Product review (5 stars): Happy with it for 5 years now
I got the Bosch Axxis plus washer and dryer in Jan 2009. Selected this model because I really wanted a front-loader but there were space considerations, and had to have it special-ordered (from Lowe's). Also, I only have one 220V outlet, but the dryer plugs into the washer so that wasn't an issue.

I've been very happy with my choice - it washes really well, has all the options I've ever needed and it's not loud. I like to pull the detergent drawer after each wash so that it dries well and I also use a microfiber cloth to wipe the gasket folds after use. After 5 years of use the gasket is as good as new.

I also don't share the load considerations mentioned in another review, for whites it handles a normal size load just fine - i.e. king size bed sheets, pillow cases, and 4-5 midsize towels. Washing just 2 pairs of jeans for me would be an inefficient use of water.
