A friend of mine is interested in purchasing the Bosch front load washer and dryer set. Any thoughts on the Bosch or a better product? |

Bob - I cannot claim any direct connections to the Bosch machines, most of my clients have LG or Whirlpool f/l sets. I have the lower-end Duet washer & matching gas dryer and love them, 2 1/2 years with no trouble of any kind. For the money, I think the WP is probably the best deal and if your friend can play Lowes and NFM against one another, a super good deal can be had. I paid less than $1200 for both with pedestals/drawer units. A neighbor just bought a WP Duet Sport washer a few months ago and is thrilled with it. Whirlpool has an established, trained service network and parts are plentiful for their units. You can bring your friends over and do a "trial load" in the Duet, but they'll probably end up wanting a 1957 Unimatic ;-) |

I know it's not related to Bosch, but AVOID GE! My mother just got a matched GE front loader set. I think her logic was that it looked pretty. The dryer does a respectable job in about half an hour for most loads. The washer, however, takes over an hour! Words cannot express my hatred of this washer. I wish she had just gotten the dryer and kept the 1994 Kenmore DD she replaced. I think that the Kenmore and Whirlpool DD washers are just about the best value on the market today. Just my 2 cents, Dave |
