simple, easy to use, washing machines are often overcomplicated, but this is just right

Easy to use. Quick washing time on the one programme only used so far 40% colours. Very quiet. Good load capacity.

I have found it a much quieter machine, particularly when it goes on fast spin. I like the clock which tells you how much time there is left in a wash. Also I am impressed how dry the clothes come out. I think I will probably be saving money by a reduced time for tumble drying.
None at the moment.

Very easy to use - nice big door, senses how many clothes/weight of garments and adjusts accordingly, so no need for half load button. Very pleased with product.

Easy to use, 30 degree programme. Light touch control to start wash.
Tells you when wash is finished by beeping but this carries on until you turn it off which is a bit annoying if you can not get to it right away.

The machine has good variety of programmes and you can set the spin speed irrespective of the programme chosen. The child lock is very good and avoids accidental resetting of the programme if anyone leans on the machine during it's cycle. I've had a number of Bosch appliances and found them all reliable and long lasting.
Not sure I like the look of the buttons but that's only a minor negative in what is overall a great machine and good value for money.

Very quiet. Large door opening.
No half load option. End of cycle alert - persists in beeping until cancelled - annoying when machine put on just before going to bed! (I haven't yet investigated whether this can be changed by user). Can't start part way through cycle - e.g. if just want to rinse.

Reliable, very sturdy and doesn't move during spin cycles. It washes and rinses clothes very thoroughly. I like being able to change the spin speed on some washing cycles, and also like the digital time display which is extemely helpful.
The machine is very heavy which makes it very difficult to move into position under a work surface

Well built with lots of useful features
Door sticks out further than the previous model so it doesn't fit under the worktop quite as well

30 degree cycle that takes only 44 mins.
It beeps once the cycle has finished until you turn it off or open the door. This is a good feature if you are waiting for it to finish but can be annoying.

Very easy to use, very quick and reasonably quiet. The countdown to finish time is brilliant.
When it has finished a cycle it beeps, then beeps, and beeps and beeps. It goes from being useful to a little annoying.

Ease of use, smart looking, fairly quiet in operation
No real negative points - does everything we need in a machine in this price range

quiet, good value for money
would have liked a quick wash cycle shorter than the 55 minutes it takes

M, London
Solid design, simple ergonomic controls, easy set-up. Good cycle options
No quick wash. Cycle times rather long. Emphasis is on saving water/energy rather than convenience.

Easy to use. Logical programme settings. Can alter speed of spin during cycle.
Heavy when trying to manouvre into position. When fitting under worktop is was impossible to level with a spirit level as suggested in the manual - had to level up before putting it under worktop and hope for the best. It has no rear wheels to enable pushing in - very difficult when the kitchen is fitted with carpet tiles.

It gives a countdown of time remaining, it beeps at the end of the cycle
It could be easier to programme, its somewhat difficult to programme at first, hand book is not very good.

Very impressed with product. Easy to use. All the functions you need. Particularly like the time delay and the choice of spin option with every cycle. Have already recommended it through word of mouth.
The buttons are very sensitive and I have inadvertantly changed the settings mid cycle e.g., switched on rinse hold or changed the spin speed by brushing past machine

lots of choice amongst the programmes - very easy/clear to use - possibility to delay the start of the programme
repeating beeping noise at the end of the programme which precludes runnig it during the night!

Steve, Stafford
Good variety of programmes. Large door that opens fully. Very quiet even when spinning.
Annoying beep that sounds when the programme ends. Great in the day time - not so good when you have set the programme to run after you've gone to bed. I'm sure you can switch it off - but have not found it in the book yet!

Great value for money. Robust machine. Great timer feature and good selection of cycle times. Door folds all the way and load size is excellent. Very pleased so far.
No half load and buttons are a little sensitive, but minor points really.

it offes a good range of programmes without going over the top with complex gimmicks. I like the count down feature to the cycle end and the alarm to notify the washing is ready
the door is ugly, sticks out a lot and doesn't close easily

This is a fantastic washing machine. I particularly like the child lock feature so little fingers cannot fiddle. Your washing emerges soft and fragrant. The cycles have enough variation to suit all needs. It is lovely and quiet and lets you know when the cycle is finished.

It gives the cycle time and keeps to them to the minute. It has a bigger drum than my previous machine and it gives the option of adding more water depending on the load.
The instructions do not explain the eco wash very clearly. I have had to scrutinise the booklet several times to try and figure out the various options and what they mean.

Makes a beeping noise at the end of the cycle - haven't found the way to turn it off. Confusing instruction book. Washes great. Drying cycle is very good.

A good quiet quality product which lets you know the washing times, so you can plan accordingly.
'Handbook' was a bit of a jumble on first looking at it. Although it had the essential features it was difficult to find things quickly.

very quiet and doesnt move and vibrate even on fastest spin. alarm beeping when cycle finished is good and when I forgot to close the door it beeped at me too which was good.
no programme for 1 item only-but that is a very minor point

I really love the timer function allowing me to set a load away on a morning and then being able to remove it from the wash when I arrive home from work with it just having finished washing when I walk through the door.
There is no half load function which is useful to me with there only being 2 of us.

V Minor At the end of the wash remembering to turn the Cycle selecter back to the off position. A couple of times i have inadvertantly hit the start switch thinking it was an On/Off switch only to find the wash cycle restart over.

Choice of cycles, spin is so quiet compared to my old machine.
None so far, however if it had a quick wash/half load cycle it would be fantastic

Very quiet, much better than my last machine
Like the beeps to tell you the cycle has finished as the machine is so quiet you wouldn't always notice. But one set of beeps would be enough. Will be turning off the beeps as too annoying when they keep going off.
