  • I bought a similar spec Bosch washing machine from John Lewis ten years ago for £440 and it is has had no problems. Excellent brand.
  • That's a good price, ours is showing signs of old age but I can't justify replacing it now....what's the betting it now fails in three weeks time!

    just checked the Which review and overall a good machine.....the bad points are

    1200 rpm spin speed is not variable - so can't be reduced for delicate items (I personally would look for a 1400 or 1600 spin speed as it saves on drying time (both natural and tumble drying). Also states it has a noisy spin

    Which also states that it's not the easiest machine to load and unload, as the door doesn't open as wide as some.

    However, from personsal experience Bosch is a reliable make and those bad points aren't too bad IMHO especially at this price.

    The product instructions say it has variable spin speed and has a large 30cm door which opens to 140 degrees.Not sure if you are looking at a diff machine.

  • Good to see Germany has still got a manufacturing industry for white goods, unlike the UK that has comparable wages.
