NEW WASHING MACHINE.

Re: NEW WASHING MACHINE.

Hi

In a two horse race I’d pick the Bosch everytime. Much better engineered and a two year warranty to boot.

HTH 🙂

Re: NEW WASHING MACHINE.

Just thought I’d add my two pennys worth to this as I bought the Bosch Exxcel8 a year ago and think it’s the bees knees, I absolutely love it 😀 Think I sometimes go overboard researching things like this but it was well worth the effort 😉 .

The instructions you get with it aren’t great (pants really) but play around with the buttons for half an hour and you soon twig – it’s not rocket science 🙂 I’d write a simpler user instruction but I wouldn’t know where/how to post it on the internet.

It’s certainly sufficient for a family of 4; and has certainly more than halved the number of washes I do in a week. My previous machines was a washer/dryer so because of the smaller drum, I was washing virtually every day.

I wouldn’t bother looking for a higher spin than 1400 because it just leaves clothes/bedding sooo creased up it’s that much harder to iron – believe me, I’ve learn’t the hard way. Fortunately you can reduce the spin cycle to whatever you want it.

I also like the option of being able to stop it to pop in the elusive item that managed to escape the basket; surprisingly it does have many useful settings for wash cycles. It even beeps intermittently at the end of a cycle for a time so you don’t forget about it.

No build-up of soap powder/scum underneath the draw (as with previous) and no nooks or cranny’s for mould/mildew to build up in there either – so easy to clean. Well worth the money spent. 😀
