Bosch - 300 series 2.2 Cu. Ft. 15-Cycle High-Efficiency Compact Front-Loading Washer - White

Only disappointing thing with this washer is that it took almost 3 1/2 months before I received it. Wasn't Best Buy's issue but the manufactur. I'm assuming they were behind on their orders and delivery. It washes beautifully, fits plenty of clothes in one load, quite and fits in the small area we built to accomatate both washer and dryer stacked. With them stacked can not use the storage drawer under the washer so it does sit very low and close to the ground. So far It hasn't been an issue.

I saw the washer delivered today after work. .. See these pics!!!!! Are you kidding me? Did you give me a used? Change it now.

I absolutely love this washing machine! It's quiet, efficient, and gets my clothes clean! I love the fast cycle as well as the extra rinse and the way it spins the clothes so well that they are almost dry! This is especially useful for clothes I plan to hang dry. A few things I noticed to improve performance and maintenance is to have a dedicated towel handy to wipe the water off the door and soak up any residual water left under the grey rubber flap around the circular opening. Water always collects there and if you don't soak this up with a towel, mold can grow over time. I also decided to add the detergent directly to the washer chamber instead of using the upper fill cartridges to avoid gunking up the interior tubes/slots that can also encourage mold growth. This was advice given to me from a relative with a similar machine. I do suggest using the slots for bleach as directed in the manual. Overall, an excellent machine! I only wish these compact machines were better priced, as they are all currently around twice the cost of a regular sized washer. (from all manufacturers) Somewhere around $600 seems more appropriate.

I got this washer as an open-box deal at a killer price. Note that it requires 240V, so unless you buy the matching dryer, you need to either have an electrician run a 240V outlet to your laundry room or convert your existing 120V outlet to a 240V, which is only possible if it's a dedicated only outlet on the circuit. If it is though, and you feel confident enough to do some basic electric work in the breaker box, the cost for this is $5 for the outlet and face plate and $10 for the double pole breaker and it takes less than 30 minutes (see picture). This washer is extremely quiet, both during wash cycles and when spinning. Compared to the Samsung HE front loader that it replaced, it is much quicker and the clothes come out MUCH MUCH cleaner, especially whites, and without using any bleach or Borax. It also has a higher spin speed than the Samsung, which means the clothes come out dryer and you're saving time and money on drying. Overall, I cannot believe that I put up with the Samsung for as long as I did.

I purchased this washer to replace a failing stacked washer/dryer combo. I bought the Bosch set because the dryer is ventless and this just fits my townhouse better. First off, this washer is designed to plug into the back of the matching dryer (Only one 240V outlet is needed!) So far so good with this washer's results. It is very quiet and efficient. The matching dryer, while ventless still dries VERY well. I am surprised as Bosch's claim of only 8% slower than a vented dryer seems to be very accurate. This washer is designed to fit 10-14lbs of laundry per load and I can attest this is accurate and is efficient while washing and drying. The dryer will take some getting used to and messing around with the proper settings but once you figure it out it's a cinch! This is an absolutely GREAT product.

This washer is great. We needed something small, as we have limited space. The clothes have been coming out clean, uses a fraction of the detergent as top load machines and is super quiet. The small item catch is easily accessible through the front--it's where coins, bobby pins, and other small items collect. The only thing missing is another rinse and spin only cycle.

I am extremely happy with the washer. It is compact but holds plenty of articles. It runs quietly. It is user friendly. It cleans very well. It seems very well made. My only suggestion would be a pedestal to use when the washer dryer is stacked as it is low to the floor but not available at this time we were told.

The machine is water and energy efficient and, most importantly, quiet. German products have proven to be extremely reliable. I’ve never had any single issue with Bosch appliances. Hence, I would recommend this washer to those who don’t want to experience water leaks, unbalanced drums, doors that can’t be properly locked etc.
