Bosch Washing Machine Reviews
Bosch WLM 20441 OE Washing Machine
Alexey:
This is my second time buying a Bosch washing machine. I previously had a MAX5. I like the Bosch's excellent design, touch buttons, and backlighting. The washing results are just as good as other machines. My only gripe is that these washing machines can't get whites perfectly white. I have to soak them in bleach before washing. Otherwise, everything is fine.
Pros: Excellent appearance of the machine, drum depth, touch control.
Cons: Like other washing machines, it cannot wash white items to a perfectly white color; you need to soak them with bleach before washing.

Marianne:
Before buying a car, we read reviews online and decided on a Bosch. We went to the store, spoke with the consultants, looked at the design of the appliance, and settled on the WLK20163OE. We paid for it.
The machine was delivered a week ago. We installed it right away. I'm very happy with the washing machine. My former assistant (Candy) couldn't remove some stains. But the Bosch removes them easily! It rinses and spins well. It saves water. I was also pleased with the feature that automatically cleans the detergent drawer. Now I don't have to do it manually. It's quite quiet.
There's a slight vibration during the spin cycle. This may be because we installed it ourselves and didn't adjust the level. There's another unusual feature: I can add laundry during the wash cycle. After the cycle is complete, the machine makes a beeping sound three times. This means the wash cycle is finished and you can remove the laundry. The door is quite large. The display shows how much time remains until the end of the wash cycle, what additional features are enabled, and so on. It's a wonderful machine; it has everything I need.
It's been working for a week now. I'm very happy with it. I hope it won't disappoint.

Before this car, we had a domestic one. It was called "Sibir." And when it broke down, we started thinking about which new one to buy. We immediately settled on Bosch, since it's a German company. And they make very high-quality products. We were just deciding on the model.
We were looking for a machine that was both affordable and reliable. We decided on this washing machine. Our purchase fits perfectly in the bathroom. It takes up very little space, especially compared to the Sibir. The Bosch is half the size. It's almost silent during washing. At first, the beeping sound that occurs after the machine finishes washing was annoying, but then we disabled it in the settings. Everything is in Russian, so it's easy to understand. Setting up the wash cycle is straightforward. You just select a program and start the wash. There are no complaints about its operation, wash quality, or build quality. This is probably the most reasonable choice considering the price.
The machine looks very nice. I was pleased with the variety of modes and options, the user-friendly display, and the controls. The touch controls are quite good; people complain about them being less than ideal. We're quite happy with them; they're very user-friendly. You can also add an extra rinse, soak, and so on.
I was also pleased that there are extra-quick wash cycles for 15 minutes and 30 minutes. They're a lifesaver when the laundry is clean and just needs a quick refresh. Our cat has taken a liking to the washing machine and now sleeps on it all the time. He's not even afraid when it's washing. That's what quality means!
In the two years we've been using it, we've only noticed one minor drawback. Sometimes the detergent doesn't rinse out of the clothes, and we have to run another rinse. But that's not a big deal, as it rarely happens. It's also possible that too much detergent is to blame.
The whole family is thrilled with our Bosch washing machine. We highly recommend it!
Bosch Logixx 6 WOT24454OE Washing Machine
Evgeniy:
The time has come to replace my old Kaiser. It worked perfectly for over 10 years!!! Never broke down once. But unfortunately, all things break down sooner or later. So, it gradually deteriorated. It started shaking during the spin cycle, and the top of the unit rusted.
We spent a long time choosing a new washing machine. Finally, we decided on the Bosch Logixx 6 WOT24454OE. We installed and connected it without any problems. It was in the same spot. However, the floor there was slightly inclined, so the installation wasn't quite right. I fiddled with the feet, trying to level it, and eventually decided that a slight incline would be sufficient, but it would be stable.
This didn't affect the washing quality at all. The machine works fine. Even when I set the spin speed to 1200, it's still quite quiet and barely vibrates. The machine is very easy to operate, with a wide range of programs and options. We were pleasantly surprised by the 15-minute quick wash cycle. Everyone was very pleased with the new washing machine.
Pros: Washes and spins without much noise, easy to operate.
Cons: No downsides were found.
Bosch Home Professional WAY 28540 OE Washing Machine
Maria:
A wonderful machine. It's not noisy at all. It has an ultra-quick wash cycle, which takes just 15 minutes. You can also activate an additional water-saving option. This is especially convenient for us, as we live in a private house. We were also pleased with the ability to load a large amount of laundry at once. We have blankets, comforters, and other large items, and the washing machine handles them well.
We wash our clothes almost every day, sometimes even twice a day. The machine handles everything without any problems. We're very happy with it. By the way, ours is German-made, not Russian-made. The German ones are of higher quality. We gave our grandmother the same one for her birthday. We recommend it to everyone!
No shortcomings were found in it.

