Advantages: really simple to use, with all the functions you need Disadvantages: slightly smaller load size than other models

It's really simple to get to know the programs, (all the standard ones are there common to all washers) and it's easy to use - turn the dial one way to select a synthetics program and wash temp, or the other way to select a cottons program. Other programs are located ... ...to water temp varying). The Bosch does have a series of lights that indicate which bit of the program it is on though.
Compared to our other washer, it is incredibly quiet in operation -even on fast spin - so quiet in fact that when we first had it I had to keep checking it was still working!! We have the 1000 spin model, and although our old washer was a 1200 spin - the clothes don't feel any wetter at the end of the wash.

I thought I would really miss my old washing machine. When it finally died (at just 3 years old!), we replaced it with this Bosch model, after reading many reviews on the web, and on the recommendation of our local electrical shop man! And I have to say it has been fab!
It's really simple to get to know the programs, (all the standard ones are there common to all washers) and it's easy to use - turn the dial one way to select a synthetics program and wash temp, or the other way to select a cottons program. Other programs are located at the bottom of the dial.
The instructions ar clear, easy to understand, and helpful.
The door opens all the way back so it's easy to load/unload.
Although it is simple, and not overloaded with functions that you will never use, it has all the things you would want, eg delicate wash, rinse hold, wash boost button etc. It has an 'extra' rinse button - useful if you have anyone in your family with sensitive skin. There is a rinse/freshen up program, and you can vary the spin speed.
The only thing I have missed that my old washer had is a countdown timer (although it wasn't always accurate due to water temp varying). The Bosch does have a series of lights that indicate which bit of the program it is on though.
Compared to our other washer, it is incredibly quiet in operation -even on fast spin - so quiet in fact that when we first had it I had to keep checking it was still working!! We have the 1000 spin model, and although our old washer was a 1200 spin - the clothes don't feel any wetter at the end of the wash.
I would definately recommend this to you if you are looking for a new washer. And hopefully it will last longer than the indesit!
Good Value Product
