According to this AOL money article on safety of tumble dryers, they say "It was unable to confirm how many of these fires were started by one of the five million Hotpoint, Creda and Indesit dryers that owner Whirlpool issued a safety alert about in November last year." So yeah. There we go...

Lobe Bosch machines. Got a series 6 in the UK. Honestly, when you go to John Lewis or Currys and see these machines up against anything from Indiset, Candy, or Hoover, you really appreciate the build quality of them. They are really nicely finished. Performance of mine has been rock solid for...

My Bosch serie 6 When it is just "washing the clothes" you only hear water sloshing. When its spinning, you hear a very faint whine. No motor noises at it is a brushless design. Very refined machine.

Why have some of you guys got to be arseholes? This is a washing machine thread. You guys are supposed to be experts and enthusiasts. Believe it or not you can't find absolutely everything about everything on the internet. There are a handful of videos which show bits and pieces. Maybe the guy...

@runematic; I have the same problem. The sheet will find its way toward the door and rubber seal (i have a bosch front loader) which is why i periodically check it to see if it is mixing with the cloths still. One thing i like about my machine is that you can pause and open the door mid way...

Well, my kitchen is full of Bosch appliances. They are a company who sell on the basis of a genuinely good quality product rather than flashy designs and advertising. Their appliances last decades. My dishwasher, tumble dryer, washer and fridge freezer are all bosch and I love them. They just...

Just tried searching through the threads but I can't seem to find anything related to colour catch sheets, unless there is a different term for it. I swear by them. For those of you who don't know, they are small sheets made from man made fibres which catch the dye from running into other...

I would say Korea, although neither are famed for their quality, not compared to the Germans. A Bosch or miele machine use greater quality metals for their frames, thicker metal on the bodywork, better hinges and last longer. LG and Samsung machines are hit and miss regarding long term...

What it is to be sophisticated Europeans huh Henene :p

Doesn't surprise me. Samsung started making major appliances in China, an when i mean major, i am talking £1000+ fridge freezers. I doubt quality as well, as Samsung have had a lot of problems with their mother borders in their washing machines. LG are known for using substandard materials in...

They look very similar to my Series 6. If so it is a great machine. I think Bosch are trying to streamline their product offering across Europe and the US so they are somewhat similar.

Oh god, not a Hotpoint! Would not have one based on the terrible build quality I have come across myself. Again, just a gimmick. None of this crap works, same goes for samsungs eco bubble BS. Why do never see Bosch or Miele come up with things like this? Because they aren't interested in...

:) Well that is funny as a couple of people have said this happens on their Bosch washer at spins sometimes, and it also happens during a drum clean when there is obviously nothing in the drum :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)

So I chucked in a couple of throws on a mixed load and noticed this like swirl of water I have never seen before. It amused me at the time, but I also wanted an excuse to upload a video as I now have fibre optic running at 75 mbps ! I have been asked by a few people to record a couple of...

I love my Bosch serie 6 washer. It is beautifully built, incredibly quiet not only because of the brushless motor but the pump is quiet as well. Just a brilliant machine. I agree Whirlpolf. I would say Bosch or BSH group products are second to Miele in terms of quality. A cut above the mainstream.
