This Bosch did brilliantly in our washing tests, and we were hugely impressed by its ability to remove stubborn stains. It cleaned equally well on both of the programs we tested and followed this up with a decent rinse and an exceptionally effective spin. It’s not the most energy efficient model on test, but we think that’s a small price to pay for such amazing results, which is why we’ve given it our Best Buy label.
