Great machine! Only snag is balancing…why doesn’t the drum turn opposite way to evenly distribute?? BSH/Siemens always been like this, you think they’d improve by now!
@@Benbowrainbow Hey! Thanks for your comments :) I know what you mean about the balancing. It is definitely a fussy machine and sometimes rebalances perfect load distributions, but given how it washes I'll let that slide 😂 Regarding the Power speed 59 programme, I tend to find that choosing other parameters with the Super quick 30 programme can bring it close to 1 hour which is nice! Unfortunately, I don't know how many machines it's affected, but I've seen on TH-cam and on the internet, examples of the Siemens machines failing to stop spinning on the final spin of the 59' programme, but I'm hoping this has been fixed now, or soon, with a software update 😎
@ oh we probably dodged a bullet there then perhaps! Like you say the wash quality is fantastic and it’s fast and efficient. I’ve found that if no major stains, mixed load prg can get through as much (if not more) as powerwash in the same time and even delicates cycle uses 4D jet system so you’d be surprised at how efficient washing and rinsing is (I use the no spin option (+mini load sometimes) and then run a separate spin 1000-1400 for heavier items) Also I actually prefer the styling on the Bosch compared with the Siemens, and it’s better not to have the dial that protrudes out if like us it’s near a cupboard or back door like mine. Btw I had an app issue recently where the drum clean programme dropped off but I emailed customer support and they eventually fixed the bug - but very frustrating as I had to deregister and reinstall everything several times! 😤😂
and why should the drum rotate in the other direction if the laundry is already well distributed? I have the previous top version of Bosch Home Professional and I did not notice that the washing machine did not rotate the drum in both directions when distributing the load.
@bartk4458 it often isn’t well distributed and I’ve often witnessed Bosch machines attempt distribution in one direction multiple times (sometime for up to 10 mins), only to find when I press pause to open the door and manually turn in the opposite direction it distributes well straight away spins smoothly
@@Benbowrainbow I don't know the problem, everything has been perfect for me for over 8 years. Failure-free operation without any repairs. maybe older models worked more efficiently.
both powerspeed 59' and mytime are siemens's features, of course they wouldnt exist on bosch. just use mix as a 1 hour cycle it is WAY better than powerspeed 59'
@@washerenjoyer powerspeed 59 used to be available on previous Bosch series 8 models so I assumed it would be on the new. Yes mix works well as a daily/all-in-one/absolute wash on all levels (providing load isn’t heavily stained or soiled)
Nice machine!!!

Also, I was disappointed this model (unlike it’s Siemens equivalent) didn’t have ‘59 powerwash or myTime on the app when I bought it 😢
