We got this washer in 98' to replace our old Bendix washer. first thing i noticed about the new machine was how little water it used in comparrison to the old washer. I just didnt look as if the clothes where getting a proper wash, but luckily wasnt the case, well no enierly anyway!.
I found to get a half decent wash out of that machine you had to use a long wash, 2hours+ plus in that machine. it lasted "wellish'" shall we say, as it broke down after the first year as it was programmed incorrectly during manufacturing.
After this we continued to use it for another 2 years when the belt snapped, got the replaced. then it started leaking beacause the emergency drain hose underneath the machie had cinked and any water that went into the machine would run straight out of it.
We decided to get rid in 05' when the pump went as we spent in exess of £200 worth of repairs on it, so it would just be more cost economical.
so in general i wasnt to pleased, i'd say Bosch should allow their machines to use a bit more water, as washing full 6kg loads was a nightmare for it, was pointless doing it.
