    Hi there.
    I understand that Bosch & Siemens washers are basically the same, can you please confirm that this is so.
    Are the spares reasonably priced and obtainable.
    Thanks in advance to anyone replying

    Ahh, no! 😛

    If you buy a cheap Bosch…

    …you’ll get a piece of crud with a BSH sticker on it 😕 However, if you are buying the (very) expensive Bosch, then they are similar to the Siemens, but don’t come with 5/10 year guarantees, like the Siemens do 🙄

    Swings + roundabouts?

    Thanks GB.
    I think I’ll opt for a Siemens WXL147 @ £436 incl. delivery with the 5 year Parts & labour guarantee.
    My wife fancies an IQ model with the 10 year guarantee – much dearer of course!
    Do you have any thoughts on the IQ?
    Cheers

    Only been to two or three WIQ’s since they came out.

    Everyone has been user error rather than fault with m/c. Ten year guarantee says it all.

    I’ve just got a WXLM148 and have to say it is superb, well worth paying a little extra for. Its cut the washing time down significantly and takes less drying as well – you wont be disappointed!
