Product review (1 stars): This appliance is a piece of crap!
We bought this machine in a box store in October 2008.  We've had two service calls on it in 8 months, both of which put my washer out of commission for at least a week, since Bosch only sends parts to its authorized repair shops on an as-needed basis--so it takes three days to get a service call, and then at least a week of waiting while they come to fix it (and fix it they will, over & over.)  The repair guy today told me the process is basically trial-and-error, so there would probably be more problems to come.
The machine's capacity is, in a word, underwhelming.  Half the time the spin cycle doesn't even get my clothing wrung out & I have to re-spin it (balance issues, I predict, but no repairman seems to really care that much...)  I think I gestated a child faster than some of wash cycles' timing (the base cycle is over an hour!  And then it adds on, based on weight & soil...).  My machine walks constantly all over the laundry room (seriously, I heft it back into place at least twice a month) and no repairman can seem to stop it (or even knows what might be wrong, other than, "Well, it's probably not level" when it's been leveled six times.)
If there were lemon laws for washers, I'd be one service call from being able to trade this sucker in...and believe me, it'd be gone as soon as I was able.  Never again.  Never Bosch.  Run for your life!!
