This is year 16 for our Bosch Washer and now it seems that the bearings are drying out on the machine but we  plan to get another one after this one goes and hopes it lasts as long.  Never had any repairs done except once, my husband cleaned the out take hose. No leaking issues. Got used to the vibrations. Cleans well.  Power wash is wonderful for heavily soiled clothes.  Our major issue is with load balancing a lot of times it takes a while to balance and I would have to either rearrange the load or pause and let the load sit and either hit the drain option or spin.  This action  of course stops the washing program.  You basically have to start over.  But we got used to that.  Wash cycle quiet. Spin cycles quieter than other machines.  Draining  is the noisiest part, I guess that is normal.   Now a days 16 years is a long time for a  washing machine to last.
