Product review (1 stars): Smelly, Moldy, Noisy and Expensive to repair
Bosch Nexxt 500 plus will not allow you to do minor maintenance or repairs like other brands.  You will spend at least $200 for any repairs needed. It WILL require several visits from the repairman. This machine was built to require a technician. You can't even unscrew the drain pump and check for clogs.
If you don't leave the door open it will get moldy and smelly. The Bosch regularly requires running empty cycles with bleach to keep it from stinking. The rubber seal around the door opening gets moldy and requires a scrubbing with a chlorinated cloth. The Bosch Nexxt 500 plus will not get your whites white. They will always look dingy. The Bosch does not have many wash cycle options. You are stuck with 2 hr, 1 hr or 25 min cycles. BUY A LARGE TOP LOADER.  THE BOSCH IS A WASTE OF MONEY.
