    Just to end any uncertainty 😉 A new Bosch machine installed this afternoon.

    Sealed tub.

    Another ‘improvement’ :rolls: 😯

    No user accessible pump filter. 😥

    The drain pump is attached to the drum and does appear to have a small inspection cover underneath.

    I’m convinced these must be made by someone else. Does anyone know ?

    …oh , and after stating in another , earlier thread that i didn’t know of any Bosch models having a sealed tub , i then went to look at one 2 days later !! Another WAA model where the drum paddle had fallen off…luckily the just clip in

    What a horrible looking machine and sure to drag the Bosch brand name down even further. Do they expect the customer to empty that filter 😥
    Still at least the pump is not sealed to the drum 😆

    That does indeed look like a cheap & nasty piece of junk. Well, thats it then, the sealed drum is here to stay, bearing changes will slowly become a thing of the past, a sock or pair of knickers will be responsible for writing off countless thousands of machines in the future.. and the manufacturers will love it no doubt :rolls: Shouldnt be allowed IMO. 😥

    Nasty yes, cheap no!…this heap of poo sells for £430. 😯

    The drum paddles do come off to access errant socks and bra wires but the drum is not available as a replacement! 😕

    Since I heard about the welded drums I have been recommending Bosch but I won’t know what to do now. There is obviously the ISE but I don’t really want to get into selling new machines and nobody else round here sells them. 😕

    Don`t know where you got that price from Martin? It`s their entry level machine, the stub door handle gives it away 😉 . Typical retailer price if you buy in bulk £219.00, internet price circa £290.00

    Can confirm that it was sold by my friendly local indy for around the £300 mark. 🙂

    I fancy it`s a bit of clever marketing that Martin 😉 Increase the price for 28 days in the last six months to satisfy trading standards and drop the price down to what it should be ie circa £320.00 show a whopping saving of £110.00 and loads of punters will have a pop at it thinking it`s the bargain of the year.

    Trade price to us Indies is £219.00 at the mo.

    @ martin

    if you look at the comet machine it has a filter flap so is a slightly different machine

    although over £100 to be able to clean a filter does sound a bit much 😆

    Crafty so and so’s eh? I’ve since goooogled up that model number and ’tis a lot cheaper for sure.

    Thank’s for the tip about spotting the stub door handle. I’ll advise my customers to avoid those in future. 😉
