I had a very similar one to that only a bit more basic. I loooved it! Great for just doing your socks and undies in steaming hot water while your other clothes wash in the automatic. Did a brilliant job! I'm considering getting another one as now some of them have pumps and the ability to run water into the spin tub while spinning for rinsing.
I made a video of mine when I had it. ill embed it below. Matt | ||

I have the nearly-identical Panda version, highly satisfied. The wash disc does tend to knot large objects like sheets. I agitate intermittently during long (30-50min) soaks.
Would rather the 'wash mode' knob had two speeds as it implies. It doesn't. The 'gentle' has a shorter duty cycle at the same speed, "generous". It does abrade dense items like jeans. Hence the intermittent/soak operation. These small inexpensive machines have much the same utility as the much-larger Easy Spindrier. Despite the instructions implying otherwise, both tubs can be used independently at the same time. Most things that fail in 'modren' (sic) automatics-- computer, valves, suspension, transmission-- do not exist so they tend to be trouble free. 'Some' parts and service notes are available from the original sellers if they choose to do so (from extensive reading of user reviews on Amazon). Do NOT use water above 120F with these plastic machines. Excess heat can cause leaks or outright failure. The plumbing is glued PVC. The spinner in these are the bomb. Direct drive, not even a belt, and towels come out after 3 minutes dry enough to use. | ||

I had That machine, it was crap. Broken from the minute it came out the box and everything on it felt cheap. | ||

Well I am currently doing a rinse and spin in it and all seems fine, but my partner tells me it was making a horendous noise when he had it on the easy care programme and the display was flashing no. | ||

If the display was flashing "No" then wouldn't it have been paused accidentally? only saying that because we know a few people who have a similar machine and if the start reload button is pressed then the machine will flash "No" and then "Yes" to signal that the door is unlocked/locked. Hmm :/ Tom | ||

Hmm, disappointing for Bosch, but probably just bad luck. Bosch make quality, well made reliable products, and their washers score second to Miele on dependability according to Which? magazine.
I have just got a Serie 6 washer which looks similar to this, only with a larger digital display and a new design knob lol. It has the same imprints on the side of the washer which apparently reduce vibration, but at the very least they add strength to the body. I am well pleased with mine. I had to have a Bosch engineer out recently as my drum was banging and crashing around the kitchen (nearly) which turned out to be transit tab like things, the bolts go into. Some thin plastic whatever you call them was causing the problems, but I must say he was very polite and more importantly was an actual Bosch engineer, not a third party contractor. Hopefully yours gets sorted out okay. How did it go kaput? Just stopped working? Any error messages or smoke? | ||
