There isn’t a lot of between the different F&p front loaders , mainly different features and cycle options
I got this washer last May ($1055), it has been excellent. It runs fairly quiet for a washer (I can leave the laundry door open and not be bothered by it), the fastest spin doesn't rumble the washer all that much and you can stack a dryer on it just fine, I do, no brackets just a rubber mat between them. Detergent container is always clean (no left over or crusty build up).
I've also noticed even on a normal cycle, it is gentler on clothing than my old top loader. Towels that my old washer was progressively shredding, are not shredding any further in this one. T-shirts are lasting longer, undies aren't stretching as fast etc.
Needless to say, the delicate program is even better, I have no fear putting even my wife's most elaborate garments in to that cycle.
Naturally it also cleans the clothes rather well ;)
"it is gentler on clothing than my old top loader"
This is the main advantage of front loaders - they don't wreck your clothes. No matter what advancements in energy and water usage or "I can add stuff during a cycle" a top loader might achieve, it cannot avoid its principle disadvantage in that it must use a spindle to physically agitate the clothes in the water. There is no way around the extra wear and tear, and potential for damage, that this does to your clothes. Compared to a top loader which uses gravity to gently tumble clothes around in the water without having to "grab" at them.
Description of "Delivered" is misleading. It is limited.
"There are no delivery options to this area" is my delivery option !
Update to reflect free delivery for Metro Area Only.
Bought this in March 2017, use it a few times and week and it’s been going well. I personally don’t think it’s a quiet machine on spn, and the pump is also noisy, but I haven’t had many washing machines.
I have noticed it is not good at getting out dog smells form clothes if it’s near fully loaded, probably due to its high water efficiency. Also it does not fit a queen duvet.
If it's fully loaded, turn off the speedperfect setting. It's only rates for 9kg with it off.
Does shopback/CASHREWARDS work if paying with gift cards?
T&c’s on the shopback/cashrewards sites suggest purchases with gift cards “may not” qualify.
You might find the same problem that I had buying from DJ - they don't have stock, just a sample machine in each shop, so you have to order in store or over the the phone meaning no cashback.
I’ve put my order through online. Got vouchers for 8% off and did cash rewards at 5% (couldn’t be bothered setting up shopback for another .5%).
When going through the checkout it clearly stated purchases with gift cards were eligible.
Total price will come up to $838. Not as good as the $805 good guys deals as mentioned by another poster but not a bad deal!
You got it for $838 delivered from Bosch (which includes install/removal of your old appliance). The $805 deal was for click and collect, so $838 is definitely not a bad deal!
It was selling for $895 at Harvey Norman, sale ended 31 Dec 2018. I bet there will be another sale cheaper than this.
Machine died last night and urgently needed one. I got Appliances Online to match price and they have it in stock and can come next business day. No need to wait!
This is a much better machine than the Fisher Paykel J3 - if anything this should be compared to the fabric smart F1 model (~$900 on appliances online). Don't forget to use shopback 5.5% (10% ended yesterday, unfortunately) plus discount gift cards.
Also, keep in mind that appliances purchased through DJ's can be a little frustrating - they forward the purchase onto the manufacturer, Bosch in this case. Bosch then processes the order and organise delivery with you. Delivery can take 1-3 weeks.
