MAXX EFFICIENCY

Advantages: Efficient,well made .reputation for reliability
Disadvantages: not cheap

...Well after 2.5 years and many breakdowns i have finally given up on my hoover washing machine and taken delivery of a bosch maxx 1100 spin washing machine. The machine cost me £420 from a local supplier,it is available for only £343 was the cheapest price i found via www.pricerunner.com.I decided to purchase it from a local shop due to their excellent customer service free delivery and they take away the old machine too. The bosch maxx so called i believe due to the fact that it takes a 6kg load rather than the industry average of 5kg. As you probably know for a while now all electrical appliances are rated for their energy efficiency from A-E A being the most efficient and E being the most wasteful.Well the bosch maxx scores A on both energy efficiency and uses very little water per load. The wash programmes are very simple...

Review of Bosch Maxx

Maxx it up

Advantages: reliability and ease of use
Disadvantages: none - maybe it should iron the clothes too!

...without causing me any bother. (the only bother I can cope with it the odd sock in with the white load!). In our many conversations Service Man had commented on Bosch. Never have to fix them he said. So Bosch were looking like favourites. Another ?want? was that the clothes must be spun dry (or dry enough for them to be tumble dried at a minimum), so a high spin speed was required. The only ?want? Mr F had was that I didn?t bleed him dry when it came to the price!! After hours of umming and arrrring at Curry?s (and a few no I DON?T need any help THANK YOU), we decided on the Bosch Maxx. It?s sleek white lines and easy to use dials and buttons (no Star Trek Enterprise Bridge here thank you very much), and bigger drum, high spin speed and price £390.00, had us sold. When it arrived (and I had delivered the old knacker into the arms...

Not a Bosch Job

Advantages: larger load, easy to use
Disadvantages: not cheap, large door might cause space problems

...Last month my Zanussi washing machine broke down. The warranty had run out so I had to get a new machine. I didn’t really know what I wanted, but having 2 kids, I knew I needed something reliable. I checked my Which magazine and the report dated May 2001 recommended the Bosch Maxx WFL2450GB, the AEG OKO 72630 and the Samsung Sensor Quick Fuzzy SWFP1005. As the Bosch was rated the best for reliability I decided to make further enquiries about it. I checked a few electrical websites and Currys were offering the best price at £398.95. So I went to Currys to see the machine in the flesh before I made my mind up. I found the model I wanted straight away. It didn’t stand out particularly and the controls looked very basic. One for setting the programmes, one for setting the spin speed/rinse hold and four buttons. A Start...

Review of Bosch Maxx

Maxx enjoyment

Advantages: capacity, wash quality
Disadvantages: Time on some cycles

...The Unique Selling Point of the Bosch Maxx models is their 6 kilo capacity. Most machines can take only about 5 kilos. The difference is stunning - instead of doing say 3 washes you can get away with 2. The program settings are also very versatile - it seems to have an option for every eventuality. It is also a very quiet machine, even in its extremely vigorous 1200 rpm spin cycle. We have only had it for a few months, but according to all the published research, Bosch are one of the most reliable washing machine manufacturers, so hopefully we won't have ant reliability problems either. The clothes all seem to come out pretty clean, particularly from the "intensive stain" cycle - the drawback of this is that it takes an eternity. Anyone considering buying one should be aware that a machine called the Titan is about to be launched...

Splish splosh, its a Bosch

Advantages: Low noise
Disadvantages: Cutlery compartment is a bit inflexible and bendy

...Introduction Personally, the invention of the dishwasher has been one of the greatest inventions of recent times. As both myself and my wife work, we need to maximize the quality time we get together. What better way to accomplish this than to shove all the pots and pans into a dishwasher, forget about it for a couple of hours and then put them all away when dry. For some reason we seem to have got through dishwashers like there was no tomorrow (the handle broke on one and the motor went kaput on the second) so when we chose our current dishwasher, we studied reviews on reliability as well as performance and the Bosch came out on top. Tour of the Dishwasher Outside The dishwasher has a white metal door, with a white plastic control panel. On the control panel are the power button, the programme dial and 3...

