My Review of Bosch Nexxt 500 Series WFMC3301UC

Originally submitted at AJ Madison

The best washer I have ever had

Describe Yourself: High-End Shopper, Practical

First, about AJ Madison: As it goes with these big web stores, there is not much human interaction. I did call them though (in the middle of the night) and their support staff were friendly, helpful and to the point. The whole transaction was incredibly smooth, they updated with emails about status and arrival date, and although I had chosen free 4-6 week shipping, to my delight the washer arrived only 2 weeks later. The freighter, Yellow, was also extremely professional, which is not always the case.
The washer itself: I am from Europe, and Bosch is a brand that has retained a good name and stands for high quality. Evidently, they're not about to tarnish this reputation with their US line of washers. This thing just works. It's huge, it's a very satisfactory to unpack and see the arrow for your model to the very left of the energy efficiency tag, I have read complaints on the web about moving across the floor during spinning, that's because these dodos forgot to remove the transport bolts despite the big warning labels all over. Mine spins at 1100 RPM (cuts down drying time from 70 to 30 minutes!!) and doesn't move a mil, and my floor is not very good. The amount of programs offered is more than adequate, I like to XXtra-Sanitary program that heats the water quickly to kill the germs without damaging sensitive garments. The laundry is clean and almost dry when it's done. If you want your laundry done in 20 minutes and don't care so much about cleanliness look elsewhere. If on the other hand you don't mind waiting an hour (or even 2 for XXtra-Sanitary program) there's no way past the Nexxt series. In Austria, they all take that long, and no, you can't have both.
