we bought our bosch front loader about 8 months ago and haven't had any problems at all. washes the nappies great! for the really *intense* dirty nappies i throw the bulky stuff down the loo and throw it in the machine. depending on smelliness we either do it on the mixed load wash or on one of the hotter washes. (either 57 mins or 1h12mins). HTH! (this machine is really great on water usage too).
