Quiet and efficient machine. Likes - a) Higher spin than previous Bosch machine = less time in dryer b) i-Dos = less time loading liquids c) Remote control function using app = Kids can load machine and parents select the right programme Dislike - a) Missing Drum Clean programme - only available through the mobile app

Upgraded from another Bosch that didn’t have all the tech. Loving the Serie 8 with I-Dos and home connect so far. Just chuck your washing in and shit the door select a programme and everything is done for you and you can monitor how it’s doing through an app on your phone quite amazing what power we have at our fingertips. Recommended.

Amazing washing machine. It's so quiet that you don't actually know it's on until the final bleep telling you it's finished. I-dos very easy to use but does not like gel washing liquid however you can use this in the bypass compartment. Great washing programmes and quick 30 minute programme if you're in a rush. Easy to use the app.

This is a good product from Bosch that is respectably quiet and very easy to use and understand. People complain that you cannot do a quick 10 kg wash, and yes when its set to cottons, it states 3hr,39min but that will adjust after assessing the load, alternatively you can press speed perfect and the time will reduce down to 1hr 30 mins, but the machine will advise if you want a spotless wash, reduce the load to 5kg (but this is not set in stone) and it will not hurt the machine to keep the full 10kg load in the machine and wash on this setting. (for the most part, if you don't slop around in a mudpit all day long, this setting will wash 10kg perfectly) It has lots of features and downloadable programs, and is constantly evolving with updates OTA (We've had 5 already) Granted a lot of programs request lower load levels, but this is guidance to get the best results, and not a given. (it comes down to using common sense) and if you apply Common sense, then this machine will serve you very well for many years.

Yeah I agree it’s super quiet, futuristic with loads of setting but the wash times are massively long. Almost 4 hour to do a normal wash. We put a hoodie in, found a 2 hour (ish) wash setting which returned us a not clean item and it was still soaking wet. Run it through the spin/drain setting and it still came out heavy with water. Maybe we still need to dig around in the settings, but for now not overly impressed.

This machine is super quiet, looks great and can be controlled from your phone. I put a load in before work, and set the wash off on my way home - no more damp washing left in the machine for several hours. The pre dosage option is such a great idea and will help save money and protect clothing. I believe you can’t go wrong with Bosch - I have been so impressed with this washing machine that l have since purchased the Bosch Series 8 dryer.

Excellent product as you would expect from Bosch, the old adage of you get what you pay for rings true.Super quite and the I-Dos system is a breeze to use.The connected services is of limited use but enables you to check what stage the wash cycle is at plus you can remote start and set a timed start as well.

It takes 3hrs and 37 mins to do a 10kg wash. There are only 2 cycles on the machine that take 10kgs loads - eco 40-60 or Cotton both take 3hrs36 mins or 3hr50 mins. All other cycles take considerably less load (reducing down to a 2kg Sports wash). The time can't be reduced on either of the 10kg cycles. It's nearly useless as a large family as we need to do multiple washes a day. I could not be more disappointed.
