Sleek, Stylish and Quiet

We bought this to replace a 12-year old Bosch washer which had developed a few faults, although it would still wash. Having seen the machine in a shop, I have to say that I found the black door a little off-putting as our old machine was all white. However, with it installed in our house, I find that I actually prefer the black door to a white one. It definitely looks sleek and puts our tumble-dryer to shame (that's next on the list!). Operationally, if you read the handbook, things seem quite complicated, but after a few uses, it gets easier as we tend to use a small number of programs. We've found that if we use similar programs to those we used on our old washing machine, they take a similar amount of time to run. I guess this surprised me a little as I thought 12 years on things might have got a bit quicker. It's not an issue though as it at least makes the machine seem more familiar. When it's running, and particularly when it is on a 1400 spin cycle, the machine is exceptionally quiet and doesn't bounce around like the old one did. Leave the room the washer is in and you can barely hear it. That is a big plus! We quickly figured out how to use the iDOS system and it seems to work well, although I do have a slight suspicion that it uses more washing detergent than the small cupful we used to use in the old washer. That being said, I trust that it is choosing the correct amount, so it's not a problem. Overall, I've got to say that I'm impressed. Always been a Bosch fan and this machine has reinforced my opinion of Bosch being the brand to trust. Pro's: - iDOS saves time and effort measuring out detergent and fabric conditioner - Machine is very quiet whilst washing and even on a 1400 spin - Looks sleek and stylish - Handles large loads well - Low electricity usage (relative to our old machine) Con's: - Handbook can be a little confusing - particularly around the weights of loads for various wash types

Amazing washer

This washing machine is brilliant. It has a wide range of preset programmes and allows you to set your own too. Super quiet and I use the timer function to set the load away early in the morning so it is ready for me when I get up. Also great to have different weight options for when I need to do a smaller load. Have my washer on at least once per day and not had a single issue with it.
