Owner experience
Owner evidence is retained as a setup, load, maintenance, controls and service checklist for 800 Series WGB246AX and WQB245AX Compact Pair, not a failure, mold, fire, cleaning or repair rate.
Reports are self-selected and span different loads, fabrics, pets, detergents, water, drains, ducts, gas and electrical work, floors, stacking, accounts, firmware, maintenance, climates and service regions. They cannot prove population reliability, cleaning, drying, energy, mold, fire, safety or repair outcomes.Self-selected exact-model owners and installers discuss delivery, hookups, venting, drainage, stacking, vibration, controls, app behavior, cleaning routines, odor, lint, parts and service. Different homes, loads, water, detergent, ducts, installers and service regions prevent these reports from establishing failure, mold, fire, cleaning or repair rates.
Have the installer identify every receptacle and drain path by exact model, then confirm local Bosch service before selecting the 800 tier over 500