Review of Bosch SGV46M03GB

Our New Washing Machine: It's a Bosch.

Advantages: Quiet and efficient. Good bulid quality
Disadvantages: None so far

...After 25 years of service, our old Hoover Washer/Dryer finally give up on us and true to washing machine tradition, it couldn?t have packed up at a worse time, a week after we moved house and needed it most. Hoover had not long gone into liquidation and after just having a bad experience with our new Hoover vacuum cleaner (see my other review), we did not want to risk laying out several hundred pounds on another Hoover make. So we had a bit of a tough decision to make. Do we go for another washer-dryer or just a washer on it's own that had fewer moving parts to go wrong. Our new home, has a conservatory that is south facing, so it becomes really warm with the slightest amount of sun. So I reckoned we had the ideal place of drying clothes in the winter when it is too cold and damp to put them outside. Now it was down to the make...

Simple Sophisticated and quiet

Advantages: speed and quietness
Disadvantages: a little more expensive

...came with the customary free samples of powder and conditioner. But also it came with a comprehensive guide. We have a new baby and we really had to get a washing machine that weas easily and quickly installed, easy to learn to use and washed really well and quickly. The Bosch Maxx lives up to all those expectations. I hope it also lives up to the expectation of longevity....

Bosch WTE84308GB Exxcel: An efficient household addition

Advantages: Condensing, several programmes, low creasing levels
Disadvantages: None really

...is easy to remove the fluff collection * The time remaining is useful to know * A small load takes less time than a large load, and you see that on the time remaining display after it has started, so the sensor works! * I haven' tried it, but I think a single duvet would fit in it with room to dry Cons: * Bed sheets do crease quite a lot, but I don't class this as a fault with this machine, rather an expectation if you are going to put big bulky items in the dryer I am not listing all of the specifications as they can be found on the Bosch website, but I refer to the performance of the features that I use above. If I don't mention it, I don't use it. I cannot comment on whether it truly is Energy Efficiency rating B as we can't test that....

Maxx-imum Value

Advantages: Bargains aplenty, heavily turned-around stock.
Disadvantages: Organised chaos !!

...T.K.Maxx is a subsiduary company of a huge U.S firm called T.J.X, Inc which has 1,300 stores across the whole of North America making it one of the Worlds largest discount retailers. The first T.K.Maxx was introduced to the U.K in 1994 as part of an expansion plan in Europe but the venture was very slow in taking off. However slow as it was, the off-price policy that T.K offers has begun to take off in recent times and there are now 123 stores in the U.K with two more in Holland. T.J.X envisages there being 170 stores in the U.K within three years all making a profit which would mean that nearly every large town and city would have one, so if theres not one near you now, there soon will be ! T.K Maxx's off-price policy basically means that they sell top name brands at discount prices and the reason why they are cornering the niche in...

Review of TK Maxx (Shop)

Discounted to the Maxx

Advantages: Great quality brand names at great discounted prices
Disadvantages: Can be a bit like a jumble sale

...So every city must have their own TK Maxx? A leading dealer in discount designer wear, TK Maxx plays out as jumble sale meets department store. There are ladies wear, mens wear, childrens wear, foot wear, bag wear, kids play, and housewares. They offer genuine designer and high street brands at genuine discounted prices. I recently bought a pair of pierre cardin jeans with an rrp of £59.99 for £14. And there was no damage or any other reason for getting them cheaper. They also have a great housewares section if you're looking to buy bits and bobs for the house. You can get pots and pans, paintings, photo frames, lamps and modern ornaments to jot all over your place. Effectively its John Lewis at bargain basements prices (without the dull department store music and irritating shop assistants). And thats another perk. You dont...
