    Good machine delivered promptly
    Our second Bosch, first one lasted 15yrs which is excellant for these machines. New model looks to be as good after a month of use. Great price, delivered next day, and they took the old one away. Can't ask for much more than that.

    Questions & answers

    Can I put a 5kg Simpson dryer on top? Mick · 2026-04-03
    Hello Thank you for this product question. As long as you have plenty of depth within the washer, you are able to place a smaller dryer on top, you will need an Anti-Vibration mat placed in between both. Hope this helps. Kind regards, Appliances Online Colin Jones, Appliances Online
    I would like to ask if this product requires a water inlet pipe adapter during installation? Because there seems to be no independent water inlet for the washing machine. If an adapter is needed, are you responsible for providing it? AP997 · 2026-02-13
    Hi there, Thank you for your question. Everything required for a standard installation is included with this machine. If your specific installation requirements are unique though and you require specialist parts to complete installation, these likely will not be included with the machine. Hope this helps. Kind regards, Appliances Online Adam Vaccaro, Appliances Online
    What is the difference between Bosch 8kg and 9kgs washing machine front loader? Lorett · 2026-01-22
    Hello there, unfortunately there is no 9kg front loader in the Bosch Series 2 - so I can't make a direct comparison for you between models. But it's generally things like additional bearings, as well as slightly stronger motors and suspensions. If you overload a washing machine, it will cause strain on the motor and shorten the machine's lifespan. Hopefully this helps! If you have any further questions, though, please don't hesitate to phone us anytime on 1300 000 500 - we're here 24/7 =) Cheers, Adam from Appliances Online. AdamD, Appliances Online
    How do you specify your desired water temperature? I can't recall seeing anything in the brochure. Jenny · 2026-01-03
    The different programs allow you to select the temperature you want to wash at. It doesn't have a specific temperature select for each cycle, but if zoom into the control panel (click into the image, click the zoom icon) - you can see the different temperature options on the command dial =) Hopefully this helps! If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to phone us anytime on 1300 000 500 - we're here 24/7. Cheers, Adam from Appliances Online. AdamD, Appliances Online
