Yes, the brushes need to bed in.

Wash should be so quiet that you have to look to know it is running.
Spin,
(ours is 1400rpm bosch ) makes a little noise, but hey, its so little
compared to anything else.

I've never heard anything so bloody daft as "the brushes need to bed in"!!!
Oh Please!!

In fact, are there any brushes??!! Most new appliances use induction motors.

Even so, the bedding in of brushes in a fallacy.

It's probably a bearing and if anything like our NEW Hotpoint will need a
replacement within weeks.

New brushes don't make noise - poor quality or badly lubricated bearings do!
Manufacturers these days use the cheapest possible bearings and don't use
much (if any) grease.



Brushes bedding in my arse!

Having been a Bosch/Siemens fan for years I am afraid that when our 10
year old DW packed up I bought a Miele Base model for £350 delivered
(Yes amazing considering they were £500 min 10 years ago)
All i can observe is that I will never buy anything else again with
out checking on the miele price. Three spray bars, really quiet, and
20 year design life.
(condensing dryer a different story Bosch decent German non base model
£350 Miele £650.

It came from a local little wholesale land lord special type of shop
that is just full of machines, and I printed out the cheapest online
prices and we did a deal of that price inc their delivery charge.
Really cannot lose that way as i did not have to wait around all day
for delivery (this man says i will come at six after work and he
does.)
