Bought on Which recommendation. First impressions are quiet!
Normal wash programmes from 45 minutes to 3hrs!!!! (cant say we’ll ever use that one, well apart from just now as recommended first wash.)
369 delivered in 2 days, slotted in nicely and now my first impression is its quiet.
Which said it washed well so we bought it.
It has a brushless motor which means none to wear, ( mind the last ones lasted 10 years).
2 year guarantee, parts and labour incl. extend for 99 for further 3 years.
Hopefully last 16 years like the last John Lewis badged Bosch machine.
4 stars as no history yet.
Installation excelle
Just got the machine – its a bosch so I think it will be alright – just wanted to say the installation by the two men was quick, efficent and a pleasant experience. They took the old machine away, tidyed up and left. Thank you
… when my faithful old Bosch gave up the ghost – just after I’d bought a new fridge freezer (also Bosch). Not the Bosch’s fault, a supposed engineer replaced the door seal which resulted in a flooded kitchen.
So we decided to replace rather than repair – it runs quietly and economically, very pleased.
Good machine. Lacks mid length wash cycles
I struggle to select a programme suitable for some of my needs with this machine. It’s great for long, economical cycles, great for very short wash cycles, great for specific cycles like wool or lingerie, but when you’ve got a mixed load of synthetics, eg school clothes, the available mixed programme is only 59 mins long and not long enough to get a large load clean.
It’s a very quiet machine however.
3 of the cycles: cottons, colours and eco are exceptionally long, well over 3 hours, eg the colours cycle is 4:24, eco is 3:35 & cottons is 3:28 – which is far too long. I find the long cycles really wear out all but the toughest clothes.
Few features but outstanding results
If your first priority is outstanding cleaning results and you don’t need a machine which has dozens of pointless programs, or the ability to be able to add an odd sock during a wash cycle rather than simply waiting for the next wash, or to be able to communicate with it remotely using the internet, then you’ll be really happy with this machine. The cleaning results are truly amazing!
A couple of annoying things…
Two issues with this.
1. You cannot preset a spin/rinse once the wash is finished. Once it has run the wash cycle you have to manually switch it to the spin/rinse mode and set it off again.
2. The beeping. Once it’s finished a cycle it seems to beep on for ages, not two-three times but six-eight. Ok we get it. And no way to modify this other than switching it off.
It’s a washing machine and it works and it does what it is supposed to do, but there is a lot of competition. I had a Samsung for 10 years prior and these small things are just annoying enough to make me regret changing brands.
Brillia
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.
Quie
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 .
A quiet and efficient washing machine
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.

Eco friendly and economical.
I had my last bosch 17 years and wouldn’t have anything else.
Which program?
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.
The small print!
Unfortunately the removal of the old, and the install of the new did not happen. The words for doing the same should not have been attached to the offer. Amazon agreed to pay my fees for doing the same, but I am still waiting. The machine is ok for two people and does the job, well which did the recommending
One of the best Washing machines seen so fa
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.
Love my new washe
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.
Good value washing machine
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.
Good machine
I chose Amazon rather than Curry’s for my new washing machine because my old one had broken down and Amazon could deliver much quicker than Curry’s. They delivered on bank holiday Monday immediately after new year and the guy’s were very helpful even though I was the final delivery of the day after being on the road all day. The machine is great, easy to install it’s fast and runs very quietly. Love it.

The Delivery team were amazing! I can’t thank them enough.
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.
The machine is excellent , sadly the service is poor .
The carrier’s badly soiled a brand new carpet both out of the lift , and into the hallway , before my wife stopped them .
Absolutely disgraceful , and no apology for what is now a huge cleanup job .
Astounding this is carried out in today’s demanding marketplace , by a carrier who clearly didn’t give a toss .
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.
So quie
Best washing machine I’ve had in years, I love that it indicates the wash weight. Great anti bacterial wash, bedding and towels.
Great value for money
Old machine taken away
No hassle
If I have to buy again will still buy this one
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.

