Product review (1 stars): Gets a 1 because 0 is not an option
I bought the Bosch Vision 500 Series washer and dryer in January 2011 after buying my house. It is now September of 2013 and I have had to replace both units. Don't waste your money on Bosch units. Even before having to replace the 2 units they were nothing but problems. The washer had door latch problems about 3 different times. The lock would not release and I had to take the front panel off to pull a cable release to get my clothes. This happened so many times I just left the panel off. The lock finally just failed. The dryer then stopped working just after the warranty expired. It will run but no longer heat. The price the repair people wanted was a joke. Replaced it with the Maytag Maxima and it runs great.

Now the washer just started leaking. These units really stink. I am about to replace it with the matching Maytag. I chose to go with Maytag because of past positive experience but there are also some great machines by LG, Samsung and Whirlpool just don't buy Bosch. They are overpriced paperweights.
