Soooo. I picked the Bosch up last night. My father-in-law gave me a lift. It was very heavy! It was missing the drain hose so i fitted a new one and gave it a clean up! The plumbing under our sink is really awkward. The taps are on backwards in between the sink pipes and access is really restricted. I was going to connect it via a y-piece to cold but it was too awkward and the pipes are quite thick. So i connected it hot and cold! The machine has a big scratch down the side which in time intend to spray paint. I ran a cloth over it and tried it out. The motor was abit growly at first. It is obviously noisier than the old crappoint. But its an acceptable amount:) So by the time i had cleared it out it was getting late & called it a night. In the knowledge the machine is fully functioning. Today. I got home & tried my 1st cycle! I did some darks on cotton 30 with ariel excel with higher water level option and short wash option. So the programme with higher water level acts as follows: The machine starts off a low waterlevel with slow tumbles. Then it goes to faster tumbles for about 5-10 minutes. Then it fills into the door seal and continues washing with fast tumbles and short pauses. The 3d aquaspa works really well the asymmetric paddles really throw loads of water over the load! The first spin after the wash: (A note to construction....It never rebalanced once for any of the spins throughout the programme!) I'm not sure of the speed think it was about 500 or so. The machines drains completely then goes into a steady distribution with a gradual increase in speed in one constant spin. Then one of my favourite points is as it slows down from the spin the cascade in the door seal sprays as it spins and slows down! Rinsing: The machine then filled with the cascade and each rinse has the "guarenteed rinse time" Irregardless of the fill time, the machine will rinse for the set time. The water filled into the seal for the first rinse. All rinse tumbles are a really good speed so as not to make more suds. The same spin repeats. 2nd rinse was about 3 inches up the door. in total 4 rinses applied to this wash with higher water level. Now just as i was thinkin how much i liked the machine....it slowed down from the spin filling through the cascade. then as the drum stops the machine just fills from the bottom with slow tumbles. heres what i wasn't prepared for...a SUPER high logic style final rinse! Final spin: Long steady spin up to about 800 for a few minutes. It stopped redistributed and accelerated with speed up to 1000rpm! All in all the wash took about 1hr 10. Everything is washed and rinsed perfectly!! Pics to follow! Darren | ||

Hey favorit! Thanks for the comments! I'm going to try a standard cottons without higher water level option and see what standard rinsing is like! Yes your correct about the paddles! Soft on one side and a flat one! It did tumble alot clockwise. thats the side with all the holes in the paddle! I love the machine so far! Also when you select the machine you set the programme with the selector and the dial on the right is the programme status so you turn it on and it clicks round to the part of the wash you've selected!

Hi David! I love this machine. It was worth the wait. I thought i'd never be rid of that hotpoint. This bosch has a couple of marks on it but it still looks great to me! I've just done a loads of whites without higher water level. Just the short option on cotton 40. The machine did a nice paced drum rhythm throughout the wash. then the interm spins were really fast with the cascade fills and low rinsing. However. The long fast spins and 3 long rinses managed to rinse Bold lavander powder (which the hotpoint used to leave heaps of suds and smell fairly strong) leaving just a mild fresh smell. The motor noise is fine for me! I like abit of a purr from the machine. My girlfriend even made the comment to her parents on the phone that even though it's noiser she even noticed how viberant and clean everything looked. Nice one bosch:D Darren | ||

Congrats on the Bosch. When I changed from my crappoint to the baumatic I noticed a big differance in the way my laundry looked....and even more noticable now I have my Miele. It's such a pity as Hotpoint used to make great machines....I had a 800rpm electronic years ago an it washed superbly and the programme times were quick aswell. Anyway, your Bosch will cope brilliantly with all that the new baby can throw at it! Happy washing. | ||

Hey paul! How are you gettin along with the miele. Yes it's a shame hotpoint's name has been allowed to be tarnished. I've had a few hotpoints in my time. The last one couldn't be any further away from the strong proud liberatoreque 18...forget the model, 95series & WM43. It's nice that the bosch had spun everything 1st time. & With the short option the wash can be done under an hour with superb results! Even at 30! Darren | ||

The Miele is amazing!!! Washes superbly.....I did have a wee pange of regret that I didnt get the 3922 but to be honest had loads of programmes I'd never use, and I LOVE the styling of the W1613 and plus it was cheaper!! Iam still playing about with the programmes, trying to figure out which performs better.....thats alway fun eh? lol. The large porthole and slightly inclined drum make a huge differance loading and unloading, the options buttons are a great plus too......anyway Iam detracting from your thread!!!! sorry....I have used the Bosch model you have in a rented flat I had and loved the machine......it really washed well and kept me entertained although was slightly embarrasing when my flatmate came home early and found me sitting in front of the machine washing the action!!!!

Paul
Glad you like your new miele! I too love the styling of your model! Lol ah yes. The fun situation when you get caught sat on the floor lol. My girlfriends used to it. Not so good when someone you don't want to see sees you lol. So today i've done a easy care 30 with higher water level washing some of our babies clothes ready for him arriving. The wash did mostly clockwise turns and short anti clockwise turns due to the paddle shape. Flat for aggressive curved for gentle. Then it did a high level cool down! drained to the seal then REfilled two inches higher than the last cooldown!!! Then It did the spin after the wash and were still on high level rinses! I've got a video of the susdy wash! just uploading it now! Darren | ||

soapy bubbles what temp was your suds lock on was that a 90? i have found when washing towels on 90 in miele bubbles get everywhere and then on cool down they all disappear just like magic. | ||

Yh, my experience with ariel excel gel (colour) as i only bought those, was bad! As i don't like oversudsing and my dyson was full of suds with the normal does which is i think 37 ml and it was a whole loas of coloureds! so now i only use the ariel excel gel on things like gym kits, few items etc. Gone back to using persil washing powder! | ||

Hi guys! Paul! Thanks! Yes i like the buttons too! They remind me of my Servis quartz! lol! & the door pops open when you press the door release! I love door release buttons. I think they should be as standard lol! Oh wow! Is the WFF2001 yours? I remember..*hangs head in shame* When it came to getting a new machine in 2000, my dad offered me the chance of a bosch. the then model was the wff2000 or an aeg or a zanussi IZ!! And i still *i was a teen!* wanted the hotpoint WMA66. Crazy boy. David!: I'm certain it was the high water level, because it filled high with the towels being really absorbant, that twinned with really energetic tumbling kicked the suds up! Though spraying as the machine slowed down & deep rinse and 1st interm spin cleared it all out! Carl! That puppy is so cute! Lovely breed too!!! A friend had one! Yea basic ones were more basic the brochure even tries to make you lean to the next model by stating theres no cascade "so less efficient rinsing!" Lol! I love the machine! Oh thanks carl! Yes mummy and baby are well. It's only 35 days until he's due but very few babies come on there due date! We think he'll be early. Well we hope! we don't want to be in over christmas! He's due on the 23rd December!! lol! Thanks for the comments guys! Darren | ||

Fuzzy logic sensing......
Really does work on this machine! I did a load of darks with a a thick jumper and a pair of absorbant jeans and absorted tshirts, etc with ariel excel gel, there were no insane suds this time ;) anywhoo where was i ah yes...it adjusted the rinse water instead of a low level i got from an indentical wash programme of a small load of whites to a higher that filled into the seal on every rinse! Much fun to use:D Paul: Ah i'm with you! The wfb models! 3dials 3 buttons n a door handle? Darren | ||
