Bosch New Line for 2011/2012

[splittub]

Do the new machines from Bosch still have a split outer tub, or are they welded like the ones in the new AEG Protex range?

Well that's another good question, I suspect it is the same tub that's used in the current Logixx machines!

Further research performed

I have performed some further research into the Bosch Home professional washing machine and came across the 1600 spin model.
This was a German site and after translating the Euro into a pound, I found that the German shop is selling it for £833.52
This shows to me that they have improved quality a lot, with the current Uk logixx selling round the £600 mark!

Cost doesn't equal quality, unfortunately. Though I suspect they have some things that the current machine doesn't, it may not cost much more to build, but they can charge more and make more profit from it...

@dascot

Your right, but why are they offering 10 Years parts+Labour as opposed to just 2 years?
As I said before, I think they are trying to outdo Miele!

Alright they could just charge more to make profit. But certainly going to be better quality than those High Priced Hotpoint machines.

 

[dascot]

I don't disagree. Will see when they get here what prices are and warranty is etc., as that may change between the continent and the UK...

 

[glenfieldmathk1]

It might do.

They may not even come here to the uk, it will be a huge step from the current Logixx machines if they do!

Now they've made it to the Product pages

The washing machines & tumble dryers have now made it to the German Bosch website in the product page.
Here's a link to the 8KG Exclusive washing machine.

Plus also noticed some of the dryers have changed, with the handle on the side of the door at the side-like Siemens & the Avantixx style.

But they still have those variosoft-drums. Very bad as the holes are so sharp that they might damage the clothes. I have touched the drums multiple times and I have to say that it is much sharper than any other "care" drum that I have seen so long.

I used google translate to read the page in English - it changed the country of manufacture from Germany to USA!

[glenfieldmathk1]

No, they are made in Germany
Even the pictures all state it.
Think that's just a fault with Google Translate-My one doesn't even work any more!

 

[glenfieldmathk1]

The Variosoft drum is very gentle compared to a micro hole drum.
The recent ones were better designed-holes slightly smaller.
The holes don't really put me off, as if your washing delicates-use the delicates cycle-the machine tumbles longer in the direction where everything is gentle.
