Score 10.0/10

Good points:: With a family of 5 this is a fantastic Bosch machine with a big washing bowl. Its pricey but definitely worth it. The Speed Perfect button is brilliant, saving the washing time by half. Average wash with Speed Perfect is one hour with a very good clean wash. Variable washes with heat and speed options available. Thoroughly recommend this machine.
Bad points:: There aren't any.

Jan, Lancashire Frequent user

Score 10.0/10

Good points:: 8kg drum means I don't need to wash as often & won't have to take duvets to the laundrette any more
1400 spin leaves everything much drier - but apparently without more creasing, which is clever!
most programmes are flexible - ie can select temp & spin speed
wash & spin both very quiet
bargain with current £100 cashback from Bosch
Bad points:: standard programmes are very long (but can be reduced with Speed Perfect button)
pump is loud
can vibrate a lot with unbalanced load

Type of loading	Front loading
This refers to where you can load the washing into the machine. Front loading is when the door is on the front of the machine and top loading is when you put washing in through an opening at the top of the machine. When purchasing a top loading machine, make sure you have enough room to open the hatch (top loading machines cannot be placed under a worktop). When looking for front loading machines, take note of which way the door opens so that you can make sure you have enough room to take washing in and out of the machine.
