A BIG acquisition!

[newwave1]

A couple of days ago I collected my new ginormous Bosch logixx 9 for a steal of £37! I collected it from a mansion in Essex and there was nothing wrong with the machine except they had replaced it for an integral machine!

I'm pleased as punch with it flexibility, huge load and very quiet operation!

The only thing is it has the lip in the seal for the cascade fill but having looked inside it doesn't look as though it is connected to anything. I'm wondering if I could bypass one of the fill hoses to it?

On my YouTube page I have some videos.

Wow!

Looks Great! I hope your pleased with it, and for £37 it's a bargain! I saw a small B&B using this three or four times daily, since around 2005, great machine.

One question, was it designed for the American market like the Whirlpool Duet was, but sold over here for light commercial use, like the Dreamspace was? I think it's called the Axxis in America, the same machine just with different programme titles, such as permenant press instead of EasyCare etc. Anyway, it looks a smashing machine!

Please correct me if I am wrong.

P.S: I always liked the look of a Dreamspace - a dream machine!

Great bargain for great machine. I had to give up mine for the move. I miss it very much, excellent cleaning. The American version was the Bosch Nexxt Premium, WFMC6400. Though I admit I was jealous of the range of temp options on the UK/EU version. My 2005 version maxed out at 155F.

Shame Bosch Didn't Work Out the Kinks

In their "uber" sized laundry appliance for the US market rather than pull the plug. Those Nexxt units arrived with much fanfare and barely lasted a decade if that on the market. IIRC the washing machines suffered from high number of bearing problems.

That was a steal for that Bosch!  Congrats on a good find.

 

I have only seen a few of these in the "wild" here, all were good performing machines, one washing for a family of six.  A friend had one and had a sheer stocking in the pump once, but other than that, have heard of no serious problems.

IIRC this is one of the first front loaders one saw that didn't have a user friendly accessible pump/lint filter system. Coming from the Miele one looked at this unit when PC Richards had them on the floor and wondered where the "trap door" was for the filter. Salesman informed me there wasn't one. Of course my next question was how did one clean the lint filter and so forth. His reply was that wouldn't be necessary.

Very nice! Now, you'll need the dryer to match.

 

I love the big "scoop & ladle" paddles in there. Way better than the Dreamspace' ones. But how powerful is the heater? According to Bosch's eShop, it's only 1.300 watts and the machine is cold-fill only.

Launderess,
It's there, lower right. The company for some odd reason didn't want the consumer to regularly access it. The manual didn't say anything about it. I knew what it was and checked regularly. Sad that the average American consumer would have a service call for something so simple.

Cheers gang! It works great!! I love the paddle design it really showers the load!

There is an accessible pump.
