Good points:: Its all good...From the 15 minute super quick wash( which gets used a lot) to the speed perfect facility which cuts a normal wash time yet still gives excellent end results. The best machine I have had.
Bad points:: None really .... The buzzer to tell you its finished is the loudest noise this machine makes..but you can turn it off.

Score 9.0/10

Good points:: I bought this washing machine to replace an old Bosch, that had given me 7 years of non stop use. I decided to replace with another Bosch knowing the build quality will last and last. This is a bigger drum than the one it replaced and it spins better than the old one although the spin speed is supposed to be the same. Overall a great machine and a good price would definitely recommend.
Bad points:: It takes a little while to understand how to operate the machine as there are so many variable available with each programme, once mastered its a great machine.
