Is it just me or are these the Best ever Bosch series of Washing Machines. Everything is just so spot on with these Machines. Would love some feed back.

I have a Siemens Siwamat 6120, which is a machine similar to that Bosch. It's a very good machine indeed, although a bit frugal with water on the wool cycle. I bought it used years ago, the dealer recommended it back then.

These are the choices for USA customers

I have a relative who has stacked Mieles in a closet installation. The bearings on the washer are in trouble. She may replace it with a Bosch washer.

Those machines on the website are the new ones, these series we are talking about are around 15 years old?

I think that that generation of machine, circa 1990's, was a fairly robust range. I liked the control panel, and it just looked tidy with clean lines.
I vastly preferred that Bosch styling, to the later cheaper Classixx/Exxcel/Maxx models, with the crescent-shaped door handle, shown below.

Here's a picture of my Siemens.

I have the washer-dryer variant, the WFT2800 - unfortunately, the control board blew up a few months ago... I'm going to have to investigate replacements. It replaced a WFF2001 (lower-specced WFK2801) that was rather troublesome and also blew its board. This was the last of the line for BSH in terms of stainless steel outer drums, I believe. The 2006 Classixx thing I took apart had a plastic tub.

I had this exact machine too, bought new in 1999 or so. My recollection is that it worked well - I left it behind when I sold the flat it was in in early 2003, partly to enhance the sale and partly because it was built into a shower room and would have been a lot of trouble to remove

Hi Craig.
I would also agree that they are/were an excellent range of machines and I have always been attracted by the smart, clean and sharp styling.
Number of times I have been tempted by the Hydrosensor WFP3300 or an Aquatech WFP3201 (image below) when they have been on ebay and then been put off by their location :-(
Very stylish range indeed.

Final cotton spin, after getting up to 1000 rpm for 2 minutes the machine stops then re-balances the load then it's straight up to 1400 rpm finishing with a few final anti-crease tumbles.
