“BOSCH CLASSIC 1200 EXPRESS DISAPPOINTING”

Written on: 26/04/2013

Had Bosch previously and replaced with this model around 3 years ago. Had problems with the spin programme (clothes still heavy with water)towards end of first year but was only now and again and seemed to clear when put on to manual spin. Machine gave up the ghost yesterday out of the blue- would not switch on at all although all of the spin speed indicator lights were showing red. Checked on internet and seems a number of people having similar problems. Chap who repairs washing machine had... (read more)

“In a minority but I love mine”

Written on: 18/11/2012 by V8Rover

Inherited this machine 4 years ago when my great aunt died. She had acquired it two or three years previously. I have to say I cannot fault it. Nothing has ever gone wrong with it - and it leads a pretty hard life. It is fairly quiet and washes and rinses very well. The one bugbear I have with it is that nothing I can do will prevent it beeping loudly at the end of the cycle. There was an instruction leaflet explainimg a combination of button brushes (the buttons are non-moving touch... (read more)

“Bosch classixx 1200”

Written on: 09/11/2012 by Nickjt

I've had my machine for four years. It has been repaired numerous times. The final repair under warranty required a new control panel & I was told by the repair man that it was almost beyond economic repair. I have just had it repaired out of warranty, the bushes needed replacing, more expense. Having read reviews on this site I think I should have scrapped it because it sometimes takes an age to complete a cycle so I now suspect a timer problem & it sounds like the bearings have gone too....

“We got this machine along with our new build house...”

Written on: 22/12/2010

We got this machine along with our new build house almost exactly 3 yrs ago, installed by the builders. Im not a washing machine enthusiast (who is really? Apart from repairmen...) and all I want to know about a machinre is does it work ok and will it last a long time, by which I mean at least 5 yrs. This unit is fairly easy to use, is unobtrusive and functional and has given us no problems until yesterday when it stopped spinning - have now tried everything to get it to spin or to isolate...

Written on: 18/12/2010 by rodbailey (2 reviews written)

Hi Had this washer for four years and not gone wrong yet. I have had bosch before and always done well. We do around 7 loads a week and the wife does over load it as well.
It's not odd for some to go wrong as with all things, you must have had a bad one. I can say there are worse makes out there.
Just dont buy a cheapo you can be sure it will go wrong. (read more)

Written on: 10/07/2010

Had our Bosch for 2 1/2 years and it has just stopped. Seems to be the same problem other are having. Very dissappointed in what we though was a reliable brand. Will NOT be buying Bosch again.
The good review on here says it all "Reccomended by a repair shop" guess they know that will be more business. (read more)

“My previous 3 washing machines lasted a combined total...”

Written on: 04/10/2009

My previous 3 washing machines lasted a combined total of 27 years, none were Bosch. My Bosch Classixx 1200 Express lasted all of 22 months. While it worked it was very good but not for long enough. The part alone would cost £190 and Bosch quoted at least 6 weeks to deliver the part! So I will scrap the thing and never again consider any Bosch appliance after this. (read more)

My Bosch Classixx 1200 Express only lasted 4 years, like other poster the timer's gone haywire, well over £100 to replace so scraping it. Not recommended at all, why buy expensive when it breaks after 4 years? (read more)
