    Flawless performance
    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After 12 months' use, our Series 8 washer from Bosch has not missed a beat. We are a family of five and run the washer up to three times a day. The build feels robust and the control buttons make it a snap to select water temperature and spin speed. Having an 8kg capacity, the reverberations of the Series 8 can be felt throughout the house when on its initial spin cycle but we've found it has never moved off its solid base. Importantly, the instructions for the machine are excellent. It's well worth taking some time to read about ways to maintain the machine in excellent condition. I recommend this machine without hesitation.

    Disappointed
    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The machine had an electrical fault after four years with loud bangs and a terrible burning smell. Did not consider it worthwhile repairing an electronic fail in a. Nearly five yr old machine.

    Touch Panel randomly changes when touching it
    We had the panel replaced under warranty and it has failed again. E.g. when trying to delay the start by 1 hour it will keep increasing the time then change the spin and temp without being anywhere close to it!

    Questions & answers

    The info is showing 14 cycles to choose from. But there is nothing mentioned about the length of time or spin options. Where can I find this information? Lorrie · 2023-11-09
    Hi Lorrie, the typical program durations can be found on page 34 of the user manual (found under the manuals heading on our product listing page). Kind regards, Adam from Appliances Online. AdamD, Appliances Online
    Hi I had this front loader delivered and installed. I noticed that there is only 1x hose connected to the cold water. How is it able to heat on warm/hot wash? User · 2023-07-22
    Good Afternoon, Thank you for your product question. Indeed, the majority of front-load washers available in the market utilize a single cold water connection. This design is possible because these machines employ internal heaters to rapidly heat a small amount of water. By doing so, they can maintain a consistent wash temperature, ensuring optimal washing results. We hope this information is helpful to you. If you have any further questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out to us at 1300-000-500. Colin Jones, Appliances Online
    The machine I am replacing was hooked up to both a hot and cold tap. This machine only hooks up to a cold tap. Is this a problem? Does the hot tap need to be blocked off by a plumber? Will it leak if not hooked up? Lori · 2023-07-15
    Good Morning, Thank you for your product question. The majority of front loaders in today's market, approximately 97%, are designed with a single cold water hose connection. These machines utilize an internal heater element to maintain the desired temperature, whether it be hot water or a specific wash temperature, in order to deliver optimal washing results. Our delivery service includes connecting the machine to your cold water tap, removing the old machine, and taking away all packaging materials. This means that there is no need to hire a plumber. Considering your laundry setup, if you have both hot and cold water tap connections, our drivers will connect your washer to the cold water tap only. To familiarize yourself with the usage and maintenance of your new machine, we have provided a user manual on our website that you can download and review before your new machine arrives. It will provide you with additional information on how to operate and care for your appliance effectively. We hope this information is helpful to you. If you have any further questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out to us at 1300-000-500. Colin Jones, Appliances Online
