Product review (2 stars): Buy a Whirlpool. this is adequate but slow, noisy, poor design
This unit (with its "take forever to dry" 220V dryer) fits a tight closet, like in our one BR condo. Thats why we bought it. Its attractive. Those are its pluses. But beware: Its small size makes it suitable for very small loads only, like one set of sheets from the bed or a couple bath towels. The wash quality is adequate.

Cons: It takes a long while to do a load as it spends half its operating cycle time reversing directions. The operating manual is horribly written, poorly laid out, general to dozens of models, and yet the washer controls are cryptic at best - but you will figure it out after a while, mostly anyway. I am sure there are some special features that this engineer has yet to determine.

We have not had a mold problem yet, but the door seal promotes water retention and you have to dry it after each use (this is obvious) - Bosch needs to ask a college senior design group to redesign what their careless engineers cannot.

I cannot recommend this unit unless it is your only option (we had to have something to fit a 24 inch space). Then it is adequate performance, but expensive for what you get with high maintenance after each use. I prefer our old Whirlpool.
