    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.

    Very happy so far. So much quieter and smoother than my previous old machine. Good range of programs with a good range of adjustments that can be made to spin speed, duration etc. I have lots of delicates and (machine washable) wool and find it's quite gentle on these items. The load detection feature means it suitable for frequent small loads for a one person household, as well as easily coping with larger loads of linens etc. (Note: The initial new machine smell, plastic and rubber, was overpowering. I had to keep the room well aired for the first few days.)

    Bosch Series 2 8kg Front Load Washing Machine
    Purchased this to replace another brand that gave up in less than 3 years. So far so good. It is really quiet, washes well, has a good range of cycles and is big enough for bedding, bath sheets and pool towels. Spins well and doesn't go off balance. Appliances Online were great with delivery and installation.

    Questions & answers

    Is this washing machine the equivalent to the Bosch MAAX Classic of ‘yesteryear’ ? Cassy · 2025-10-25
    No answer available yet
    Does this machine come in black ? Adam · 2025-10-20
    Hello there, unfortunately there are no Bosch Series 2 or Series 4 washing machines or dryers in Australia that are Black/Graphite at this stage (as at October 2025). You are able to refine washing machines by colour (and select across the spectrum from Dark Grey to Matte Black). If you'd like any assistance, please don't hesitate to phone us anytime on 1300 000 500 =) Cheers, Adam from Appliances Online. AdamD, Appliances Online
    Does the door change sides from one to the other to fit with one's laundry layout? Instil · 2025-08-17
    Hi there, Thank you for your question. Unfortunately, no, the door on this washing machine is fixed and cannot be changed. Hope this helps. Kind regards, Appliances Online Adam Vaccaro, Appliances Online
    Hi, Is it true (like one reviewer said) that it wont automatically turn off but instead peeps continuously when the load has ended? (Would it beep all day potentially if you left a load on before work and came home at the end of a long workday?)... Instil · 2025-08-17
    Hello there, this is something that can be amended, there are instructions in the user manual. However, leaving clothes in a washing machine is a surefire way for them to go slightly mouldy or omit a damp odour. You're safest option on days like that it is to do a delay start option so it finishes as you're arriving home. Cheers, Adam from Appliances Online. AdamD, Appliances Online
