"Easy to use and appears to wash well. Nice and quiet. The only thing I don’t like is the black door and the amount this sticks out into the room, but as it is in a utility room it isn’t a problem."

"Pros
Weighs the wash load and uses the correct amount of water needed for that wash saving water and energy.
Easy to use programme cycles with clear white on black background, bright digital display.
Has a detergent compartment component that allows you to use liquid detergent in the drawer, if desired. So it holds the liquid detergent in place until the wash starts. Of course you can use powder detergent or capsules also.
Built in delay timer for up to 24-hours.
Large drum does manage large wash loads well.
Mega, super quiet spin cycle! So quiet that I don’t hear it in an open living space on a 1400 spin.
Quick wash function - choose your wash and then click ‘quick wash’ and reduce the cycle between 30-60 mins saving on energy. The drum turns more frequently in a quick wash which achieves the same good wash results in much less time.
‘A’ rated energy under the new system meaning it will save on electricity compared to a C or D rated models. Really important especially if you only have an electricity only and no gas like me in a flat.
‘Drum self clean’ cycle to keep the machine clean every few months.
Bosch reliability and quality I have come to trust in.
Cons
Much heavier that usual which may be to stabilise the machine when spinning to reduce sound.
It’s a deeper machine measuring 60cm deep compared to my old Bosch which was 58cm. This depth makes a difference. I have waste pipes behind the machine and even under a 60cm work top, the machine stuck out from under the work top by 3cm. I had to change the position and move the machine to where the dishwasher was with no waste pipes so it would fit. Please do make sure your machine will fit. It’s not a good look or practical if it pokes out 2-4 cm from under the work top. For this reason it caused me so much hassle to try and get it to fit as it is a deeper machine and still pokes out by 1 cm. I don’t have a big kitchen so this does make a difference.
Overall, it’s a really good purchase and has done a few washes now with great results. I have no regrets and very happy it’s an ‘A’ energy rated machine.
Recommend this? Yes I do.

"Great washer, 30 min cycle cleans almost everything. Looks nice too."
"Brilliant machine- not happy at parting with £580 but now I've used it I can confirm it is worth every penny.
It says that it is quiet, again very happy to say it is super quiet."
