    Love it
    This washing machine is easy to use and washes the clothes well. I haven't had a front loader before but I love it. Apart from when my kitty wants to continually jump in and check it out. It's a great machine and I would recommend it to others

    Cleans Up! WAU28490AU
    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Cannot recommend the 10kg Series 6 highly enough! Very easy to use and operator friendly machine that looks nice and performs faultlessly. Easy to interrupt the washing process after it has started when you want to add one more item. Now three years old, still looks new and never had an issue at all. Love it.

    Was good, but failed after 2 years
    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Worked quite well for a couple of years, and failed just out of warranty, with a drum that no longer turns, so cycles simply don't work. I was expecting a Bosch to last longer than my last, far cheaper non-Bosch washer, which worked for 10 years.

    Questions & answers

    Does this machine have a soak option? 1gumnut · 2021-01-08
    Hi there, Thank you for your question. All programmes have been listed on page 47 of the user manual above. Kind regards, Appliances Online Bronte, Appliances Online
    I've got a Bosch dryer. Can it site directly on top of this washing machine? LBurns76 · 2020-12-07
    Hi there, Thank you for your question. To safely stack a dryer on top of a washing machine, the dryer needs to be the same width and depth or smaller as the washing machine. A stacking mat or brand specific stacking kit is also required. Kind Regards, Appliances Online Milly, Appliances Online
    Hi Can you tell me if this Bosch machine is stackable with Bosch condenser dryers? My Bosch dryer is about 7 years old. Kellie · 2020-08-18

    I have read mixed reviews on this machine about drum size and its ability to wash things like doonas effectively. Do you have any insight. I am looking to replace my Siemens 16S which has stopped working after 5 years of use. Greg · 2020-07-14
    Hi, this 10kg washer should be able to easily handle a standard king size duvet. PatrickF, Appliances Online
