EcoSilence Drive: durable, extraordinarily quiet and efficient.

The level of noise in your house can often make or break your day. Especially when you want to have dinner in peace and quiet with your family. Bosch's EcoSilence Drive is so quiet, that sometimes you may forget that your washing machine is on. Equipped with a brushless, energy-efficient motor that optimally reduces friction noise and is quiet in operation with an especially long life.

Image Feature

The perfect wash for everything dirty, delicate and in between.

Expensive and delicate clothes can end up ruined after just one wash. Our wave-shaped structured drum delivers a powerful yet gentle wash. Depending on the cycle, the washer adjusts the direction of the drum rotation, using steeper edges for heavy duty or shalow edges for delicate fabrics that require gentler care and no snagging or stretching to your clothes. This ensures an intensive clean for more heavily soiled garments, and a quicker, thorough clean for the entire load. So you can treat your wardrobe to a professional-quality clean.

Professional delivery is available for every product we sell. We would be happy to coordinate delivery for you.

Extended warranties are usually very inexpensive and can save you thousands in the future. Some can even cover extra costs that result, such as cost of food that spoils when your fridge dies. It's simple and inexpensive to purchase extended warranties and one of the smartest ways to protect your investment.

Appliances can be large, heavy and expensive. You probably don't have the special tools or expertise needed to fix them in a crisis. If you can spare a few thousand dollars without batting an eyelash for new appliances should they break tomorrow, don't buy a warranty. But if you're like most of us, protect yourself by purchasing inexpensive extended warranties when you buy a new product and save yourself big money in the long run.

Still working well as it turns 6 years old

Whidbe Steve 3/17/2022

I am still peased with this Series 500 Bosch clothing washer. I has more than enough options to wash all of our clothes effectively without damaging any of them. It is a septic friendly device.

Conflicted

RJdV 3/9/2022

I'm still on the fence on this. I like it adjusts the time depending on how much soap you use, but I've had to use 1/2 loads worth of soap instead of 1 as it foamed too much and 1hr15 minutes got adjusted to 1hr45 minutes with it adjusting multiple times so I didn't get a good sense of when it would be done and how to plan for it. It also shakes a lot where even heavier items fell off within seconds so I'm going to have to get some padding under it to prevent it from shaking like crazy. That said, it cleans very well and it comes with a lot of presets, which is good if unlike me, you don't know how to control settings for optimal use.

Very finicky

mamazo 2/28/2022

Works well when it does, and we love the "extra hot" option for whites. However: it is super sensitive to the weight of the load, or to bunching, and if it doesn't like the way the load is distributed, it just won't spin. Since there is no "spin only" cycle, our only option is to remove some of the items, sopping wet, and run the "rinse and spin" cycle, which is 22 minutes long. Sometimes we have to repeat this process a few times. A very frustrating and wasteful experience. I would never purchase this item again.

Still Going Strong

Mark H. 1/22/2022

We've had this washer for 3 years now. The controls are easy to understand and use. We've had zero problems with this machine, which gets used for 4 to 5 loads per week. It is very quiet in operation, even when running at the highest spin speeds. Laundry comes out clean every time and when using the recommended detergents and amounts, rarely needs to run an extra rinse. Even though it is a compact machine, it can handle any load with ease. This machine is built to last.

Very, very pleased with the performance.

Bill 9/7/2021

I was very limited by space so I was very happy to find this compact washer. It does an excelent job of getting my laundry super clean while still being gentle. There is enough options to customize the wash cycle to wash everything from bulky blankets to the most delicate of fabrics. I use laudry sheets instead of liquid detergent because of the plastic waste liquids create. My old washer never disolved the sheets fully, this unit has no problems disolving them. I also love how little water it uses, I've noticed a significate drop in water bill. I highly recomend this little wonder.

Love my Bosch Washer

Vicki 8/1/2021

This compact washer runs circles around my full size Maytag washer! It is quiet. It cleans clothes like clothes are supposed to be cleaned! No soap scum left behind on black clothes. Everything is clean and rinsed well. I wash one set of king size sheets at a time with no problem. I had a hard time figuring out what the icons meant on the soap dispensing drawer but did finally get it. I have found that leaving the washer door open slightly after using definitely helps dry it out quickly with no smell like some washers get. This is a great good looking washer and dryer combo. I have mine side by side with a countertop over them.

Best Washing Machine

Lisa 6/24/2021

Even though this is compact, there is so much space in this washing machine. We only had a small space for this unit, and I can't believe how much better it is than our old GE washer. I love how little water it uses. I will be a Bosch fan for life because of this great little appliance.

carol 4/30/2021

This is my second Bosch washer, and there is a reason for that. I appreciate the quality, environmental sensibilities, and effectiveness of their machines. It's quiet (once I figured out how to turn of the reminder signal), does a great job, and provides many options for whatever I want to wash.

Pleased with this washer

Blair 2/23/2021

Overall pleased with my purchase. I've owned the Bosch washer for a little bit over a month so far, and no real complaints so far. It can be a bit loud for the couple minutes where the high spin is running, but genrally it's relatively quiet. Capacity is perfectly suitable for my one person household. The touchpad can be a bit finnicky and sometimes requires multiple pushes to turn on.

Cleanest

TRoss 2/19/2021

It takes quite a while for the washer to process through the cleaning processes, but I've never before had such clean results. It's quiet and efficient. A cousin in Finland recommended this machine; I'll continue to be her friend.

It's a dud

JoannaG 2/13/2021

Our brand new washer doesn't work. Apparantly needs to have the drum spin motor replaced. Same with the dryer - needs a heating unit replacement. Bosch is taking care of the repairs, but between scheduling and parts it's been a few months now without a working washer or dryer. Very dissappointed at this price point - these are major issues - the products are simply defective.

Great Bosch Washing Machine

Toby 1/25/2021

This our 2nd Bosch washing machine. The first wore out after years of reliable service. Love the compact, under the counter sized unit that is perfect for our laundry room. I do wish the new model had a spin-only cycle like our previous one so I could do an extra spin cycle for certain loads I hang to dry instead of running through the dryer.

Bosch 500 series washer

Love how quiet and efficient this washer is and how well the clothes are spun dry. It holds a large amount of clothes to wash considering it is called compact.

Continues To Be The Best Quality Product Available

VT59 1/24/2021

Our first BOSCH washerr was 16 years old when we replaced it with the new 500 series one - noy because the old one did not work - it was fine - but because we felt it was time. New one is even better - quiter and more efficient. You can not go wrong with this product.

If you have limited space for a washing machine this is the one for you. It can be stacked with the matching dryer and is super quiet!

nice washer

Fits great in my small space. However, it takes a longer time to wash items than in other washers I've owned.
