Pictures of my Bosch Logixx 7

[chrisbsuk]

Hi All,
its been ages since I have posted here! I had forgot my password....
I think the last time I wrote, I had got rid of the 1600RPM aqualtis, and replaced it with the Intergrated Bosch- to keep my kitchen looking the same!

I actually really like this machine - its very stable when spinning, pretty quiet, great performance, and a decent range of cycles. I tend to use the following:
60*C Easy Care - work shirts & Bed Linen
30*C Easy Care - T-Shirts, work trousers etc
30*c Cotton - underwear, jeans
I use the Aqua plus button (high wash levels, high rinse levels, 2 extra rinses) for all of the cycles, and also the Wash Plus button - extends the wash cycle

60* Stains - Towels etc; this is the "A+" rated test cycle; excellent results, although comes in at about 2hrs long

30*c mixed load - my gym kit, my football teams kit (wash plus, aqua plus)

Sorry if thats bored you! Anyway, I have taken some pictures of it this morning, and have uploaded them here for you to look at

and start - not sure if you can see the water flowing down the door or not in this image - there is a fill flume on the top left of the door - looks great when it starts and also looks great when the machine is slowing down from an interim spin and it starts to fill that way

A different angle - not sure how clear this is either for you all

Funny paddles

Have seen this machine recently in Comet/Currys and thought that the paddles look funny.

Nice Bosch

Nice machine Chris,

Bet you can get through some washing powder. That soap drawer is well & truly filled to the brim. How long does the 90deg wash take. I see there is no quick wash button. So i guess the standard wash time is quite low but with the option to increase it by pressing the wash plus button.

Vacations-time for being a washing machine slut

What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas-holidays are the perfect excuse to try out other machines (please no one tell the F+P at home). Mal and I are over in Western Australia (3000kms away on the other side of the continent) visiting his bro+SIL. They are being most hospitable and easy to get along with. Mal's mother has come too as she likes to see her two sons "playing together nicely". Anyway Rod and Sandy have a Bosch Maxx Classic 1000rpm which I assume is the Asian manufactured model not the one sourced from Europe. First impressions are of a neatly finished solid machine save for the plastic door. Sandy speaks of it quite highly and she can be particular about equipment that she uses. I did a mixed load and it seems to have washed well. Anyone else have one of these?

Hey Optima...
yes, there is no quick was button - the manual says that the quick wash cycle is the 40*c easy care prog, with no additional options selected - that actually takes about 40 mins, and spins at 1200; so pretty good! Which magazine tested this cycle and gave it 4/5 for cleaning without wash plus selected!

The wash plus button does add up to 45 mins onto the wash part of the selected cycle

The 90*c cycle took about 1.45 yesterday; pretty quick, considering

Thanks for posting. It looks like a nice machine, with logical controls and a good selection of options.

With this washer's asymmetrical paddles, does it tend to tumble in one direction more than the other?

@joe_in_philly

I suspect that on cottons it tumbles evenly in both directions, however the delicate cycles & pre-haps rinses it would tumble longer in the direction of the sloping paddles, so less force on clothes. Plus if Wash plus is set I suspect it tumbles longer on the steep sides, so it intensively cleans.

I may be completely wrong though!

That's the same premise my Bosch WFF2000 worked on. It used to tumble for longer anticlockwise on cottons because it was the steeper side. The softer side had all the wholes in for the "Aquaspa" as they called it!