Might go for a bigger drum
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 piece of ki
Excellent product, so many features and so easy to use.
IT LOOKS GREAT BUT NO INSTALLATION PROVIDED
It seems to be as advertised, but what was very disappointing is that there was no installation included, and no option available neighter to pay for it. So I had to call a plumber a pay other money on top of 350 so this washing machine costed me over 400.
The item is new , but cannot tell if is working well. I wilk have to wait for the plumber to install it. They should add an optional installation to make life easier to single women like me.
The programmes are a puzzle as you can’t seem to change the temperature or duration. One for example says 40 to 60 degrees so which is it? We tend to use 1 hour at 40 a lot, changes to 46 mins when you press “speed perfect” if it’s not full. Washing comes out clean, almost dry. Best feature is the quiet motor, you can hardly hear it working!
Good Value Washing Machine
Great machine – fairly quiet compared to our last machine.
Easy to understand programmes – I personally only use one or two so this machine fits the bill. Has a useful 15 or 30 minute quick wash and you can adjust things like spin speed, temperature etc. For each programme.
All in all, I am pleased with my purchase up to now and if it lasts as long as my previous machine (11 years) I shall be very happy.

Bisch Basch Bosch
Have been using this for over a month now and it is an excellent washing machine with lots of useful features. Very quiet when washing or on spin cycle. Built to usual Bosch standards and washing results are brilliant. Would thoroughly recommend.
All round good washing machine
pleased from the start. love that you can stop it and open to add a forgotten item. the tub is larger than our older model, making it easier for bedding. a good range of dial options for different clothes, as well as the option to change the temperature setting. I do feel the economy is not always practical as it suspends the washing; alright if not in a hurry. as it stands, i am happy with the item, even though it does not have half load.
New washing machine
Turned up on time /day stated old machine taken away along with the packaging from the new one . Up and running within the hour great machine good price can’t fault it but time will tell
Getting right size ring spanner if doing your self
Delivered on time guys unpack for me took rubbish away had to get right size 13mm socket spanner very tight but easy to install after that wife still waiting use it .
Quiet and efficie
Does the job as you would expect, great results, lots of program options but straightforward to use.
Always buy bosch
My last Bosch machine is still going after 16 years. Good make, this has more options and faster wash times. Even on 30 degree 30 minute wash my clothes are clean and not as tangled and the old one. Very pleased with it.
works very well
This is a solidly made machine, very quiet,and does not wander around during the spin cycle. Not a 10 year guarantee, but 2years, but you can purchase extensions to it. Happy so far.
Very easy to install. Takes a larger load than my old machine so once I worked out the programmes it’s been a dream to use
Brilliant machine
This is the best machine I have ever had, it’s quiet and washed so well. The timer function is so handy.
what a great washing machine
ever had a bosch washer before but read lots of reviews from different websites. have to admit im loving it. its so quiet and does a real good job with my clothes its pleasure to do the washing now
the delivery men were so polite and unwrapped for me and took all the rubbish away asked if i was ok getting it fixed in place. they were a credit to amazo
Love this! Did some research into quiet appliances. This IS! I can hardly hear it at times. When spinning, it’s quieter than my dishwasher. The control panel is a bit too touch sensitive if you lean on it, or brush past it with clothes that make contact, but other than that I’m impressed. At first glance, when selecting some wash programs they appear excessively long, but if you select Speed Perfect function, then most of them halve in time. The 30 C quick wash is quick at 30 minutes and covers most day to day washing.
So, so quie
I had to look to make sure the washing machine was working as it was so quiet. The clothes are perfectly washed and in a reasonable lenth of time. I would like to add the delivery persons did an excelent job, as I requested placed in the room I wanted having taken away the packaging. Most polite and efficient.

Easy when you know how!
As someone who doesn’t like spending long reading instructions I was initially alarmed how long some of the washes were until I understood the option of speed perfect and am now happy there’s a quicker option on these washes!
Like the open door facility mid cycle too.

