Hello

New to forum so hello All.

I'm looking to buy a new Bosch washing machine. I have norrowed down to the series 6 washing machine. From what I've read the difference between these machines is one has I DOS system which uses just the right amount of detergent for each wash and the other doesn't have it. I reality how well does this system work or is just a nucence and I am better off with the one that doesn't have this option?

Thanks

Buying advice on Bosch WGG254Z0GB versus WGG254F0GB

The problem
The user was choosing between Bosch Series 6 washing machines WGG254Z0GB and WGG254F0GB and asked whether the i-DOS automatic detergent dosing system was worthwhile or a nuisance.
Likely cause
No appliance fault was reported. The accepted reply expressed a preference against i-DOS because it adds complexity, means more parts could potentially fail, and uses liquid detergent, which the reply associated with machine cleanliness and odour concerns.
What fixed it
The accepted advice was to prefer the model without i-DOS if the buyer does not specifically want automatic liquid detergent dosing. The exact purchase decision was not confirmed in the discussion.

I have no direct experience with these DOS systems but I instinctively do not like them. They add extra complexity and therefore more parts to go wrong, and of course they will cost more. But, I do not see the point of them and they all use liquid detergent which I dislike too. Liquid detergent has historically contributed to dirty and smelly washing machines as they apparently cannot contain bleach they tend to cause a greasy coating. There's nothing wrong with putting your own detergent in as we have done for 60 years or more. But maybe I'm just behind the times and in a bit of a Luddite 🙂
