Before this machine I have semi automatic.machine, then I switched to top loading fully automatic now this is my third machin with front loading feature. Just want to share the brief difference and advantage of front load. In top load water is filled in the tub upto the level of clothes so that they are properly immersed in water but in front load water is just soaked in clothes so no tub is filled with water. Just because of this unique water soaking feature, helps in saving gallons of water. The other plus feature is that in front load the washing concept is similar to Dhobi wash, who used to wash clothes by beating clothes on flat surface and here front load machine do the similar job. Now coming to the product review I am satisfied with the look and performance of this machine. Easy to use with all necessary functions. Work smoothly with minimum noise and zero vibration. Finishing and built quality of this machine is of top notch category. 15/30 min quick wash is good feature. Water filter is included with this model, attached to the inlet. On time installation done by Bosch, Technician have give proper product demo and installation. 2 years extended warranty option was available by bosch at nominal price other than regular warranty period. With technician required accessories available at nominal price. Good quality of full body cover was available so I purchased it from the technician at Rs. 800, specially designed by Simens with hologram mark so ensures the product authencity. I will recommend to use good quality of detergent like surf excel mat specially available for front load machine. Cycle period for normal wash/Super clean wash is around 1 hour 5 minutes.
