Lovely quiet machine Very pleased so far ! Installation was a top job Thank you !

This machine is so quiet, in the first couple of weeks, I would repeatedly check that, yes it has started, yes it is going through the wash cycle. The door is easy to use, my last machine was so cluncky (eventually the door hinge broke). Did I say it was quiet! I like the floor display - as you walk through the kitchen I can see how much longer the cycle has to run. The alert sound when the was has finished is great - I can hear it through the house. I’ve not yet done a night wash, but understand the alert automatically switches off. Nearly didn’t say - it washes well. One little niggle - select your program, but it doesn’t display the temperature, so I use one of the buttons to cycle through the temp. options, just to check it’s what I want. Installed by Amazon - it was difficult to fit, the guys had to remove some wood/ re drill holes for pipe and the integrated door. Great machine, great service. Top marks.

Had a Bosch washing machine before so ordered the nearest equivalent model I could find. Installation easy and impressed with the updated features. So far all is ok. My only concern is it is not as quiet as the previous model (15 years) old. Machine is stable no movement when spinning but the drum appears to have a lot of movement. Correct I don’t know?

There’s a fitting the back of this machine that isn’t standard. I’ve not been able to find a plumbers who’s even seen a fitting like this, let alone fit it. I’ve been forced to return machine to Amazon at the cost of £50.

Great washing machine shame the installation couldn’t happen, had to get it fitted by someone else at a cost of £132

It does what you expect a Bosch to do. It's efficient and quiet. Good to have a larger capacity than my last machine. Good to have a 5 year guarantee as well! It is slightly larger than my last machine, so watch the space you have.

prefferred to previous aeg model which nearly set our house on fire

Absolutely horrendous installation service. They were unfriendly right from the start and got visibly frustrated when they couldn’t finish the job fast enough. Scratched the surrounding cabinetry and damaged the unit itself. By paying extra for convenience you get the opposite result - a headache. The washing machine is solid though, very quiet indeed. 5 stars for the product, 0 for installation. Wish I could rate them separately.
