Product review (1 stars): Don't even think about buying a Bosch product.
I have owned this piece of crap washer since 2005 and it has failed numerous times. I spend more than $1,200.00 in 2005 for a hunk of junk. The motherboard failed just after the warranty was up at the 3 year mark. Then it started vibrating and making more noise like a jet engine. The dryer version of this product is equally bad. If I were a German engineer, I would be embarrassed.
To add insult to injury, Bosch customer service does not care about their customers. They are quick to tell you that a service call will cost you $99 and that covers the first 18 minutes. After that, it will cost you $120.00 an hour just for the repairman's time. And then there are the very expensive parts. Bottom line...don't buy Bosch products. I now understand why my appliance repairman of 30 years told me that he won't service  Bosch products and he wished me good luck in finding a repairman who would not take me to the cleaners. Shame on Bosch!
