Bosch Washing Machine Reviews

I bought a Bosch washing machine and dryer about one year ago.  The mold began to grow on the rubber gasket used to seal the door almost immediatey.  The Dealer said to run bleach through the machine periodically which I did but still the mold grew.  Multiple inquires to the dealer went unanswered ( Standards of Excellence_San Diego), referred to the manufactuers rep.....rude , unhelpful,non responsive.  I am in the market to replace both.....buyer beware!!!!

When I first bought this front loader, HD washing machine, evveryone told me I would be much happier wih it than my old fashioned top loader.  It does save me money, uses less water, washes well in cold water BUT  I don't think it is any better than my old machine.  It doesn't have as many options/as much flexibility in what it can do for me.  It uses special HE laundry detergent...which costs a little more.  It spins so fast that my whole house shakes, and I don't think the clothes are that much cleaner than with my old machine.
