A useful video. Thanks. I have had this model a month and it's been fine so far. It seems well built, fairly easy to use and quiet when running. I was looking for the simplest, easiest machine to use I could find. This was the only one that even vaguely fitted the bill ( there are still too many functions and things on it that make no sense) - one day, manufacturers will realise that less is more for many people and constantly adding 'features' is not what many people want, especially older people! I only ever use the quick wash and 1 hour mixed load wash. All the other programs are pointless for me as is the prewash nonsense, and I would certainly never use a program lasting over 3 hours!
Just press speed perfect and they will become normal 1-2 hour programs, they make them long so the heating process is more spread out and gives the machine a better energy rating so more people will buy it
I still occasionally use the prewash cycle...usually for decorating dust sheets followed by a boil wash. Or for cleaning cloths. I’m a little old fashioned I guess, I only have white bedding, white towels and cleaning cloths...keeps laundry simple, in my opinion...
I don't think the 60°c and 90°c cotton washes include a prewash, pretty sure it's only the 40°c one (but confusing labeling by bosch either way). Also think you should've mentioned the speed perfect option earlier in the vid, a lot of people would find 3hr normal cotton washes unacceptable, only to realise it's half as much with speed perfect. Otherwise good though
I really like my Bosch washing machine. It’s great. Not the quality of my previous Miele but it’s a much better machine. The Miele was just poor. Another great video. Thanks.
I use quick wash for almost everything 40 deg and 1200 spin- i just do it twice if i have soiled things. Or i do a quick rinse and spin on 1400 after. Often one 29 min quick wash on 40 deg and 1200 spin is enough. Only thing is not to overload and if slightly over 4kg, i wet washing before putting into machine. . I use mixed load cycle on 60 deg for linen. Odd load i use the cottons or shirts wash. Just 2 adults in house so works for us. A 2-3 hour wash would never suit me, i just want it done. Anything very dirty goes into tub to soak overnight before washing.
Two retired adults here so i rarely use the other cycles - i make life as simple as possible for myself- and soak things overnight in the wash trough . Not much use for a washing basket- it gets put straight into machine- wools on cold 29 mins. Or 2 piles snd two fast washes.,i use a hslf cup white vinegar in rinses.,looks good as new always! Ive got the time to fruitle now so i hang it all out carefully and in winter i do same but do a quick tumble dry or put in room with woodheater overnight. Very seldom need an iron or steamer either now. 30 mins cycle every second or third day covers mist things for me
Hi, excellent tutorial. So unless you change the spin speed every load will be spun at 1400. I need a machine with at least 1400 on most loads, rather than re spinning every load Many thanks Jo
I currently have a Bosch series 6 washing machine in silver I absolutely love it. I was just wondering if I was to move to somewhere that had an integrated kitchen how would I go about putting my freestanding washing machine into the kitchen? Would I just need to remove the plinth at the bottom? The dimensions are pretty standard. Thanks so much.
Many thanks. We recently acquired this model and would be clueless without this video: the instruction manual has clearly been drafted by an oaf and has about as much clarity as Biden on a bad day.
I always prewash whites, then wash at 95 degrees! Sometimes i use the prewash on other washes, on minimum iron 40, my machine defaults on 40 on that programme
If you are looking at the Miele, then you really need to be comparing that to one of the higher end Bosch machines, not the basic model in the range. That way the spec on the Bosch may be better and have a better warranty too.
The prewash is only for the 40 degree wash, 60 and 90 are without prewash. I dont really see the point myself i think they should have had something else instead of the 40 prewash cycle

Its crazy how long long these wash cycles are.Max time I would use is 1 hour
Just press speed perfect and they will become normal 1-2 hour programs, they make them long so the heating process is more spread out and gives the machine a better energy rating so more people will buy it
For me darks go on a mixed load 40°c around 1h, whites go on cotton 60c, towels on 70c or 90c depending on dirt and bedding on 60c or 70c.

Brilliant washing habits, keep doing what you do! Don’t buy into this cold washing bollocks

Glad you're happy with your Bosch machine, they are good appliances.
Thanks for the kind feedback 😊

How about for all your daily wear use mixed 40 or cotton 20 speed

@@Emmajaymusic I use easy care 30 with speed quite often and mixed load 60 for towels and bedding
How do you turn the chime off at the end of the cycle. Followed the instructions in the book but won’t enter the basic menu
Yes I do still use pre-wash
ok, the drum has changed and upgraded

I’ve just received mine. My old Bosch had a ‘rinse hold’ feature, but this new one doesn’t have it….unless I’m missing something?

In theory, yes it should just go in if you cut the plinth at the bottom of the machine

Bosch really should simplify their model numbers.
Everything means something
Please which buttons should I use to deactivate the Key for children safety? I cant remove it please a little help!
If you press the "Spin Speed" and "Finish in" buttons at the same time for 3 seconds , that will deactivate the child lock.
Im confused. Can i put an 8 kilo wash on the fast 30 min ?
No you can't wash a full load in 30 minutes on this machine
I am really torn between this model and the Miele
WWK360 Freestanding Washing Machine, 10kg Load, 1400rpm, White
If you are looking at the Miele, then you really need to be comparing that to one of the higher end Bosch machines, not the basic model in the range. That way the spec on the Bosch may be better and have a better warranty too.
@@lords-electrical Thank you 🙏
Please someone can explain How to put down the beep? This sound is way too loud 😭
The prewash is only for the 40 degree wash, 60 and 90 are without prewash. I dont really see the point myself i think they should have had something else instead of the 40 prewash cycle
I agree, Prewash programs are very rarely asked about now on washing machines
@@lords-electrical I think they should have included an easy care or mixed load 60 degree wash cycle instead of the prewash 40 degree cycle
Show how to turn off sounds. Steps in instruction do not work.
