    This is the only in-depth review I’ve found on YouTube. Thanks so much for this as I’ve just purchased this machine! Also I like the fact it has a 50c wash as most modern day machines don’t have that temperature. Keep up the great work.

    Thanks mate - great review, outstanding machine. My Serie 8 is now 3.5 years old and hasn't missed a beat or required any maintenance since day 1, other than once getting clogged on missed pocket contents (mushed up business cards) - which is super easy to fix given the front location of the drain valve and filter. Really well put together machine that speaks 'German engineering'.

    Great review! I have the Series 6 washer dryer (German model). Interesting to see the option on your machine to select a 50°C temperature. I wish mine did this! Also good to know the relative water levels for each programme.

    Very helpful. Ordered one today, replacing my 16 year old Daewood top loader ($370aud) I bought when I started uni!

    Ps. Just bought a series 6 with idols. Previous washer still works but serious bearing noise on spin which I fear might cause ear damage. When the Bosch series6 comes on Thursday the noisy machine will be banished to the garage
  • My wife and I bought a pretty similar one with Idos system but it's the serious 6 model . We are pretty excited test it

    Good review, in the manual it says the base dosage amount you enter should be based on 4-5 kg load not 9 kg.
  • @cal87249
    You have to watch the basic dosage on the product label, for 4 kg because it dose on the effectively weight of the closeth that you are washing, you just have to set the basic dosage for normal soil level and for 4 kg machine, and depend on your area for soft or hard area.

    Best review i have ever seen!
  • @cal87249
    Acqua plus add water during the main washing and also an extra rinse
  • @RdashP
    The casing depth of all 9KG Series 8 connected laundry washing robots is 40mm more than advertised by Bosch: 630mm instead of 590mm. So please be careful when ordering if your installation depth is limited

    Great review! I believe that Bosch has the best and the most perfect drum cleaning program among all of the washers in addition to it's other effective washing programs. I have home professional serie and it's really fantastic.

    Hi guys, need some help . I own bosch serie 8 i-dos and didn’t use softener (by turn i-dos off). but when I open the softener compartment , it contain fews of water inside. What happened ? Any idea to solve this problem?
  • @DebB0601
    Thanks for this review - I purchased this last week based on your review and I love the machine so far. Like you said, it is very quiet and washes everything very well. The iDos seems great! Only one thing I am not sure about - I have noticed that about 50-60ml of water remains caught in the rubber door seal at the end of the wash, on whatever program I use. Is that normal and do you have to soak up that water & wipe the door seal dry every wash?
