Good efficient washing, easy to use

Limited features including: - Only 2 spin speeds - 1400 and 600 (I expected range of speeds between these). - No extra rinse facility - No anti crease slow drum rotation after final spin

Door seems a bit flimsy, which is a bit of a worry as it takes more force to open and close than my old machine needed.

it was on offer. it is a bosch that should be of a good quality.

it takes too long to finish the cycle and it does not tell you how long the cycle will take. the spin time and the quality of the wash is not very satisfactory. it has a smaller load capacity - consumming more time and energy to do the job.

What I love about this machine is it's simplicity, it does everything that I want it to do, I've had machines before that are jam packed with different features and do everything but make the tea in the morning, but at the end of the day I've never got to use the added "extras" because basically I have never needed to. All the features that I ever use are right here in this little white box. Bosch have kept it simple so there's less things to go wrong in the future, it all looks pretty much like "plug & play" kit to me.

Can't honestly think of any at that price, a real bargain compared to some of the "cheaper" manufacturers that I wouldn't touch with a barge pole.

The Bosh Washing Machine seems to work well and is fairly quite and simple to operate. Only time will tell if it is reliable and trouble free.

I can't think of many bad points, perhaps the wash seems long and there's no gauge to tell how long it's going to take.
