Excellent

Great machine, it does all I need it to do quietly and efficiently. Love the IDOS system, I don't have to worry if I'm putting too much or too little in to each wash, it does it all for me. Far more superior than machines I have paid £1000 for in the past. I would go as far to say it's the best machine I've had and trust me I've had a lot!

BOSCH is brilliant! 🫧🌊🧺

There are too many things that i love but to keep it short-ish and sweet; the build quality is superpurb. It's the most energy & water effecient washing machine that i've come across (3 washes from this new Bosch washing machine is equal to 1 wash from our old now-replaced A+++ ranked washing maschine) I adore the automatic fabric softener and detergent i-DOS feature. The ability to pause a wash mid-cycle with the "reload function" is brilliant. Really like the free 5 year warranty, however it would have been a dream if they provided a 10 year free warranty, but i do love the peace of mind with eveything else about the appliance and warranty i.e Original Bosch replacement spare parts, which are stored parts for up to ten years after producing appliances. I even really appreciate the fact that it has a drum interior light! This washing machine is just spot on!

Fabric softener

Just bought our first bosch washing machine and pleased with it's quiet performance and standard of cleanliness. However, despite adding fabric softener to the wash towels came out clean but very rough and the expected fresh fragrance was absent ? Any ideas

Great machine, but...

Love the flexibility of the machine and controls. Great results and cleans my laundry. Auto dose is great for general cleaning items with big bottle detergent. However I've found that the laundry pods better result fortunately I can bypass auto dose to use machine as normal. Maybe I need better quality big bottle detergent but this will increase plastic pollution. Bosch used to have an anti crease function (20yrs ago?) which have gentle tumble after machine finished (for up to 45 mins) . This nicely loosened the clothes, prevented the highly spun clothes creased & clinging to the drum. Ironing was subsequently easier. This was great and consumed little energy but not sure why bosch dropped this great feature. Perhaps the Bosch can used the Connected function give this feature back as an update to program options?
