a welcome upgrade from the old top loader,

This review is from: Bosch Nexxt 500 Plus Series : WFMC5301UC 27 Front Load Washer
After three years the washer is still working great.
We had an old sears 'lady kenmore" that died and this was our replacement machie. What I like about this machine: 1. The greater rpm on the drum wrings a lot more water out of heavy towels and blue jeans. If you hang dry your laundry this is a very good thing. Towels used to take up to three days to dry (in winter months) now they only take a couple of hours. Clothing will dry in minutes depending on fabric thickness. 2. Laundry seems to come out cleaner. 3. Water and soap consumption are reduced. 4. Machine is quiet What I sometimes find annoying: 1. Cycles sometimes take forever and the lcd timer is anything but accurate. 2. Small items, like ankle socks will sometimes end up in the space near the door gasket so you have wring them out. 3. When the cycle is finished, the machine keeps buzzing at you repeatedly. I would prefer one 'ding" or "honk" or whatever and then be done with it. Overall, I am happy with the machine. It is way way better than the top loading antique we were using!!! Some people write about the detergent being a problem for front loaders. I have found the liquid biodegradable detergent from costco works fine and is cheaper than the powder detergents overall. Just don't use too much or you will have bubbles everywhere...I speak from experience!

Fabulous,
This review is from: Bosch Nexxt 500 Plus Series : WFMC5301UC 27 Front Load Washer
Washer is great!
We got ours in April 2009, so we have had it over six months now. - Water bill has been cut by approximately 1/3 ($720 down to $480 per year). - Water savings alone mean it will pay for itself in less than four years. - Machine uses about half the amount of laundry detergent per load than our old machine. - Capacity is enormous. We do about half the loads we used to. You will be surprised how much you can fit in one load. - I'm sure the hot water bill is less also, but I can't quantify those savings since we got a new furnace around the same time. - Clothes take much less time to dry because they are so much drier when they come out of the washer. - Quiet. Quality machine, no problems. The new high-efficiency washers are very different from your old top loader. Most of the complaints that you will read about are caused by improper installation or use. - The washer *must* be adjusted to be level in order to work properly. The clothes will not be spun properly if it's not level. - Don't use too much soap - if you do, you will have electrical and other problems - You *must* use high efficiency laundry detergent - If you leave the door closed all the time, you will get mold. You have to leave the door ajar when not in use. - The wash cycle does take longer than a traditional top loader, but you make up for it in the dry cycle. - It will look like there is almost no water in the machine when it is running. It is designed to work this way. The clothes do get clean! It's true that the clothes are often twisted when you pull them out. I give each item a quick shake to straighten them out, then toss them in the dryer. Unless your dryer is broken, don't bother getting a new one. You won't need it. The only negative: you can't do small, heavy loads very well. When I need to wash the bath rug, I have to wash it with other items (like old towels) or the washer won't run properly (because of how it needs to spin).

Works well low energy,
This review is from: Bosch Nexxt 500 Plus Series : WFMC5301UC 27 Front Load Washer
The washer washes cloths. There is a lot less lint so I think it is better on the cloths. It takes much longer than the old top loader. It is quiet. No musty smell but we use it every day. It uses very little water and looking through the door the cloths do not even look soaked. The power bill dropped about 10 to 15 dollars with this washer over the last one. The cloths come out clean but nothing spectacular, most washers make the cloths come out clean. You still have to pretreat collars and stains. The extra high temp setting makes one feel the towels are sanitary but the dryer gets about that hot so the sanitizing effect is redundant unless you hang your laundry. Had it for over two months and hope it lasts. A lot of money for a washer and dryer set though. It is nice not having the dog go nuts when the washer hits the spin cycle. The matching dryer keeps trying to stop early so some of the cloths are still damp. I think the dry sensor is off a bit so you have to set it for dryer than normal. Minor inconvenience.
