Washing Machines > Bosch Washing Machines

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

...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 ...
...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 ... Read review

Advantages: Does a good wash and has a quiet spin
Disadvantages: Wash cycles take a bit longer

Really pleased with this machine recommend by my mum. Washes really well and is quite quiet when spinning compared to most other machines I have heard. What I love best is that I the larger barrel allows me to wash more clothes in each cycle so I have now reduced my weekly washing down by 1 load! It is also very simple to use: just turn the knob to the desired wash and press the on off button. The only thing I would say is my 18 month old can use ... Read review

Advantages: simple to use and efficient
Disadvantages: none yet

...This left me with two Hotpoint 1400 spin machines to decide between. The Aquarius was £20 less than the Ultima, but the Ultima had been reduced by £100. The features looked more or less the same, except the Ultima had a digital display panel. Hmm, would that prove to be just another thing to go wrong? I liked the look of the Ultima as it was an unusual and fetching grey colour - "graphite" to be precise! That should hide the chocolate-spread fingerprints ...
...owner of my very own Hotpoint Ultima WT640G. The G is for graphite. It comes in white too, if you lack dirty-fingered individuals in your home! I paid £299.95 as it was reduced from £399.95 and got this 7Kg drum 1400 spin washer boasting a 30 minute fast wash. For your information the larger drum size means that the 1400 spin is working out to be significantly more effective than the 1500 spin in my previous 6Kg drum machine. There is a time delay ...

Advantages: Half load facility, Delay Timer
Disadvantages: No handwash setting

On the whole a very easy to use machine, especially regarding program selection, and it also comes with a clear digital display. The machine remembers your last wash setting, so it is easy to start the next one. It gives a beep when the cycle has finished, although it does not switch off (i.e. the display panel is still on). However, it is an exceptionally quiet machine. Regarding wash performance, a 40 degree wash only takes around an hour and ...
...gives you a lot dryer clothes than other machines. It has a large 8 kg wash capacity which is great for family wash! But at the same time the half load facility enables you to reduce wash load and washing time - fantastic if you live on your own! There is also a Delay Timer and a Time Remaining indicator, as well as a child lock option. All in all, a pretty good machine if you can get it for around £300. ... Read review
