Pros: Efficient and economical to operate. High spin speed reduces dryer time. Gets stains out.
Cons: User must read manual. Too much detergent causes suds problems. Imbalanced loads impede spin.
The Bottom Line: Buy it, read the manual, and save money with every load you wash.

| mpkucher's Full Review: Bosch WFMC 3200 Front Load Washer |
Have owned this machine 2.5 years and still love it.
It's like a BMW, has to be used correctly. Needs to be well installed, balanced and leveled. When it is, it works great. You might not be able to fill it to top capacity, we've backed off the 18 pound per load regime we had been following because too often the laundry would need to be redistributed to get it to spin at max velocity.
It uses very little water and still gets out stains left from our last washer that we thought were "permanent".
The one thing to know is that it is very finicky about suds. Not only does one have to use an HE detergent, but one must not use too much. How much? I called Bosch about suds preventing the water from draining and they said with soft water (as we have in Seattle), ONE TABLESPOON OF DETERGENT FOR A NORMAL LOAD. Which, in the end, is great news, because this machine uses so little electricity and water per load that a "normal" helping of detergent would have been the user's biggest per-load expense.
Love that it can wash my woolens without bending them.
User can access lint filter in front, but the sharp edges of steel.
Finally, I think leaving the door open between loads prevents moldy smells.
