This washing machine was not the cheapest option but I did my research and am glad I purchased this one. Easy to operate, with easy selection of a good variety of wash cycles to match what you really want to do. Great features with different washing liquid and softener settings which you can also reset if you want. Takes powder as well. Quiet and fast cycles if you want. Wash cycles are faster than previous front loaders I have used, with better results. makes its own hot water so only one connection. Quiet operation. The clothes come out cleaner and dryer (most cycles) than any machine I have used before. If you make a mistake you can turn it off and reset if you need (many other machines will not do this). easy set up and installation. I just love it, money well spent.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After 36 years of using a top loader machine I finally bought my first front loader after much angst. I’m impressed. Our electicity and water bills are going to be a lot less thanks to this new addition in our home.This machine has the auto detergent dispenser that measures out the exact amount of detergent required ,hopefully saving me money over time - thanks to the i dos feature. Also I was very impressed by the quietness of the unit .I chose a “ mix “ wash for my first wash. This took only 45 minutes which is a great option for a quicker wash .I can’t believe how quiet it is ! I am thrilled after just one use - I know what a great choice I’ve made. Thanks Bosch!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I cannot fault this washing machine. It does a great job with the washing, without taking hours to complete one load. We tend to mainly use a 30/40 degree cotton wash, which is about 1 hour. It also is so easy to use, with an easy to read and understand display. I had been dubious about the self-dosing soap and fabric softener function, but I now think this could almost be my most favourite feature of this machine. It actually saves so much time, not having to pour liquids every time we wash... which is quite often with two messy little people! It is also really well made and a good looking addition to our laundry. So pleased with our purchase, it is worth every cent!

Love my new washing machine. Installed it two weeks ago and have used a few different cycle options. It's super quiet and efficient! Great at quick washes. I love the timer to set washes to finish when suits me. I-Dos I thought would be a gimmick, but it is actually very handy not to think about it other than adjust the liquid and softener dose amount (if you don't agree with the program suggestions). Wouldn't change my machine for another. You can't go wrong with this! If I had to be critical of something; the touch screen has been accidentally lent on / knocked whilst the machine is in use which has paused the program etc. Would be good for it to be locked somehow?

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve had my machine now for just under 2 weeks and so now I can review it with some authority. I am really happy with this product.I am spoilt with the idos model as it automatically adds the detergent and even works out the water dosage.After 36 years of having a top loader machine and with some reluctance I made made the switch and am so pleased I did.My future water and electricity bills will be significantly less thanks to a 4.5 energy rating for each.With these utilities costing a premium at this present time this washing machine is worth its weight in gold.I real pleasure to use.Thanks Bosch.
