Product review (3 stars): save some money, buy the maytag compact
I bought the Bosch washer and dryer because I had to have the compact size, and I thought I would get the (supposed) best brand on the market. While the units may be quality-engineered, the running features leave a lot to be desired. I knew going in that the capacity was small; I get that. But there are default settings that cannot be overridden. For example, if you choose the quick cycle, you cannot choose either "hot" water or extra rinse. Also, the spin default is "regular", so if you want to spin extra water out of the load you must then put it on the "spin" only cycle for extra time. As other posters have mentioned, the dryer takes FOREVER to dry the clothes. It gets merely "warm", and there is NO heat selection choice. You have regular dry, less dry or extra dry, but they all seem to be the same, and the dryer has an annoying feature wherein if you open the door to check on the clothes, as soon as it starts up again, it stops to "check" on the moisture level every few seconds, and then gives up drying. There is a 40 min timed-cycle choice, but I usually have to use that AFTER I've used the "extra dry" cycle. The bleach dispenser in the washer is poorly located so that you will almost certainly spill bleach while pouring. I gave up and just poured it in with the liquid detergent. Bottom line.. I have a Maytag compact set in another residence that is much more user-friendly, and a lot cheaper to buy. I should have stayed with a Maytag.
