Yes I do really like the whirlpool even though you cant see anything it's a great experience to open the hatching and load the clothes and detergent in a different Way!
Hope you're well! Do you still have your bosch Classixx?
Sold the Bosch Classixx - must be two or three years ago now? It was about 4 or 5 years old, sold it in a very good condition for a good price despite having been really, really well used (young kids - you know the score)
That was a great machine.
It went because the kitchen in our new house got totally refitted by a fairly `high end' local company. Everything is Siemens integrated now - I had no choice in the matter. Well, I could have pushed I suppose but I was happy enough to have Siemens. The washer is really similar to the Bosch (obviously) with a few minor changes, and if anything is even smoother running. I like the fact the Siemens has a proper 50c cycle - I know I'm old skool but I love 50c and use it a good deal.
