Product review (2 stars): not the quality I expected
There are various things that have been mentioned or addressed by others that are annoyances etc.  The kicker for me is that we bought our set in March 2010; I started getting E17 errors just under 2 years later.  That error is caused by water sitting in the base of the unit and tripping the float switch installed on the washer floor - water that came from a faulty water control valve/solenoid.  The part was replaced under warranty, but of course the labour was not.  While the local service people were good, the Bosch service center response left a lot to be desired.
Now, about 14 months later... the same problem again.  In other words, I'm looking at another service bill to fix this thing which will bring the total cost of repair to approximately 1/2 of the original cost of the washer... and it is just over 3 years old running about 4 loads a week.
There are some stupid design things on the companion dryer as well... over all I expected much more from Bosch - the Axxis unit we had before worked great for a long time).  Doubt I will be buying a Bosch again.
