8KG - not 9, as mentioned. Everything is the same mind you :) |

I agree with what several have said of Bosch making long lasting appliances. I shall share some of my experiences.
We too have a Bosch dishwasher, a full size model from 2001. It has worked brilliantly through the years, and still works today, and apart from one blockage and the delay timer button falling off, there have been no problems, considering it can be used up to twice a day. It's still efficient at removing tough stains, even on an Economy wash. We also have a Bosch fridge freezer, a very tall 50/50 split model, purchased in 1996/1997, which too, has been working flawlessly since new. However, the freezer is more like an iceberg than a freezer, and so therefore we have removed the draws and only keep things we need or use regularly in there, as we have a tall larder freezer where most of the food is stored. Apart from that, it has been working flawlessly. Previously in the garage we had a small Candy fridge freezer from around 1986 which had a small freezer compartment, and a large fridge compartment. We passed that on to my nan about three years ago when we were given the tall freezer from my other gran. We also have a Bosch WFO2865GB/01 Washing Machine from 2002, and has been one of the most hard working appliances that has been in this house. It has been washing a family of four's washing for over 12 years now, doing around 5-6 loads a week. It has had to be repaired three times as far as I'm aware, a new door seal, a new motor and a new flap that lowers down to reveal the filter. It does a cottons 60 wash in around 1.30, and although I would prefer it if it used a little extra water sometimes, clothes still come out looking really good, even if we're using an own brand detergent like Sainsbury's Bio or Almat from Aldi, which is a really good buy. We also have a Bosch Integrated Oven, hob and extractor hood from 2004 when we had a new kitchen fitted. They are excellent, as they really get hammered from time to time, we do a lot of cooking and baking and although they are starting to look a bit worse for wear, they are still brilliant appliances. Bosch appliances are predominant amongst our lives. Four out of my six uncles have Bosch/Siemens washing machines, my Nan has one, my best friend has one - the one Chris recommended, and so far has been very good, both neighbours of ours on either side have Bosch washing machines, and all have positive things to say about them. Many family member's have Bosch dishwasher's, Bosch fridge freezers & Neff ovens etc. All have been very reliable, even though some are 20+ years old. I would definately recommend to get Bosch appliances for your new place, not just a Bosch washing machine but take a look at their refridgeration range, and even small appliances they do such as kettles & irons. We have a Bosch iron that we're very pleased with. It is worth paying a little extra for them. It's worth it in the long term. |
