The big mistake many Bosch washing machines is "SpeedPerfect". 2 hrs. And 43 min. Without Speed and 1 hr. 18 min. With speed. With speed, the laundry is not clean and without speed, the washing time is too long. This is a non-thinking along from the design engineers. An average would have been right !!! My predecessor washers had a duration of about 1 hr. And 45 min. And everything was clean. I am retired, have therefore a relatively long time, but 2 / forty-five minutes are too long. You have to yes during the term of stay in the vicinity of the machine, because if something happens, for example, water outlet and one is absent - the house insurance pays nothing !! 2 Known have experienced.
