Anyone got a Bosch WAQ283S1GB Washing Machine?

Thinking of getting one of these and would welcome any comments.


I've read some reviews complaining that there's no separate 'spin only' option and others saying that there is - you just need to turn the dial to 'Rinse/Spin', then press the 'Aqua Plus' button to deselect the rinse part. Can anyone confirm that?


Also some people say that water is left in the powder tray after the machine runs it's tray cleaning program. Any thoughts?


Thanks.

I have this one. There's no specific "spin only" option on the dial. We had no idea how to do just a spin as there were no instructions in the manual. It was like this for 3-4 months until I read the reviews on Amazon where I discovered the answer. As you've pointed out, when you turn the dial to rinse/spin, the "Aqua Plus" button lights up. Press it to deselect the option.

We've had the washing machine for 18 months. For the first 12, it was great. It's now starting to rattle more when spinning at high speed, particularly if fully loaded.

Never had issues with powder in the tray.

Thanks. Well, your machine must still be in warranty? Isn't this machine supposed to have special dampening to keep it quiet? Maybe you need to call the man out.
