Bosch WFL 2872

As far as washing machines go this is quite a good one. The bosch WFL2872 is easy to use, not very noisey and good at getting your stains out.
The control panel is very easy and all options are labelled well and easily readable. It has your normal options like 30,40,60 cottens and linen washes and 60 intensive stain wash. It has a spin speed selector from 600 - 1400 which you change with the diffrent fabrics that you wash.
Additional options like quick wash and a rinse plus option which gives the clothes an extra rinse.
It has a load adjust function which matches the water and power consumption therefore reducing the amount used which is very eco-friendly and good on the bills.
The tray to load the washing powder and softner is of a decent size so you wont spill it all on the floor.The bosch is easy to maintain as it does most the work for you but if you clean the washing powder tray every now and again and, if your in a hard water area, use a descaler then your washing machine should be fine for a long time.
I have had one for sinse we moved house, so about 6 months and i have had no problems, the only niggle i have is that when the wash has finished there is a alarm which goes off to tell you it has finished which is really annoying, you have to go turn it off to make it stop. If they had put an option to turn the alarm off then this would have been a perfect machine.
For me this is a 4.5 / 5 machine and for £299 i think it was money well spent.
