This purchase was a like-for-like replacement for a 12 year old Bosch washer dryer which was still going strong but the door catch had broken.
This model far superior: it has a larger capacity, gives excellent results in less time and is so incredibly quiet, even on a 1400 spin. For the quality it is excellent value for money and the new door catch design is huge improvement, with nothing to break this time. The only thing to bear in mind if you are installing the machine behind a cupboard door as I was, is that the overall depth of the machine does not include the domed clear plastic insert within the washing machine door.
