Bosch Nexxt300 WFMC220 Front Load Washer

After having a disaster with our Sears Kenmore in less than 4 years, we decided after researching and speaking to several independent repair technicians, that the Bosch Nexxt 300 Series was the way to go for us.  I was first impressed by how stout this machine is.  The door is attached by a thick hinge and closes with a firm thud.  This washer is very quite.  When doing a load of clothes, about the only sound we hear is the water valve closing.  The final spin is another story however.  The machine defaults to the Max Spin when you turn it on.  This can be noisy with some vibration as well.  I just scroll down to the gentle spin and the problem goes away.
The clothes come out very clean.  Everything from white tennis shoes to filthy gardening clothes are washed clean and smell fresh.  This machine uses very little water and detergent.  I like how the dispenser is located too.
Another feature I really like is the delay start option.  This allows us to put a load in and the machine will start at the appropriate time.  It not only saves energy, but helps to organize our time better as well.
We purchased this from a local authorized dealer that has been in business for over 50 years.  He also carries the other brands that have been reviewed on this site, and basically told us that the life span on this machine will be a lot longer.  Last, perhaps the most convincing testimony to it's durability is the fact a local guest house owns one of these.  This facility has about 20 people staying there at anytime, and laundry is included.  Their machine often handles 8-10 loads per day and does so without a hitch.
