iDos model - again not the cheapest on OzB but I've been watching this for a while and good enough for me to pull the trigger. Hope it helps anyone else who is after one.

One's a washing machine and the linked product a free Acer Tablet (A200) with Purchase of a Computer from a Limited Range @ Harvey Norman 😅
I figured as much 😁
the obvious difference being 9kg vs 8kg, different series
WAW is made in Germany, the other one is made in China.
We have had one of these for two years … and have had two warranty claims in that time :( Of course YMMV. And it does a good job when it's working.
What have been the issues with it?
One issue was that the inlet solenoid sprung a small leak, internally spritzing nearby components with water (unbeknownst to us) for a period of time … including the iDOS compartment connector, a control board and so on. All that stuff got rusty/damaged and had to be replaced. A second, more minor issue was that the "aquastop" hose, which is supposed to stop your house getting flooded in the event of a hose burst emergency, stopped letting water through at all. They replaced the hose, but then the second aquastop hose had a leak from new. IDK, maybe just a run of bad luck
Thanks for the info. I was slightly concerned that having more features = more things that can break.
@Lewd: No worries. Yeah, although the fancy i-DOS soap drawer did stop working, it was because its connector got sprayed from the leaking valve … so I guess it was an extra feature that broke, although the root cause was a standard component.
Bosch Washers with the "WAW" prefix are made in Germany.
That said, from memory, I think that the current Bosch stuff is made in the former East Germany.Certain batches of WAW are made only on an equinox day in a small workshop in Westest Germany.
Great washing machine… absolutely love it.
Replaced my 15-year-old Asko washing machine a few weeks ago with this for $1311 delivered from Appliances online, less noisy, and liked the i-Dos function
Does anyone know the difference between this model and WAW28420AU?
