Product review (1 stars): I should really give it no stars
The only reason I'm giving my Bosch NEXXT washer any stars is because it's lasted seven years, albeit all but having shaken itself to death.  That's both a blessing and a curse.  Had it died I've have been put out of my misery.  Pros:  It's quiet(ish).  You will have to bolt it to the floor like most front loaders though.  I also like the fact it heats its own water which lets me keep my water heater set only high enough for a comfortable shower.  Cons:  Oh where do I start.  The design is apparently to save water.  It doesn't use enough water, particularly in the wash cycle, to do the job.  I find I have to add anywhere from a quart to a whole gallon of water to the wash cycle (depending on load size) to be sure all the clothes get wet, much less clean.  I've taken clothes out of the washer after a complete cycle which still stunk of B.O!  It takes forever and sometimes doesn't get up to full speed on the extraction (rinse) cycle.  I have to watch it to make sure it actually does get up to full spin.  I've taken clothes out after the washer is done that not only are soaking wet but soapy too; which tells me it never fully extracted after any of the cycles.  How's that for an "automatic" washer!  And then worst of all, both manufacturer and dealer support is disgraceful.  I've been told to use different soap, use less soap (<2 tbs.), run an empty load of vinegar water once a month, all blaming me for this terrible design, and never owning up to actually trying to do anything to make things right.  I know I'm overreacting, but I'll never buy another Bosch product again nor will I shop at this retailer ever again.  Shame, shame, shame.  (actual model number of my 2004 model:  WFMC3200UC/01).
