Bosch Logixx WTS 86516

quiet operation feels well built

cycle times too long, I am currently waiting for an engineer to call on 4/12/07 as it has broken already. it has also shrunk a lot of my clothes. I have only had it a couple of months not as reliable as other bosch items I have.

No short hot wash. No half load wash.

Glass door with interior light.

Very clear display. Easy to setup and use. 1600 spin speed means the clothes come out almost totally dry. Fantastic cleaning results even on mixed loads and difficult stains! This is the best washing machine I have ever used.

Probably has too many programmes, I can't see myself ever using some of them. Always seems to leave a tiny trace of powder in the softener compartment. The end of cycle beep is incredibly annoying but thankfully it can be switched off!

the quietness

the constant beeping when a cycle has finished or nearly finished

all good

none

Looks good and is easy to use. Emptying the container is the hardest bit but only because its a bit time consuming as our machine is in the cellar.

Does seem to take a long time to dry bulkier loads but as this is our first drier it could be the norm.

Very efficient
