The Most Environmentally Friendly Machine
Great value for money, I have had this one for 7 years; very good, however, I have noticed it beeping half way through the wash - it is because other taps were running at the same time so the water pressure wasn't high enough. It is quite a loud machine, max spin speed 1400rpm with a quick wash feature which is good for things that just need a freshen up. This machine does not seem to use a lot of water, which must be good for the environment.
The fabric softener seems to be dispensed too early; this means that the softener smell does not stay on the clothes. The dispenser drawer does need frequent cleaning but that is quite easy to do in the sink with an old toothbrush and washing-up liquid.
On the whole, this is a very good machine and I would definitely recommend it to other people.

I have NEVER owned a wachine machine that needs the detergent drawer cleaning all the time like this
Bosch WFL2872. I have owned cheaper, lesser machines that have performed far better than this Bosch.
Also have never experienced this mouldy smell on clothes before. Am seriously thinking of replacing this machine

Not Very Good. Fills Up With Water, Then Pump Does
Not very good. Fills up with water, then pump doesn't pump water out of drum. Only had it for 3 years, won't buy another one, not recommended.

The First Thing We Noticed About The Bosch Machine
The first thing we noticed about the Bosch machine was just how wet the clothes are even after the 1400 spin compared to our old machine which had a 1000 spin. Then after about 8 months we started to notice white powder marks on clothes so we rang for Bosch to come out to it. They would not come out at first and instead told us to use less powder and do a boil wash twice a month. This helped but did not solve the problem so we got them to come out to fix it. Apparently this is a problem you are supposed to put up with as it is a cold water fill machine and all he could do was put a descaler in the washer as for the spin speed that's as good as it gets. In my opinion buy yourself a Beko with hot water fill and use the money you save on a five year guarantee.
Ours was less than 3 years old and it has just died. We'd get crumple marks which an iron could not remove and because of these folds the wear in the machine action on the edges would take the dye out. Looked bad on jeans and any other self colour (unintended tie-dye!)
This was a very helpful review. My washing machine has just broken down after only 4 years and I now need to replace it, I was thinking of either buying Bosch or Indesit. So this has been a great help, many thanks Susan.
