got with it the installation and removal and found the whole thing worth the money.
A VERY sensitive control panel – if you lean on it/knock it/ child touches it then the cleaning starts all over again!
Not sure why they ask us to rate flavour but washing machine is silent, reliable and so much better than any of the cheaper models we have had before.
Excellent on all accounts and good value for money given the price range for other similar models.
Great price great delivery great washing machine, very very happy.
Easy to use, seems like a good machine. Does the job much better than the old thing i had anyway..
Upgraded from my 5 year old Bosch and glad I did. Awesome washing machine, I do find the eco mode is long but it’s super economical and the clothes come out amazingly clean.
Definitely recommend.
It is quit and bigger than my last machine and love the product.
It’s reasonably quite, washes and spins clothes well and looks as good as any other ‘white washing machine’.
The option to be able to pause the wash to put any missed items in is very good.
The normal cycles can be pretty long (2.5 – 3hours!) but there is a ‘Quick’ option which can reduce this dramatically (40-45 minutes for some programmes) – although it supposedly uses more energy (not sure how a 45minute program uses more than a 3hour…).
Well recommended.

Was a bit put off by reviews saying it had long complicated cycles, but have found it very straight forward to use and it washes very nicely. You can shorten most cycles using ‘speed perfect’- and in the quick wash this reduces it from 30 to 15 mins (but this does then require a spin which adds another 13 mins) and this reduces the size of the load to 2kgs- but perfect for a quick turn around for a few items. A mixed load cycle completed in 59mins, compared to the 3+hours for some other cycles. The only issue I have had so far is when putting a Childs coat in a quick wash followed by a spin- it couldn’t balance the weight so didn’t spin properly- but I threw in a few clean towels to balance it and it worked fine! A great machine, and happy customer.
Love it. Arrived in great shape. The best part was the service of taking my old machine from first floor and carrying the new machine to first floor. All went smoothly

Not an easy item to return due to bulk and weight but very disappointed that the top was dented and scratched to the extent that the metal was exposed. Hope it doesn’t rust as a result. The top had been covered in cardboard but something very heavy and sharp must have been dropped on it. Not discovered until the delivery men had left and we removed the carboard packaging on the top of the machine. Suggest polystyrene (eco variety) instead of cardboard for future reference. Considering the long wait for its delivery, the damage is very disappointing

The most noticeable thing is how quiet this Bosch washing machine is. Personally, the noise coming from a washing machine doesn’t bother me at all, but for some I know this is an issue and I’ve never owned a quieter machine than this one. Whatever the spin speed, it doesn’t seem to get noticeably louder or violently shake as some washing machines are prone to do. There are not as many different pre-programmed washing cycles as you get with some other washing machines and some of them can take three hours to complete. You can choose shorter ones for small loads and there is a ‘Speed Perfect’ option to reduce the washing cycle duration. I’m not really ever in a hurry for my washing to be done very quickly, and given that the washing machine has good energy efficiency ratings waiting for the cycle to be finished isn’t the worst thing in the world. I’m sure that the increased length of cycle is deliberate to improve the overall efficiency.
The two things that really matter to me with washing machines are how well they clean the clothes (without damaging anything) and how long they last without becoming prone to needing to be repaired or replaced. I’m very happy with how this Bosch washing machine washes clothes and bed linen but can’t really comment on its longevity after only having it for a few weeks. I shall update this review if it breaks prematurely, but as it stands I am very happy with this washing machine and would recommend it.
