Reliable in years 1–5, watch the drum at year 7+.

Bosch washing machines score +0.10 across 64 reports — mildly positive, consistent with the brand's premium positioning.

Top failures: drum bearings (8), control-board issues (5), and noise (5). Drum-bearing complaints at this volume are worth flagging — bearings typically fail at the 8–10 year mark and are an expensive out-of-warranty repair (often £200–£400). The community reads as "reliable in years 1–5, watch the drum at year 7+."

Bosch's Serie 6 and Serie 8 ranges remain a defensible premium choice; the bearing pattern is a long-term ownership consideration, not a deal-breaker.

Selection bias caveat: community posts are skewed toward problems and complaints. This is not a reliability score; survey corroboration ships with the year-2 Reliability Index.
