Product review (2 stars): Pretty is as pretty does
Bosch Nexxt 300 Series Washer & Dryer
Pros:  Good looks, quiet functioning, cleans clothing surprisingly well, low water usage.

Cons:  Extremely long cycles for both washer and dryer.  Is the trade off for water efficiency really worth the power it takes to run for an hour+/cycle for both washer and dryer unit (not to mention my time!)?  There is no such thing as doing a quick load of laundry with this pair.  Secondly, the max spin cycle can send it waltzing around the laundry room.  A serviceman gave us four .50 rubber pads for the feet of the washer for a $40 service charge and they work with minor adjustments every several loads.  Ugh.  And lastly, and most significantly, there is a mildew odor to the machine that makes it the most offensive.  I for one do not expect to clean or have someone clean my washing machine or to spend a dime on a product to eliminate mildew as was recommended by the serviceman.  This is not the forever washer I had hoped to have upon ordering it and would never buy another front loader as the cons outweigh the pros. If you are doing your homework and reading this, good for you.  I wish I had done so.
