My bosch rates as 53% moisture left in clothes after a spin, which is relatively low. Even an 1,800 spin is down to 48 - 50% but it depends on how long the machine spins for and the size of the drum.

Hmm, interesting, thank you for your detailed answer ! I am going to revert to Persil powder me think at least for the time being. I am not convinced my whites are as clean as they should be. I am still experimenting with different programs on the Bosch. I am most likely going to be getting...

So I have a new Bosch series 6 washing machine which I love and adore. It washes clothes quite a bit better than my previous machine which is all good. However, I have been using these "liquitabs" for the last 3 or 4 years as they are hand and are supposed to be the right amount of liquid for...

Well, however it works, it works very well. My clothes are actually brighter than they have been in a long time, and it applies the fabric softener better than the hotpoint. With my hotpoint, it wouldn't really make a difference if you used softener or not, it was pretty useless, but on the...

Yepp, my Bosch does that. The drum twitches as soon as you start the program as it senses how much water and energy to use. Really actually very interesting.

If you want, I will make a video of a mixed load. It is actually quite interesting, as like when my auntie came round I was just putting a load on and she actually commented on it. The water come running down the inside of the door and the drums turn slowly as the water is coming in, rather than...

I feel so stupid... So I rang up AO on Sunday of all days, they said they would contact Bosch and get them to call me to arrange an engineer visit. Bosch rung up and were really very understanding and polite and I pointed out I didn't want to machine pulled apart at under 3 weeks old, they said...

Yes I did think that may be the point, but its only half a kilo more than my hotpoint, but the drums itself may be bigger than that would suggest. http://y

Haha, thank you BoschExxel. Yeah I was thinking of doing, that suppose, I could. Will do a load tomorrow morning and hopefully record it.

It is a very nice machine, just wish it would stop this knocking, other than that is washes cloths brilliantly and they come out dryer than my previous machine.

Thank you BoschExxcel. Otherwise it is a beautiful machine, beautifully made, and has shown up my hotpoint for washing performance, as my whites are now coming out a much crisper white! The normal everyday program "mixed" takes half the time to complete than the hotpoint. A handful of picture...

Update on EBAC** They have released picture and more information on the 3 different model of washing machine they will be making, emphasising on all of them on their ease of use, durability and British manufacturing. They look really nice looking machine, and the raised control panel is a...

Update** AO contacted me to say they can not get stock of the Siemens washer dryer from their suppliers. Something tells me they will be discontinuing this model, which coincides with members on here saying Siemens are pulling out of the domestic appliance market all together. So about 2 and a...

Bosch have strict standards when it comes to quality and performance. Yeah, there stuff does last. Our previous fridge and freezer from them was 15 years old and there was nothing wrong with it, just needed something bigger. This is something I think I did mention earlier. How much better will...

German engineering indeed. Finest in the world. Germany needs to keep it in Germany rather than what the rest of the world has done and outsourcing lowering the standards! Looks a very nice washer. I am getting a dishwasher soon after my washer dryer arrives. It will be a Bosch dishwasher. I...

Thank you, and yes. All my Bosch stuff is not German built. The kettle, toaster and microwave are Chinese made, the fridge freezer is made in Turkey and the mower is made in UK but they are all brilliant and very well made, like a cut above mainstream stuff.

That is true. Bosch products built in other countries are built in Bosch factories with Bosch standards, I know that for a fact. They don't outsource any of their manufacturing, and I have Chinese made Bosch products, my kettle and toaster and they are 7 years old and are like new so haven't...

So I was just browsing through some achieved threads and there was a post up saying all Siemens washer-dryers are made in China? Is this true? That would explain the price difference. Surely the quality should be no different especially at this price point...

Well thank you everyone for your help. I have ordered the Siemens and it should be arriving on Tuesday. I shall post pictures and my verdict soon after :D

On several website, the Siemens is cheaper, and the Bosch is more expensive, and if the Siemens is an older generation, it seems odd that it is more energy efficient. There are some slight differences with the control panel but that is it.
