Review: My old washer I had to retire or should I say it stopped working on Tuesday, after 13yrs of faithful service I now have an all singing and dancing new Bosch washer arrived today Friday it looks good easy to use though I have only used it a couple of times does as its told and more it even has a night time setting! well worth the money and for a few more pounds they will install and take away your old one and the packaging well impressed with the service from this company thankyou for your speed of delivery and the delivery people were very courteous and considerate x

Review: I love Bosch kitchen products. Our last Washing Machine lasted over 13 years, was used virtually every day and never required an engineer visit or a replacement part. This latest machine is good but it does not excel. It washes well, is incredibly quiet, appears to be well built and still inspires confidence. However: 1. The quick wash 15/30 min has a very short max spin speed of 1200 rpm and it's pretty useless. The washing is not as dry as I would like. Certainly nowhere near as dry as the older Bosch I had. So I either have to spin again at 1400 rpm or select to have the wash only with the 'no drain & spin' option and then when that cycle ends, select the drain and spin option separately at 1400. This increases a 15 minute quick wash time to around 30 mins at least. This is a huge disappointment as the one main benefit of having Bosch over others is their famous 'quick wash' option, which is no longer suitable and certainly a 'downgrade' in performance from previous models. I'm not sure it's the spin speed at fault or rather the length it spins for, which is incredibly short. 2. The wash time is ridiculously long. You can shorten most times with 'speed perfect' for smaller loads but for a full load of cotton bedding 3 hours is ludicrous. If like me you prefer to line dry, half the day is gone before you can even put the washing out. 3. Bosch has reduced the packaging that the machine is delivered in. A good thing?! well yes and no. I like the fact that it doesn't come in a massive box, it's delivered wrapped in polythene with polystyrene on all 4 corners but there is no protection at all around the door, which protrudes quite a way. So this makes damage to this part especially, highly likely. So even though it's shrouded in polythene, mine arrived with slight damage to the door. I received discount to keep it but even so it's another disappointment because I am forever looking at the very visible front scratches. Personally I would rather have a cardboard box that can be easily recycled than copious amounts of polythene that offer no real protections at all. I expect all the above, spin speed, wash time and packaging are due to the endlessly changing EU regulations on being overly ECO. I just can't see how increasing wash times which in turn increases energy consumption, reducing drying performance which again means extra energy is needed and reduced packaging which will lead to more returns due to damage, increasing C02 pollution in the transport process, are of much benefit to the overall cause. It would be great if the computerised section of these machines could have a firmware update to correct the flaws, which are all down to program software. As it is, this isn’t possible, so I’m left feeling slightly disappointed, which for me is a new experience with regard a Bosch product. I do feel that perhaps I should’ve spent more time researching other brands, as maybe this time I was duped by my brand loyalty.
