Great machine, quiet and good spin
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was unsure about getting this machine in relation to reading other reviews about longer cycles. The thing is, yes there are longer cycles which are more energy saving but the speed perfect function reduces the cycle a lot. I think a normal cold water load can take about an hour. There is also quick 30 minutes and 15 minutes. I reccomend reading the instructions. The machine is quiet ( ground it flat properly) so can be left on for longer cycles without making too much noise (handy in apartments) . It washes well. Also the water temperature setting makes you pay attention to clothing labels. Reccomended this product.

5 month review
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this washing machine to replace my old Bosch washer which broke down after 20 years of use. Their are options within the same price bracket which have features like smart home integration and/or more types of wash cycles which I have no need for and would never use. What matters most to me is a machine built to last. This washer is extremely quiet and doesn't wobble. Loads come out very dry. My only criticism is the 'buttons' activating through touch (like a touch screen) which are a bit finicky, a mechanical switch would be far better. All in all I'm very happy with my purchase. Its a great machine for up to a small family.

Top Quality
Bosch has always held a solid name in their various products. And they didn't disappoint on this washing machine. As expected, it's quiet and does such a wonderful job, the washing is mildly damp on completion, which helps with drying in the colder weather.

Very happy so far. So much quieter and smoother than my previous old machine. Good range of programs with a good range of adjustments that can be made to spin speed, duration etc. I have lots of delicates and (machine washable) wool and find it's quite gentle on these items. The load detection feature means it suitable for frequent small loads for a one person household, as well as easily coping with larger loads of linens etc. (Note: The initial new machine smell, plastic and rubber, was overpowering. I had to keep the room well aired for the first few days.)

Bosch 8kg Series 2 Front Loader
I bought this machine just over a month ago and so far I'm very happy with it. It is very quiet and has a wide range of cycles including a super quick 15 minute cycle for very small loads. I bought this to replace a Bosch Classixx washing machine that lasted over 13 years, so I have high expectations of this machine - that's why I chose another Bosch.

8KG Front Loader Washing Machine
Have had this washing machine for 8 weeks.
I love it's look, compact, nice and quiet.
What I don't like is the towels and flannels are stiff when dried.
Never had this before ( have always had agitator machines, no problem with the towels etc.
I'm using Persil Pods in the Bosch machine. Should I be adding something else to get softer towels etc?
It says in the booklet not to use fabric softener.

Quiet and amazing
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought this washing machine to replace our old Bosch, which lasted 12 years and through I think more than 10,000 cycles! This new model is quiet, does the job in less time and is just a perfect option for busy families with basketfulls of uniforms, sports garnments and towels. I am sure this one will last more than a decade as well.
