Product review (1 stars): Brief Life Span
Purchased this unit to replace another Bosch model which lasted only six (6) years before being pronounced irreparable by Bosch. Unfortunately there are but a handful of washers suitably sized for the typical NYC apartment.
This machine (WAT28401UC) stopped working after only six weeks. I am now awaiting a replacement part (a new electronic control board). Bosch quality, at least when it comes to compact washers, is underwhelming. Once repaired, I have no reason to expect the machine will give me much more than five years of service, if that. I purchased an "extended warranty" and consider this more of an expensive lease than a true purchase.
