5.0 out of 5 starsBosch is the brand for Washing Machine
Reviewed in India on 23 July 2019
This review is based on a very first day impression and would keep on updating the same as I experience it more and more.
Well, first of all, after a long research on brands, capacity, front/top load options etc. I arrived at the decision to go for Bosch # 24463IN front load washing machine. (if you google around for all brands and types comparison you would come to how front load types are better than the top load ones.. no significant differentiator though)
Well, IFB v/s Bosch has been the main rivals in today’s world in my opinion and I opted to go for BOSCH based on my personal research and study so far!
Amazon Delivery : Stars 5/5
got this machine delivered in 3 days after placing the order. Actually Amazon does insist to block a delivery date and a time slot as per your convenience ay at the time of placing the order. And they kept their words. Good and thanks Amazon!
Cost to the Pocket : Stars 5/5
Grabbed the knocking deal on Amazon Prime day and saved around 5500 bucks than the normal offer. (4K for exchanging old full automatic 5 years old machine with 9k original price) and 1.5 K with ICICI credit card offer. So in total got this machine for 24K approx.. (that too with 0% interest EMI for 6 months.. cherry on top of a cake)
Product Installation: Stars 5/5
The Amazon outsourced installation guy called me to check the delivery status even before getting the actual delivery. He shared the number and asked me to call back once the delivery is done. Wow! That was a pleasant surprise! He came after the delivery and gave me a quick basic demo which is good enough if you already know how automatic washing machine typically work.. You need additional 250 cash for a water pipe inlet adapter to fit the water tap you have. Cant complaint!
Product Look and Feel: Stars: 5/5
Looks sturdy and heavy duty. I bought the White one (model # 24463IN, 8KG) and saved 2K as that of Silver. 2K for Silver color ? common ? not worth. The White looks more fresh and splashy. Trust me!
The Performance (this is what ultimate counts for me) : Stars: 4/5
The performance rating is based on first demo run. I would update continuously and genuinely over a period of time.. so wait and watch!
1. Easy and wide menu (touch screen). By default it sets 40 degree water temp for most categories. You can override it though if it is not really required
2. Noise level: Operation is quite. However, the noise that it makes during the spinning/drying is notable but this is pretty much the same across all top leading brands. No surprises..
3. Cleaning of cloths : good quality wash
4. Drying : average drying capacity (same as many other budget front/top load machines. The difference is unnoticeable) may be I tried only with Super quick mode only. Need more experiences
5. Overall: a good quality wash with minimum water
Verdict: A good deal with the given budget, brand and the features you get with the Bosch assurance. I would definitely recommend to go for BOSCH (a German tech that you can always rely upon)
I am reserving one star for performance as I have not tested all functions and features yet.. I know I will not be disappointed though.. :)
