The machine is easy to use, has very good cycle options and is quiet. It is efficient and worth every penny! Highly recommend this product .
Bosch, great machines. Large capacity and does the job well
SO pleased with this machine, good capacity, not the cheapest, but quality costs.
The machine is so quiet in operation I have found myself having to check that it has started. v. quiet during the cycle and during the spin.
cant say to much just had it installed from my last washing machine hostpoint aquarius aaa
Machine seems solidly built and is much quieter than our previous Bosch
Can’t review wash performance as only just started using i
I struggled to find a replacement washer dryer to fit my space but Bosch had washing machines that did fit. It’s been a month and I’m very happy, good selection of programmes, quieter than previous model. Very happy with my purchase
How silent it was worth paying that extra few pounds
Great washing machine that does the job quietly and effectively. So easy to use would recommend to anyone.
Works great and has everything you need in an 8kg washer. Very happy customer and the Amazon delivery team fitted it for us and took off one away. Recommended.
… 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.
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.
It was so easy to install I’m in my seventy’s and female after watching a u tube video I managed to install it myself with a little help from my son-in-law
I really recommend Bosch they are value for money well made and very reliable I had my last Bosch washer 14yrs
Very quiet operation and like ability to change temperature settings in individual programmes. Hope it lasts as long as the last Bosch machine, 16 years plus.
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!
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.
Plenty of programs including a 15 or 30 minute wash. Quiet working. Great results.
I don’t dislike anything for this machine it’s just a job
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
My 13 year old Bosch washing machine finally died.
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.
I had my last bosch 17 years and wouldn’t have anything else.
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.
Works brilliantly but front panel display looks like something from the 90s. Having said that loads of white goods manufacturers put screens on their appliances that are laughable in their resolution. Surely it wouldn’t cost much to make it look like a early iPhone
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.
This is the second Bosch washing machine we’ve had and it comes fully up to our expectations with the added bonus that it’s easy to program.
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.
We referred to the youtube installation clip and installed it ourselves, very easy.
It works very well and very quiet when spinning.
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.
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.
I like this machine. It’s really quite, easy to use, but obviously it is really, really hard to install. I paid 40 for the installation and in six months my wonderful new machine quit working.
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.
This machine delivered as advertised.
The machine was was very easy to install
This machine has a very quiet spin cycle and loads of different wash cycle.
Great machine. Not that easy to install. Came with an extremely short hose. My plumber had 2 attempts at popping out to get an outlet pipe long enough to reach the drainage outlet pipe. Had I paid for installation with amazon they would not have been able to install it and it would have been money wasted. Can’t fault the machine itself though.
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.
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.
I’m quite happy with this washing machine.
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.
The thing that lets the machine down is that the instruction book is far to complicated to follow needs simplifying for ease of use.
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.
I have had this machine for one month now and at first I was quite dismayed at the length of some of the programmes- so I have tried them all and have found that the ( much) shorter programmes work just as well as The (very) long ones so I am content and now have my favourites!
I am astounded at how quiet the machine is and delighted with how well it actually washes all my whites are now white.
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!
emember when washings used to shake and rattle and start walking across the room during the pin cycle?
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.
Very happy with my new machine and especially with the delivery installation and removal of the old machine all for an extra 40 . Well worth it .
A VERY sensitive control panel – if you lean on it/knock it/ child touches it then the cleaning starts all over again!
Great washing machine easy to use. Jus be careful leaning against it when reaching into your wall units as the touch control can resest to wash.
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.
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.
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.
So far really pleased with machine. It’s lovely and quiet when in use which was really important living in a flat with an open kitchen.
Works as you would expect. The only minor thing I would change if I could was to make the door a bit bigger as it’s quite small in comparison to my last machine. But only a very minor issue……
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.
Wonderfully quiet machine which delivers a superb wash. Things are coming out cleaner than ever. Only downside is that the cycles are very long – the eco cycle is over 3 hours!
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
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.
