Customer review: "Extremely quiet, especially compared to the old one! I had to keep checking it when I first ran it to make sure it was working.

Customer review: "Had Beko and Candy appliances previously, my Bosh is definitely much better, very quiet and the smart water adapter means no wasted water (cheaper bills) we have needed to move our appliances a few times as reconfiguring our Kitchen layout so the water adapter means there are no pools of water when trying to move the washer! Having a light in the drum makes seeing inside the drum much better, no lost socks!

Customer review: "We got our new washing machine to replace the one we'd had for the last 10-15 years. We opted for the Bosch one as it seemed the best fit for what we needed. Able to comfortably take our usual washing loads, economical settings etc. and the drying capability meant we could give away our old tumble dryer and save some space. The machine gives excellent results at low temperatures and has a good spin. We are also very pleased with how quiet it is. All in all, it's a great washing machine and value for money, with a reassuring guarantee should something go wrong."

Power detergents work best for white clothes, which can contain bleach or optical brighteners to keep the white looking crisp and fresh. They’re best loaded into the detergent drawer. The Ariel Formula Pro+ Powder - 13kg is a great option for this - as they're a leading brand.

On the other hand, if you’re washing lots of coloured clothes together, we suggest using a detergent specifically for this purpose, absent of any optical brightener. This will keep the colours for longer.

Black (and darker) clothes need cleaning with special liquid detergents. This detergent type doesn’t contain any bleach and will help preserve the colour of the clothing. After all, you want your black clothes to remain that way. You can dose this Ecover Non-Bio Lavender and Sandalwood Laundry Liquid in the drawer or into the drum with a dosing ball.
