We have the bosch 500 series a few years. We now have a good one.
1.The first one worked great but had a dent on a side planel from the warehouse.
2. Second one had a bent bearing shaft, it knocked on spin.
3. Third one door would not close properly without slamming.
4. Fourth one works good. It also has a different rubber seal that doesn't get the mold jdc speaks of.
Would I buy one again probably. But I would buy from same dealer and be persistent if something isn't right. Dealer service is important with any front loader since they spin at high speed.
The tall pedestals can cause vibration problems with front loaders.
The best advice I can give is use

It completely removed the musty smell you can get in front load washers. Clothes are softer and that is all we use. It took a while to get my wife to give up fabric softener. A few weeks after she did she told me "I admit it, the clothes are softer and smell better"