Very pleased purchased to replace old machine the delivery guys really good plumbing in new one and taking away old one so easy thanks.
Quiet & effective but some lengthy cycles
This is a very quiet machine in operation. It has quite a wide range of cycles but it is advisable to study the program parameters if you like to adjust things for yourself, because options are not as wide as you might think from the advertisements. This model has the higher spin speed of 1400 rpm BUT this is only available in certain programs, as are the temperature variations & the maximum loads. Yes, this can prevent unintended results but it obviates personal needs & preferences. Some cycles seem ridiculously long for their purpose: the standard cottons program taking 3 hours. The manual does NOT give program times or even ranges, which is a rather a sly move on the part of Bosch. One rather irritating, if minor, point is the inability of the window seal to drain completely, leaving about a tablespoon of water sitting in the bottom. Bosch warn users to dry this &, for long life of the seal, that will be essential.
Forced to buy a new one after a power cut blew ours up!
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.EDIT 1 YEAR LATER:Still a fantastic machine but please read the load weight maximums for each setting.Occasional poor wash caused by overloading the machine for a particular setting.Most embarrassed to have this pointed out by my “told you so” wife!
Seems a good washer.
Delivered quickly, nice helpful Man who installed the washer for us and took away all the packaging and the old machine. Left me all the info on how to use the machine, although at 72 I did find the instuctions a bit hard to take in as there was a lot of pages to read. Washer looks nice and has a lot of useful settings
Efficient and quie
Had Bosch for many years and every new model improves on the last.
This model is great, being very quiet and efficient. Easy to use dial for programme selection.
Fast reliable service- very quiet machine
Wouldn’t normally think of Amazon for a washing machine but quickly delivered and fitted and old one taken away for recycling. Competitive prices and reliable professional service. The Bosh machine is effective and yes is very quiet compared to other washing machines. 5 stars fully recommend
Brilliant & value for money
Very happy with this washing machine so quiet compare to my last one, digital display is easy to read and also the she is easy to use I would highly recommend this.
The wi fi set up failed to materialise after many attepts, but i dont actually need it.
As a washing machine it works extremely well. The idos is very convenient and the easy to use settings are a doddle. Every setting is pretty much adjustable and all the adjustable settings are laid out in front of you.
The motor is super silent and the bleeper to let you know the wash has finish is needed otherwise youd never know.
Glad i paid the extra for this type of machine.
Very happy.
And im a man !!!!!!!!!
The first time we used this we thought it was faulty. It is so quiet that the water intake is louder than the machine itsself! The only time you can hear it is when it starts to spin, and even at full belt, it is nothing to worry about. Superb washing and great value for money.
Very quiet, good value for money.
‘How to’ booklet rather complicated but once used a few times, excellent.
Great washing machine however the installation costing 40 was extremely poor. The feet weren’t adjusted leaving the machine wobbling about. Then heard loud banging noises during the first run. Pulled the machine out and found the travel bolt plastic sleeves had been left in, these were banging against the drum internally causing the noise. Hopefully no long lasting damage to the machine! My partner warned me about buying this on Amazon as she was concerned the installation wouldn’t be done properly and she was right.
BEST Washer Ever!!
The BEST Washer i have ever owned runs a treat so easy to use and quiet sometimes have to check its still washing! A great all rounder digital controls and nice flush door so keeps nice and clean the best from BOSCH delighted hope to get many years from this great Washer!

Works well, the most silent machine I have ever used. Not all the program cleans well, but I have found the most suitable for me. Only problem was with it, at the time of purchase, the site didn’t let me choose the installation option, as when I clicked on it, the page didn’t let me go further, didn’t matter what date I choosed. Actually this site problem saved me 40 , as my friend came and installed it for free, hence I didn’t take out any star. I recommend the product and the seller, and there was no problem with the delivery, which we have a lot in this area.
Brilliant!! Highly recommended!
This is the best washing machine we have ever used.
Simple to use. Very quiet. Quick washes.
Plenty of programmes and settings.
The key feature for us is the two dispensers: one for detergent and one for conditioner.
Fill them up to the brim and forget it. The machine will adjust the dosage for you based on the programme chosen. No more silicon detergent ball inside every wash.
The display is touch screen, and the wifi option is useful to create your special settings and additional programmes. Wife is happy so I am happy too!
Found it cheapest here on amazon. Costco do sell it but for 50 more. Price correct at time of purchase.

