I wouldn't get a Bosch, just my experience though. Used to rate them but a washing machine I bought for £450 just over a couple of years ago would make me never buy again. 50% of the time the door interlock doesn't work and it just bleeps at you. You can sometimes be opening and closing the door, resetting the program for a couple of minutes to get it to start. It's had 3 new door/interlock switches, a new door and as a last resort a main PCB. When the PCB was replaced it stopped doing it for a couple of weeks, then slowly came back to how it has always been. It still does it and it's out of warranty, had 2 years. Bosch must've spent a fortune on it. I've just given up and live with it. Could've pushed it further, ran out of being arsed with the thing.
It's what you'd put up with a £150 Argos/Curry's Chinese special. My last £150 one lasted 6 years. I got the Bosch because you can replace the drum bearings, better for the environment than sealed bearing machines. If I could go back I'd of bought a Beko for half the price, with sealed bearings. This piece of crap doesn't even have a standalone spin cycle, like every cheapo machine I've had over the years does. I'd guess it's just made in China or Turkey with a nice fascia. It's an overpriced piece of mid-premium branded crap.
