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

.... As I had owned several Bosch tools and found them incredibly reliable and of good quality, I suggested we go this time for a Bosch and having owned this machine now for around 6 months, it was certainly no mistake. We purchased the Bosch ClassiXX6 1200. We got our machine from Comet, who delivered it the following day and took away our old Hoover at no extra cost. Quiet and Powerful I was amazed at the quietness of the machine as it went through its cycle (Noise level washing (dB): 59, noise level spinning (dB): 79). With our old Hoover machine, I had often had to increase the volume of the TV when the thing went into its spin cycle. Enough said! But this Bosch brought a smile to my face as my wife said to me, ?it?s spinning, can you hear it?? I could barely discern a faint noise as I listened carefully. I couldn?t resist but go...

Review of Bosch WAE 24468

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....

Disappointing Bosch

Advantages: Large cutting capacity
Disadvantages: Noise, Noise & More Noise

...Just bought as a replacement for a 12 year old Wolf mower whose motor died. Have a few Bosch products which are all satisfactory and had read a couple of positive reviews for this model. What I like is the wide cutting width, 6cm bigger, and the large (50 lt) grass box - a bit less walking . Alo the switch, being across the full width of the handle makes it easy to control. What I'm not sure about are the combs, bit gimicky probably, and the suction. My old mower vacuumed the grass, the blade was designed as a propellor, the Bosch removes the cut grass but not all the leaves, etc, that fall. What I don't like is the noise (much, much louder), there's no indication when the grass box is full, and the quality of construction - the plastic feels flimsy, not sure it will last the 12 years of the old. Would I buy it...

Review of Bosch Rotak 40

BOSCH CLASSIXX DISHWASHER SGS45CO2GB

Advantages: Outstanding cleaning leaving dishes sparkling
Disadvantages: None

...This is a fantastic dishwasher. I have owned 2 dishwashers previously made by different manufactures and neither could compare to this one. It leaves the dishes spotless every time and I never have to use the rinse facility.I only use the dishwasher, on average, on alternate days,so the food has had time to dry on well!! I have never used any program except the energy saving program and find that it cleans so well that I have never tried any other. One slight downside is the lenght of time the program takes, but this is probably the same with all modern dishwashers. Bosch have and above average reliability rating in any survey conducted so I look forward too many years of trouble free use from this machine....

Review of Bosch SGS45C02GB

Bisch Basch Bosch

Advantages: developms key motor and problem solving skills
Disadvantages: Possible use for launching missiles

...gravitated towards the pink dressing table with vanity mirror and matching hair dryer (he still hasn't gotten over me letting Kyle have two painted toenails!). Instead we opted for the Bosch Workbench my friend had recommended to me some time ago. ***Age Range*** This is advertised as for 3-6 year olds however, we bought it for our active 2 1/2 year old feeling it didn't pose a danger to him - to the house maybe but not to him! ***Is it affordable*** £45.00 which includes a tool set worth £20 which I think is absolutely amazing value for money. ***Availability*** We got ours from the Early Learning Centre but you can get them also from Toys-r-us and direct from the Bosch website. ***Storage*** Granted, this isn't the smallest of toys and it will take up some room. (roughly 100cm tall and 70cm wide) It was a struggle to squeeze it...

Review of Bosch Children's Workbench

A great wash with BOSCH

Advantages: Drum size, selection of programs,
Disadvantages: Cost

...not recommended, if fact we were advised to stay well away. We were then told about the 'Bosch WAS' range; 24466 (1200 speed) 28466 (1400 speed) 32466 (1600 speed) ~~~What we chose~~~ We were keen to go for the WAS28466 (1400 speed) we checked out prices and went to our local showroom who were selling it for £485. We had seen it online for £445. We said we were interested and asked what their best price was; they said they could do £459 with delivery and collection of old one. (As we have a van we didn't need this option) and told him that we had found it for £445, to which he grudgingly agreed. He ordered direct from Bosch and was told to allow 3 working days, this was on the Friday. The following Tuesday I received a call to say it was in. Great Honest Service! ~~~Installing~~~ After...

Review of Bosch WAS 32466

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

Spend Your Dosh on a Brilliant Bosch (sorry)

Advantages: Condensor - no need to vent, sensor dryer, anti-crease
Disadvantages: expensive

...ridiculous price for a Tumble Dryer when you can pay a £100 quid but if you can afford the extra it will save you loads of time and effort so it is probably worth it in the long run. It might save you paying someone to do your ironing if you are household full of full-time working people and you don't have much time. Not sure I can really justify to you why I think I want to spend three times more than the basic price for a dryer, but I do. Better make sure my husband doesn't read this.. Of course my SIL's is brand new, so we can't comment on reliability. Bosch are usually brilliant though, so here's hoping. It would be great if another reviewer who'd had one for a few years could comment....

Review of Bosch WTE84103GB

Bosch those shelves onto that wall with ease

Advantages: Easy to use, several 'power' options for various 'jobs' and good battery time
Disadvantages: none for the price.

...I am the proud owner of several DIY tools, from your basic claw hammer to an industrial circular saw, (which, when I use it, still manages to scare the hell out of me sometimes). Anyway, the biggest boon in the Do It Yourself world has got to be the cordless/ battery powered power tool collection, such as saws, sanders, planes and especially the good old cordless power drill, with a vast range of power options. I do own a few of these type of drills, even a JML Dual Drill, which is a true genius in itself, and a few others of different power ratings, including the rather fine Bosch PSB 18VE2, which this review is going to be about. It claims to be the ultimate cordless combi drill which will bore through materials such as wood, masonry and even steel, (of course this depends on the actual drill bit), whilst still be capable...
