What is Bosch quality like?

Bosch are still considered a good make, although they are not as good as they used to be in the past. They've reduced quality and prices a lot since they used to be a big heavy washing machine. They are still one of the best available in their price range, but they can't escape the consequences of reducing prices so much.

I just bought one the other day for £50, 2nd-hand. It seems to work very well and the engineer who sold it to me said that Bosch is a good make.

Hello. Long wash times are common to all modern washing machines. People replacing an older washing machine usually blame their new one but they are all the same - Long wash times on washing machines As Peter says, warm washing is almost always due to the hot and cold fill supply being the wrong way round although most washing machines are now cold fill only. Make sure that old the hot supply hasn't been connected to the washing machine by mistake. It's not enough to just check the colour of the hoses or the taps because sometimes they are connected wrong by the "plumber".

assuming its a hot and cold fill might be worth checking that the taps are fitted correctly or the taps themselves are not the wrong way around. i.e. your hot tap is actually connected to cold supply.
