My contribution to the environment! Bosch!

by Magick1 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, May 25 '01
Pros: Less water and soap usage, less friction on clothes, clothes are more clean!!!
Cons: Slightly small front load, cannot comfortably wash king-sized comforters!
Bosch makes a fantastic product. I cannot say it enough! I have already reviewed the Bosch dryer, and thought about how I would work on the washer. This has been a bit tougher to write about, because it has TOO many options!

Never loved a major appliance before

by wilkster1 , Sep 05 '02
Pros: VERY quiet, no load imbalance problems, very energy efficient, gets clothes cleaner than my top-loader.
Cons: Takes a little getting used to. Small dimensions. Operating instructions a little vague.
I recently built a brand-new home, and wanted everything to be perfect, so when it came time to pick appliances I was willing to do quite a bit of research. I had been hearing about front-loading washers for a while, and decided that was the way to go in...

Perfect for the urban lifestyle

by pspark Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Apr 02 '03
Pros: Compact, low operating cost, easy to maintain.
Cons: Washer settings are strange, long wash/dry times, delicate parts.
I've had my Bosch for two and a half years now and I can say that it's functioned like a champ. Aside from some flimsiness of the dryer's vent access panel, and having problems deciphering the washer's settings, I have yet to register any complaints....

Great when it works

by wresnick , May 11 '05
Pros: Great job cleaning, uses little electricity, water and detergent.
Cons: small capacity, not as reliable as it could be.
When I got this machine over five years ago, I was very pleased. Whites came out whiter, and clothes came out cleaner. Despite its small capacity, it can be loaded until full, and still do a good job, since there is no agitator. This machine senses ...

Love my Bosch

by gailpat , Jan 12 '02
Pros: compact, uses less detergent, very quiet -- works great!
Cons: small washer, long wash/dry times, VERY low door for putting in clothes
When we bought a new house, I was determined to have laundry facilities on the second floor. It makes no sense to me to create all the dirty clothes on the top floor, shlep them into the basement to wash them and then shlep them back up two flights of...

Quite Simply The Best

by re26 , Dec 23 '00
Pros: Precious treatment of clothes combined with Herculean cleaning
Cons: PRICE, may be small for some, no color range
If you are not willing to pay $900 for a washing machine please hit your browser's "back" button.

For those of you who are still with me, the Bosch product(s) (I have the dryer also) are quite simply the best you will get. I have had both...

Great Cleaning Power, Compact Exterior, Roomy Interior!

by mykoh , Apr 13 '01
Pros: Gets clothes really clean; lots of cycle options; compact exterior size
Cons: Confusing for a first-time user with no manual
I bought my Bosch front-loading washing machine about a year ago (early 2000) in a set with my Bosch Condensation Dryer (reviewed separately).

Making the Decision
I knew I wanted a front-loading washer for several reasons. First, I...

hate this machine

by donna901 , May 22 '05
Pros: nothing
Cons: parts, reliability
If you asked me 3 years ago when we moved into a new house with brand new Bosch washing machine and dryer how I like them I'm sure my review would have been fine just like some of the raving reviews I've read here. They were not my pick; the builder of ...

Avoid

by mcallihan , Jan 12 '04
Pros: Energy and water efficient, does a great job cleaning clothes, takes up little space
Cons: Poor quality, unreliable, expensive to repair, small capacity
We have owned the Bosch washer/dryer system for 3+ years. We bought because we were sold on the benefits of front-load washing over top load. We believed we could get 20+ years of use out of the machines. We also appreciated the efficiency. They ...

Efficient, effective But Slightly Flawed

by coinvoyager , Feb 16 '03
Pros: Cleans really well Easy to use
Cons: Expensive service Small size Must bend down Swallows pocket change Loud
I have had the washer and dryer pair for about one year and I am reasonably satisfied with it. Some positive notes I have about the washer:
1) I immediately noticed that it cleans better than the older top-loader we used to use. Stains came out of...

Hell on Earth

by hopf1890 , Jan 18 '05
Pros: None. The best thing it does so far is washes our delicates carefully.
Cons: Dingy whites, stains, streaks, poor company support,expensive
WE TOTALLY HATE THIS MACHINE! We purchased this machine 4 years ago after listening to the hype: uses less water, soap, electricity, diluted fabric softener, no problems, gentler on clothes, etc. Well this washer is a nightmare that never ends. Our ...

Bosch WFK24 washer is Awesome

by cstars , Oct 28 '01
Pros: Energy efficient, uses less H20, quick wash, convenient front loader
Cons: Small opening, buzzer at end of cycle can be annoying.
Our laundry set up is located in a converted shower so size constraints narrowed down our choices to European models. We considered the Miele (to expensive), the Asko (Madonna's choice) and the Bosch. We selected the Bosch because it was the lowest...

Love Love Love It !

by jheroun , Sep 14 '00
Pros: everything
Cons: installing extra electrical outlet
Ok, so its a bit dramatic to say a machine has change my life- but I do love the Bosch washer + dryer (only one model available in the U.S.) I had the unit installed on the second floor of my house- which is such a time saver -if you can manage it. You...

You won't BELIEVE how clean the Bosch will get your clothes!

by ShellyRae , Sep 02 '00
Pros: super cleaning power, energy efficient, lots of cycle options
Cons: noisy at high speed spin options, may not be large enough for big families
I researched for months and months before I bought my Bosch front-loading washing machine. My main considerations when choosing a washer were cleaning power, energy-efficiency, and noise level.

I absolutely love my Bosch. As for cleaning...

Buyer Beware on Bosch Washer and Dryer

by kacharley , Apr 03 '03
Pros: Fits in small space
Cons: Small load capacity, severely wrinkles clothes, horrible customer service.
I have been using washers and dryers for over 35 years and this is absolutely the worst combination I have ever used. They have very small capacities, you have to use a lot of Fabric Softner, and you get wrinkled clothes no matter what you do. To make...
