I've had a Bosch Nexxt 500 Plus washer for 1.5 yrs now and hate it. Yes, its quiet, but it does not effectively clean our clothes. Even simple spots with pretreat that wouldn't have needed pretreat in my old top load washer don't come out after 2 and 3 washes. I've followed all the suggestions/instructions the manual offers to no avail. Also, the wash is rarely done when the timer says, so what used to take me 1 day to do all our weekly laundry now takes me 3 days with many wasted trips down the stairs thinking the wash should be done only to find out it is not. Socks are continually getting stuck in the door gasket, and though it says to put them in a laundry bag, this does not get them clean. The door is constantly slamming on me as I try to remove clothes from it despite the adjustments available (and our floor is level). I shouldn't have to keep something nearby to always prop the door open. The manual doesn't provide practical or helpful information about the cycles either. I have never been so dissatisfied with a product in my life. If I could have my top load Whirlpool back, I'd take it in a minute and live with the occasional tear in the bed sheet from the agitator. At least it cleaned my family's clothes, and in 1 day.
