Product review (1 stars): Worst appliances I have ever owned!
Purchased a washer and dryer set in November of 2008. Dryer never dried correctly from day 1. Had the serviceman out 4 times for the same problem within 4 weeks. Bosch said I could not return the item since I had it past the return date. Told them it that's because the repairman had to come back 4 times to fix the problem and it still doesn't work right. They did not care. Luckily the manager at Lowe's said I could take it back to the store for a replacement. The replacement one works fine.

Now for the washer! I purchased the 4 year extended warranty. Came home last night, of course, 6 weeks after warranty ended to find my mud room flooded. Washing machine had stopped and was leaking out of the back somewhere. Pulled machine from wall and switched it to drain. Heard water pumping out. Then I switched it to spin. Drum would not turn. Took back off the machine figuring the belt had broken. Belt was good. So I took the soaking wet clothes out and restarted the machine. As the water filled the machine should agitate but it did not. Then I noticed water pouring out of the back again. Then I saw there was a crack in the plastic drum along the bottom and water was pouring out thru the split. The replacement drum housing and what ever is causing the drum not to spin will cost more than a new machine. So I will need to buy a new washer after 4 years and 6 weeks of use. Never have I had this many problems with any appliance manufacturer until a purchased a BOSCH product!!!! Lesson learned! NEVER AGAIN!!!!
