Bosch Maxx Front Loaders

[sudsy]

Dear all,

I just discovered this forum, and am so excited that it exists. I'm about to purchase a front loader and am considering the Bosch Maxx series, either the 900, 1000 or 1200. Does anyone have any opinions about this series?

I'm in Melbourne, Australia.

Thanks,

Sudsy.

I have the Bosch Axxis+ Washer and Dryer. From the pictures they look to be very close. I am really happy with this set. Three years without a problem and my laundry has never been cleaner or softer. I really feel like these do a good job of washing as well as rinsing out all the detergent.

I'd buy another Bosch set if I was in the market for a new one.

I have a Bosch Exxcel (Maxx) washer with matching dryer downstairs; and after 2 1/2 years of heavy use (8 loads a week minimum), it has still held up - which is nice for a machine of nowadays. Noisier than either my AEG or Miele, but then it was considerably cheaper. Spin noise not ideal for those who can't stand high pitched sounds, but otherwise a very reliable workhorse. Only problem we've had after 2 1/2 years is that the Rinse Plus LED is starting to fail, but this isn't a major operational problem. Original bearings/brushes still installed without any problems as of yet (knock on wood).

IMO I'd get the 1200 or 1400rpm spin - I have a 1400rpm version and the spin results are quite good, although again can't beat teh 1600rpm I have on the other washers, but the 1400rpm considerably better than most other washers. The dryer only takes 30 minutes maximum to dry a load of towels from the 1400rpm spin.

Hope this helps,

Jon
