Product review (1 stars): Weak drain pump means continuous trouble
We have had this washer for 10 months and it is on the third drain pump.

In our home the washer needs to pump water vertically 78 inches into a lint filter. The filter then gravity drains into the waste pipe and prevents lint from entering and plugging up the septic system.

Many manufacturers specify the vertical lift their pumps are capable of, and most of them specify a range of 7-10 feet of lift. Although Bosch does NOT specify a lift rating (at least not one I could find) we liked our Bosch dishwasher so well we thought their washer would be built better than the crappy Frigidaire washer we had before. The Frigidaire had lots of problems but the drain pump was rock solid.

Anyway, the Bosch washer pump simply is not up to this task.

We spent the extra money for a top brand and are sorely disappointed with this washer.
