Incredibly quiet ; Good choice of programmes ; Useful Steam action reduces ironing time ; Very low energy & water consumption

Control knob is cosmetic hiccup ; Options menu rather complex

*Annual figure based on the average UK household running 200 x 30 degree 80% max loads and 40 x 40 degree 40% half loads (50/50 split normal & eco).

Quiet and takes huge load of washing

Plug lead is a bit short.

machine is so quiet and he 50 minute cycle is saving so much energy and time

Easy to use. good features.large drum, looks good has long warranty

Chewed a school tie, slight burning smell when first used steam Feature.

Machine "measures" load to calculate washing parameters such as amount of water to use. Also measures weight distribution to ensure balanced spin. Loads of clever features, really quiet, built in Japan, so excellent build quality!

Nothing.

very quiet

would like to be able to do just a hot wash for towels

Fantastic capacity Deals with all load sizes amazing flexibility in the programming so that you can adjust/create programmes that suit you Very quiet spin Exceptionally quiet when washing Brilliant display that informs you of every stage of the wash...

Can be noisy when its trying to balance the washing in readiness for spinning. This balancing process can add considerable time to the shown time whether its a full or small load.

Very quiet. Washes stuff.

None so far.

Remains stable when spinning the laundry. Easy to load and unload Quiet operation.

Not really, it's a pricey machine but it's made to a high standard so it delivers good results.

You can get loads in a wash = less loads = less time =less money. Comes out drier and cleaner than previous Bosch washing machine. Really quiet. Can stop the cycle and pop the rogue escapee sock in within seconds.

Would be nice if it was cheaper, although it is competitively priced!
