Great machine

Replaced a previous Bosch (18 years old) Bigger drum, quieter motor less energy comsuming. So all good

Washes well and is quiet

The new machine seems to wash well, is quieter than our old machine and the i-DOS system has its benefits. However, there are few practical things which I feel let it down. The main one is that you don't know when it has finished its cycle unless you happen to hear the couple of quite quiet beeps at the end. And yes, I have increased the olume to maximum. Our old machine would continue to beep loudly until you opened the door. Now we have to set a seperate timer and carry it around with us. Secondly, whilst the i-Dos means you don't have to worry about putting in detergent and conditioner every wash, it's not great if you wish to use different detergents for different washes. Lastly I find levelling the machine to avoid vibration is nigh on impossible, although to be fair this is an issue with most machines. Once the machine is pushed under the worksurface it is impossible to put a spirit level front to back and even if you could the whole machine has to be disconnected and removed to adjust the feet at the back.

Fantastic well engineered washer

Review: Bosch Series 6 Washing Machine – Exceptionally Impressed I am thoroughly impressed with my Bosch Series 6 washing machine. From the moment I started using it, I could tell it was a high-quality appliance. The build feels sturdy and durable, and the sleek design complements my kitchen perfectly. What stands out most is its performance. The machine runs exceptionally quietly, even during the spin cycle, which is a welcome change from my previous washer. The range of programmes is versatile, catering to everything from delicate fabrics to heavily soiled items. The EcoSilence Drive technology is particularly impressive – not only is it quiet, but it also appears to be highly energy-efficient. The results speak for themselves: clothes come out spotlessly clean, fresh, and well-cared for. I also appreciate the large drum capacity, which makes washing bulky items like duvets much easier. The SpeedPerfect function is a real bonus, reducing wash times without compromising on quality. Overall, I couldn’t be more pleased with this washing machine. It combines efficiency, reliability, and ease of use with fantastic cleaning results. I would highly recommend the Bosch Series 6 to anyone looking for a top-performing and energy-efficient appliance.

Best washing machine

This is the best washing machine that I have ever owned. Lovely large drum and a nice quiet spin. The choice of temperatures and settings are brilliant for all your washing and being able to choose what type of stain that you are washing is a great feature. I love that the door catch is a nice metal one so that the door feels securely shut. It washes so well that my clothes feel softer than before and I would recommend this machine to anybody.
