Bosch makes good stuff (& selling point is quietest dishwashers in market)
depends.
Had washer and dryer from Bosch. Washer at 8 years still running, but I do not use my shirts into the washer as it has few times ripped my shirt in the long sleeve side. I told my members at home that the long sleeve place must be dirty and in trying to clean it, the machine has ripped it.
As to the dryer, it was a disaster. After 3-4 years, the drum was making noise. Called the Bosch authorized technician and charged me visitation fee for the visit, but the visit paid off as he could remove something that caught inside the drum.
Again in 1.5 years later another drum noise problem (much larger noise and stopped using the dryer). Called the Bosch technician and paid the visitation fee, but upon dismantling the drum, the liners around the drum seems to have worn off and need a new drum which is going to cost another few hundred dollars. Decided it is not worth to spend more and more dollars and to replace with new dryer. So incurred the visitation fee for the Bosch technician coming to find out the problem, headed to the Appliance store to buy whirlpool dryer. I love this whirlpool dryer as compared with Bosch.
The Manager at Appliance store asked we why I did not call him as I could have saved the visitation fee. Told him that did not know that I got replace the drum on the second time.
Find that Bosch has exit the separate washer and dryer machine business and only selling the stacked washer/dryer ones.
Will not buy the Bosch brands again whether it is washer or any appliance for that matter because the washer was ripping clothes and dryer did not last the 5 year expectation and was start to give problems in 3-4 year.
