Great Washer

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my second Bosch Washer. I like that it is so compact and the ease of using is also great. My 90 yr old mother even likes it. She says at least I can do my own laundry cause she can load it much easier then having to put the laundry in from the top. The ease of maintenance is also very good. Thank for a Great Washer .

E:20

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've searched online and cleaned it, opened the cleaner, and there's no hair or sludge, but the problem is still not solved.

Bosch just keeps getting better!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my third Bosch washer. It's quieter, has a faster 1400 rpm spin speed, and the panel shows more information, including the time remaining. It uses 240V and the same plug as previous washers so it was simply plug and play for me (most 1 star reviews I've read are about buyers not realizing they had to use their 240V dryer plug with an adapter or convert this outlet...). I'm not keen on an internet connection for my washer so the basic mo...

Lack of spin-only cycle a significant oversight

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This washer is quiet, easy to use, and definitely gets my clothes clean. However, I've found the lack of a spin-only cycle to be incredibly frustrating. The spin/rinse cycle is misleading; even when no "extra rinse" option is illuminated, a rinse cycle still occurs before any spinning begins. The accompanying dryer takes a very long time to get clothes/linens/etc. adequately dry, and it would be great to have a spin-only cycle to reduce some dr...

Perfect solution for constrained spaces

We had to buy a new washing machine when ours broke, and because of the narrow hallway to the basement we were very limited in our choices. That turns out to have been an advantage, since it steered us to this compact front-loader. We've had the washer for a month, so it's been through several cycles of kids clothes, bedding, delicates, and lots of workout clothes. While you'll hear about load constraints, if you sort your laundry and are able to throw in a load every other day or so (and maybe ...

Bearings

After eight years the bearings in the drum gave out. I'm pretty handy so I tore apart to fix it with the exception of this particular model the 2/2 of the plastic drum that house the steel drum are glued together and not screwed together. You have to separate this drum to get to the steel part to get to the bearings. There's no way to put it back together. There's no glue that's gonna hold this.

CONSTANT E05 ERROR

Washer-have to unplug and replug every time we start a wash to reset the E05 error message from Day One. Did not touch the drainage hoses between washes. Brought this up with dealer and got pushback to swap out for a different model. Once it is reset, it washes fine. But a total pain for my 87 year old mom.

Easy to install, efficient and quiet

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This washer recently replaced a 30-year old Asko unit in our house, but has also been in two on-site studio apartments. It has more bells and whistles than we need - reliability and efficiency were the main selection criteria. The only complaint is how the electrical combination box pushes the companion dryer forward 1-2" encroaching on the 24" anticipated countertop depth. (This, of course, depends on the location of your electrical receptical...

Small, mighty, perfect for my needs

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this washer to replace a 'dummy' (not smart/wifi) washing machine that I had been holding onto for years. I did not want a smart washer, but the washer works perfectly fine without using any of those features. I've literally never set them up. So if you miss the old 'dummy' washers, this one suits all my needs and gets my clothes clean. I love the 'heavy soil' option.
