Soooo.
I picked the Bosch up last night. My father-in-law gave me a lift. It was very heavy! It was missing the drain hose so i fitted a new one and gave it a clean up! The plumbing under our sink is really awkward. The taps are on backwards in between the sink pipes and access is really restricted. I was going to connect it via a y-piece to cold but it was too awkward and the pipes are quite thick. So i connected it hot and cold!
The machine has a big scratch down the side which in time intend to spray paint. I ran a cloth over it and tried it out. The motor was abit growly at first. It is obviously noisier than the old crappoint. But its an acceptable amount
So by the time i had cleared it out it was getting late & called it a night. In the knowledge the machine is fully functioning.
Today. I got home & tried my 1st cycle! I did some darks on cotton 30 with ariel excel with higher water level option and short wash option.
So the programme with higher water level acts as follows:
The machine starts off a low waterlevel with slow tumbles. Then it goes to faster tumbles for about 5-10 minutes. Then it fills into the door seal and continues washing with fast tumbles and short pauses. The 3d aquaspa works really well the asymmetric paddles really throw loads of water over the load!
The first spin after the wash:
(A note to construction....It never rebalanced once for any of the spins throughout the programme!)
I'm not sure of the speed think it was about 500 or so. The machines drains completely then goes into a steady distribution with a gradual increase in speed in one constant spin.
Then one of my favourite points is as it slows down from the spin the cascade in the door seal sprays as it spins and slows down!
Rinsing: The machine then filled with the cascade and each rinse has the "guarenteed rinse time" Irregardless of the fill time, the machine will rinse for the set time. The water filled into the seal for the first rinse. All rinse tumbles are a really good speed so as not to make more suds.
The same spin repeats. 2nd rinse was about 3 inches up the door.
in total 4 rinses applied to this wash with higher water level.
Now just as i was thinkin how much i liked the machine....it slowed down from the spin filling through the cascade. then as the drum stops the machine just fills from the bottom with slow tumbles. heres what i wasn't prepared for...a SUPER high logic style final rinse!
Final spin: Long steady spin up to about 800 for a few minutes. It stopped redistributed and accelerated with speed up to 1000rpm!
All in all the wash took about 1hr 10. Everything is washed and rinsed perfectly!!
Pics to follow!

congrats
Hi Darren, she seems to have higher rinse levels than her daughters Maxx & Classix
Love the fact one can select/deselect intervall vario spin on every programme ... hope not on wool
If I'm not wrong drum baffles have a round side matched whith a flat one. BSH said the rounded one is for delicates, while the flat one, having stronger action, is for on cottons.
So, does the machine tumble mostly clockwise or mostly anticlockwise depending of cottons/M.I./delicates/woolens ?
I' m very very curious

Hey favorit!
Thanks for the comments! I'm going to try a standard cottons without higher water level option and see what standard rinsing is like!
Yes your correct about the paddles! Soft on one side and a flat one! It did tumble alot clockwise. thats the side with all the holes in the paddle!
I love the machine so far! Also when you select the machine you set the programme with the selector and the dial on the right is the programme status so you turn it on and it clicks round to the part of the wash you've selected!

Bosch " Excellence Comes As Standard"
Hi Darren,
Congratulations on getting your Bosch home and installed.
From the video you posted I can tell you your Bosch sounds very healthy indeed. That's the the normal Motor sound for your Bosch; it's fitted with an Electronically Controlled Universal (Carbon Brush) Motor which will sound louder as you were used to the Tri Phase Induction Motor of the Hotpoint which as you know is virtually silent when tumbling.
Happy washing.
David

Hi David!
I love this machine. It was worth the wait. I thought i'd never be rid of that hotpoint. This bosch has a couple of marks on it but it still looks great to me!
I've just done a loads of whites without higher water level. Just the short option on cotton 40.
The machine did a nice paced drum rhythm throughout the wash. then the interm spins were really fast with the cascade fills and low rinsing. However. The long fast spins and 3 long rinses managed to rinse Bold lavander powder (which the hotpoint used to leave heaps of suds and smell fairly strong) leaving just a mild fresh smell.
The motor noise is fine for me! I like abit of a purr from the machine.
My girlfriend even made the comment to her parents on the phone that even though it's noiser she even noticed how viberant and clean everything looked.
Nice one bosch
Darren
