- A bit noisy when it spins

+ Large load. Washes well. Lots of programmes

+ Very easy to use machine, very quiet as well. Extremely good value for money.

- The only minor issue is that the door does not automatically open after the cycle has finished, so you have to twist the dial in order for the door to release. But again this is a very minor issue, other than that its brilliant and would highly recommend it.

+ JUST SO SIMPLE TO USE EVEN I CAN DO THE WASHING NOW ALSO VERY QUIET

- ONLY HAD THE WASHER 1 MONTH SO NO BAD POINTS TO REPORT AS YET

+ I didn't buy this for myself so can't make any comments from first hand experience, but my Mum is very happy indeed and she would definitely let me know of anything she wasn't happy with.
Being an ardent online shopper, I was given the job of finding a decent washing machine for around the £300 mark, and not having much of a clue about suchlike set about reading virtually every review anyone has ever made, while also looking for a bargain.
I myself bought a slightly cheaper Indesit at the time I bought my new kitchen 18 months ago, and the Bosch looks far superior build wise and is quieter.
My Mum is extremely impressed with the low noise in particular, and actually texted me after using it for the first time to say she 'loved' the new washing machine!

- I don't use it so wouldn't know, but I'd have been told about any faults or bad points by now.

+ Very quiet and excellent wash results.

- None

+ This is a quiet machine and easy to use

- It seems to take longer to do a wash than my previous Hoover

+ easy to use , energy efficient

- had no choice of colour,i preferred silver colour
unable to use timer switch,i have tried already,cannot do washes at night on timer.

+ Easy to use, basic programmes - nothing fancy but i don't find those settings necessary anyway.

+ Very quiet, washes well, more than enough programmes for all types of laundry. Fast spin. Very impressed with build and quality for the money.

- No bad points noted, but if I had to be hyper critical, perhaps the door could be flush with front.

+ easy to use

- none

+ Simple to use. Doesn't have loads of useless programmes - mainly ones I would use. Spins speed. Quietness.

- Long programme times and doesn't indicate how far into the wash it is.

+ Extremely easy to use, no hi tech stuff.

- None that I have experienced up to now.

+ all good so far

- no problem so far

+ solid and easy to use

- hasn't got as many features as other machines, i.e. it doen't have sports wash for a freshen up of gym kit say and it only has two spin options either 600 or 1200

+ High spin level; some cycles are very quick and so economical

- No half load feature; although lights tell you where you are in the cycle (wash, rinse, spin) a timer or a more specific indicator would have been helpful.

+ Bosch reliability as good as previous Bosch washer. Very quiet. The two spin speeds are quite adequte for todays wash loads. Versatility of programme choice. Very good value for money.

- None found yet.

+ Really quiet compared to my last washing machine which was a hotpoint, easy to use would recommend.

+ easy to use nice and quiet does a good job

- havent found any yet

+ Easy to programme and fairly eco-friendly.

- Cycle rather long.

+ Overall this is a great product and much better than what I had before. The cycle times are still not quite a short as I would like therefore I always use the express wash button to shorten them.

+ Well built

- Poor manual which did not clearly state what bits had to be removed before use - a common complaint according to the engineer

+ Typical Bosch quality

- None

+ No complicated wash cycle settings to pore over. Easy to decide which wash cycle to use. Large and clear on/off dial. Fast spin and clothes are almost dry at highest spin 1,400 rpm. Strong loading door in line with the high build quality. Low noise even at fastest spin. Clothes come out clean and fresh.

- None I can think off. Just pleased with this machine. Recomended.

+ Easy to use and looks quite retro.

- No half load facility.

+ A lovely inexpensive machine. I have always used Zanussi but was diappointed with my last one and was told Bosch was a very good make and i must agree so far its true.

- None

+ Easy to use, quiet and reliable