We purchased this Bosch washing machine for my daughter and her new house and we are very happy with it. We have always liked Bosch equipment as it is reasonably priced but the equipment is always very reliable in our experience.
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.
Great Machine
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.

Bosch great machines
Easy to set up and use great results replaced 10 yr old machine following Asbestos contamination from house flood, will wait to set up the app waiting on new WiFi route
Good
The delivery person waited 20 minutes for me to get back home. The machine is quite good. It’s been just a month of use hopefully it will stay the same in future.
Perfect service
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
Easy to use
Used for washing clothes, very pleased with the programmes & the timings, adjusted how I use the programmes to suit my laundry.
Works perfectly
The W/M was delivered wihtin 4 days of placing the order and given a time slot of delivery on the day. Dlivery personel unpacked the item and made sure was in good visable condition. They took away all the packaging The W/M works as expected and plumbing in to an existing system was very easy

The product is as expected as it was to replace an old bosch washing machine. It was the sales pitch that was poor. Promised to remove old machine and install and test new machine (40 extra to be charged after providing service) not a problem. However delivery guys don’t install or remove old machines apparently. So I think it was a sneaky way of selling their product.
so far so good
An easy machine to operate, a lot quieter than most and washes a single item without going into orbit, very important if you work in a hospital. The light has proved a useful feature when checking that for that elusive sock. Surprisingly I found the WiFi feature quite useful in setting my own wash requirements and notification of the wash end.
Good quality and a good buy, I am very pleased I bought it.
This machine is great. However I have yet to get used to the longer time to complete the cycle. This is probably due to the cold fill while my older machine was hot and cold fill. Very happy overall.
Another excellent washing machine from Bosch. Bought it to replace one 19 years old and still in working order. Hope this performs as well! One small moan is the difficulty in lining up the mark on the control knob with the programme being selected unless looking straight on at eye level.
I would really recommend this product, great value for money.
I bought this product about 3 weeks ago and I am very happy with it .I love that there is a button to press ,which reduces the washing time .I feel that this is Important when you have a large family and need to do more than one wash in a day ,fantastic.
Getting to know my new Bosch washe
Love this washing machine. It is really easy to use and the iDos feature is handy. Not sure that I can actually fit more in than my old washer. Also if you want to use the eco mode the weight of your washing is reduced. You have to be careful if brushing passed the touch control panel because it is quite sensitive and can change your programme without you realising. The ability to stop the wash to add in missed items is so useful. I think I use this nearly everytime I wash. I didn’t find the homeconnect instructions easy to follow but got there in the end. Used to have a bed and bath programme on my old machine not sure what the equivalent wash is on this machine. Still time to discover.

Great machine.
Good wash machine really impressed with the features. You can also see how much water and power you are using per wash.
The IDOS is also a good feature I was not to sure about it but it does the job and saves me time.
Be sure to have someone help you move it as it is very heavy but worth the hassle.
Great machine.

Straightforward and reliable (so far!) machine – bought this one based on an earlier version that I brought over 15 years ago that finally gave up the ghost after lots of family and dog use!!!
Product was fine, communication from Amazon was dismal, delivery took nearly three weeks and only then once I made a tremendous fuss, appalling service from Amazon. I am disappointed by the lack of customer care and information, very poor.
This is my first Bosch washing machine. I’ve tried most of the other major brands over the years, so having had both a Bosch oven and fridge freezer and been happy with them, I decided to purchase this washing machine.
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.
