Register with Bosch to get free 5years warranty for entire appliance if you buy new one this year (2023); 10 years of free warranty for the engine by default! It's super quiet. Unbelievable. I was checking is it working before i got used to it being so quiet. Well made product. No whistles no glitter, just a very well designed and build washing machine. Feels premium. Drum is protecting clothes and each program starts with dry weighting of load. Huge variety of programs, most of them can be adjusted in regards to temperature, spinning speed, extra water and even make them much quicker with "speed perfect" option. Personally I'm trying to use mostly the eco program which takes around 3,5h and it's done at night, freshly ready to hang in the morning as I'm using delay option. This way i benefit from A energy rating and clothes feel really clean. This washer is VERY HEAVY. this eliminates the vibrations, be prepared for it if you willinstall it yourself

Register with Bosch within 28 days to get free 5 years warranty for entire appliance if you buy new one this year (2023); 10 years of free warranty for the drum drive motor by default! It's super quiet. Unbelievably we was checking if it was working before we got used to it being so quiet. So very well made, it’s just a very well designed and built washing machine. Feels premium. Drum is protecting clothes and each program starts with dry weighting of load. Huge variety of programs, most of them can be adjusted in regards to temperature, spinning speed, extra water and even make them much quicker with "speed perfect" option. Love the black door as it helps to tie the machine in with things like our darker worktops and accessories, so far it cleans really well and for the first time in years since getting this machine we can actually smell the softener!. Highly recommend.

So I’ve had this a week and used it lots. Simple and easy to use. Extremely quiet and I kept checking it to see if it was still going. Gets stuff nice and clean. So very happy.

Amazon deliver for free if you accept it will be between 7am and 7pm and will collect the old appliance in situ but drained for a very reasonable £10. They will unpack the new machine for £5 and take packaging away. I wish I had booked that as it was really difficult on my own to get the polystyrene base off as it has the weight of the whole machine on it. You need a 13mm socket to remove the four transit bolts and a 17mm spanner to adjust the retaining nuts on the four feet but you need a bigger one to turn the rubber feet first as there’s little room to get the spanner between the feet and the chassis to move the 17mm nuts for levelling.It’s difficult to slide the machine on a hard floor as the feet are rubber so stutter, easier to put on cardboard to move to the place it will be put. I did a guesstimate to adjust the feet after checking the floor levels whilst the machine was on its side WITH TRANSIT SCREWS STILL INSTALLED to get the polystyrene base off with a friends help. It would be difficult adjusting the feet when it’s on its feet! How do you get to the back two feet when it’s at the back of a cabinet? I guess in realty not that much levelling goes on. Anyway my guess worked I adjusted one front corner lower than the other three because I used a level to check the floor prior.Attached the inlet hose and put outlet hose into drain pipe using a hose clip that I already had. It was mentioned in the paper manual (yes there is one in the drum) but it’s an extra so if you need one get one in advance. Seems standard size hence used a zanussi clip/horseshoe. Electric cable is on right side at the back low down but if your socket is on the left there are a row of three loose clips under the back of the top that it can be routed along which I thought was a very neat design thought as it gets the cable away from the inlet and outlet hoses dangling around the back.I’ve done a wash it was quiet in operation and has an air of quality about it. Was rock solid on the floor no moving around or shuddering that I got with my old machine. Lots of programmes I can’t claim to understand or be very interested in all the permutations but the Mixed cycle takes 60 minutes at 40c which is probably what I will use most but who knows as I discover the intricacies of it.It was straightforward registering online for the five year extended warranty which is included with this machine at time of writing just make sure you take down the various enr, fd, z numbers on the back of the machine door! Better than phoning and probably getting the numbers letters etc taken down wrong or needing endless clarification/confirmation, e for echo t for tango you know the drill. Although the enclosed warranty leaflet alludes to a £99 charge if wishing to extend from two to five years when you register it clearly states a FIVE year warranty so that’s a bonus!P.S. Unless you are a masochist it’s worth paying Amazon £5 to have the new machine unpacked (all was easy until it came to the polystyrene packing on the base! Impossible to remove as whole weight of machine on it so had to lay machine on its side with help from a strong bloke, with transit bolts still in place so drum doesn’t sag or pull other parts down or crush). Maybe even pay the optional £15 to have it installed depends on the quality of the installer I guess and if you are really up to lugging heavy things around and confident to attach the hose so watertight and fit the drain pipe outlet in place. Bosch make sliders for the feet too at additional cost or make your own out of thin shiny hardboard.Addendum. After using the machine for two weeks on a couple of occasions the clothes and especially any towels have felt almost wet after the final spin even though I used the fastest 1400 spin speed and could even see water in the drum just before the cycle completed. My old zanussi from 2008 spun more effectively with its 6kg drum. It is amazingly quiet though I didn’t know it was possible!

Well it’s a Bosch what else but fantastic product. Bought this at a fantastic price it was £80 cheaper than Cxxxxx plus free delivery. The delivery company were great kept me up to date with everything.

Our old Bosch washing machine had died - we had had it many years! Replaced with this model, which was pretty close to our old one, but obviously updated. So far, so good. It's washing, rinsing, and drying well - as expected. Seems pretty calm when doing so. No complaints.

Like the quick wash for lightly soiled which only takes half an hour and got clothes just as clean. Really quiet. Lots of programmes but I suspect I will only be using 2 or 3 regularly. Like the Drum clean option as well.The detergent drawer is still quite stiff - I don't like to force it too much in case it breaks, but it does need a good pull to open.Had a Bosch before which lasted me for 20 years so I am hoping a similar life span for this one.

Super machine, hope it’s long lasting