Inna:
It's ruining the laundry! We washed new laundry, and afterward, it looks like it's been worn out. Pilling and even holes are appearing! Some items are unraveling, and the towels are turning into rags! We think it's all because of the drum and the low water consumption. The holes in the drum with sharp edges are what's ruining the clothes. We called the service center and couldn't arrange a replacement machine! So think twice before buying one!
Pros: There is ironing.
Cons: tears linen, spoils things, is not suitable for washing.
Bosch WOT 20352 Washing Machine
Love:
We bought a very similar machine, specifically the WOT245522OE/01 Logixx6. It's not cheap—we paid over 20,000 rubles. At first, we liked everything. We were looking for a reputable manufacturer, especially one with a good display and a variety of features. But while using it, we noticed some drawbacks. For example, after washing, some of the detergent remains in the dispenser. After a few months, some mold appeared in the dispenser. The same thing happened on all the rubber seals inside the machine. And we can't seem to remove this mold. We've tried everything. We've tried various products, but nothing works.
Eventually, while the machine was running, a power failure occurred, and the electronic module failed. We couldn't find a replacement module. We searched all the major repair shops in Moscow. This machine is no longer in production. That's probably why we couldn't find any replacement parts. They offered to replace a used module for close to half the cost of the washing machine. And it only had a three-month warranty! And it had only been three years since we bought our machine!
Yes, the warranty year has already expired. But for them to be unable to find a replacement part, even for a fee, is completely insane! Ultimately, we won't pay for the repairs. We'll buy a new washing machine instead. But definitely not a Bosch this time!
Pros: a large amount of laundry that can be washed at one time, excellent spinning.
Cons: Bad detergent drawer, noisy during spin cycle, repair issues.

Zhenya:
I spent a long time choosing a new washing machine. About a month. I read a lot of different reviews and forums. And then I decided on this machine. I bought it three months ago. I chose the slim model. It looks very nice. The controls are touch-sensitive. It works well. The wash quality is quite satisfactory. It sits perfectly still during the spin cycle. It doesn't even move. It's not particularly noisy. I think other machines might be noisier.
1000 rpm is enough for a good spin. I was pleased with the ability to add more laundry even during the wash cycle. If you accidentally forgot something, you can pause and throw it back in. If the suds build up, a rinse cycle is automatically added. The door release panel is a bit of a concern. It feels very fragile, so I open it carefully. So far, everything is fine; nothing has broken.
Pros: Washes well, spins well. Looks stylish. Very durable.
Cons: I haven't found any obvious shortcomings yet.
Bosch WLX 24363 OE Washing Machine
Anastasia
We bought this washing machine. We liked the design, and it's a well-known manufacturer. The functions are fine. We had several machines before this one, including German ones (Braun and Kaiser) and a Korean Samsung. The Braun is a wonderful machine. We bought it in Germany. The Kaiser is crap. The Samsung is much cheaper than the German ones, and it's also okay. It still works perfectly.
Now about the Bosch. It worked for two years. I didn't wash much laundry. Only enough for two. And then it broke! It whistled and shook during the spin cycle. The laundry always got rinsed twice to get the detergent out. We called a professional repairman (currently there seem to be problems with the pump and electronics). When he arrives, we'll know the exact cause of the breakdown and how much the repair will cost.
We're very dissatisfied. Even with such gentle use, the Bosch broke down after just two years. And it's not a budget machine. It costs twice as much as, say, a Samsung. We expected it to last five years without breaking down!
Pros: With this kind of work, I don’t see any advantages.
Cons: It failed in the second year of use.

Bosch Logixx6 WOT244540E Washing Machine
We have been using it for about a year.
Pros:
Easy to operate;
Quiet when spinning;
Spacious;
There is a quick wash of 15 or 30 minutes.
Cons:
The time on the board does not correspond to the time;
Autoparking doesn't always work;
If there is little laundry, it will not spin out without additional spinning;
The air conditioner fill section leaks directly into the machine.
There is mold in the machine, but that's our fault.
I'm so disappointed!!! I've had various washing machines before, but this time I decided to buy an expensive, German-made one. I'm not trying to save money! But it doesn't wash well, and rinsing dark clothes is impossible. It just leaves streaks! In short, it's a nightmare! A waste of money.
Hello, my Bosch waq20440 oe/01 avantix stopped working after three years of use, even on the gentle cycle. The centrifuge arm in the non-detachable tank broke off. Is it possible to replace it with a detachable tank?
The Bosch Maxx 4 2066 oe machine is excellent, quiet, and reliable. After 14 years of use, the brushes wore out, so we replaced them and we're good to go! We have eight people in our family and wash every day. We try to clean it with citric acid at 90 degrees Celsius once a month. Everything is fine!
I bought a BOSCH WLK2426MOE six months ago and didn't wash it often. The door seal broke. The manufacturer, of course, refused to repair it. Is this the 12-month manufacturer's warranty?
Don't buy it. German quality is just a name. Less than three years after purchasing it in November 2015, the program settings switch stopped working. Only the rinse mode works!
The design is good. It's assembled in Russia. It lasted for one year and two months. The bearing wasn't greased with water-repellent lubricant, so it fell apart. What's the point of overpaying if there's no quality control? Although there is a solution: take it apart at the store and check if it's lubricated.
