Check the Siemens as well. I found only minor differences between the Siemens and the corresponding Bosch ones. Also, the service guy who came for my Siemens was from Bosch and he told me that both are serviced by the same folks. When I was looking for dryer, there was a 1K INR differences between Siemens and the almost exactly similar Bosch.
 

What I have seen is that most if the online stores are selling old models which I did not see in Bosch stores.
These are the latest model numbers which you can check in series 4

WAK24268IN ( higher end model 7kg 1200rpm)
WAK24168IN (7kg 1200 rpm)
WAK20260IN (1000 rpm)
WAK20160IN (1000 rpm)

Have been using WAK24268 for few months and so far good. The speed perfect option is so good for daily wash and the wash time is less.

Pls check Bosch India website and also confirm warranty for online purchase. I would suggest you to check in nearby stores which carry the latest models.

Top two comes in silver finish and 1000rpm comes in white finish.
 
Thank you guys for all your suggestions. We went to ezone and finally after much comparison of different model and the convenience of usage we went for Whirlpool Bloom Wash 8013H 8 kg Fully Automatic Top Loading Washing Machine Price in India - Buy Whirlpool Bloom Wash 8013H 8 kg Fully Automatic Top Loading Washing Machine online at Flipkart.com which is a top loading machine as compared to front loading and priced almost at par with Bosch Series 4 front loading at entry level.

The main reasons were
1. My wife required a more engaging experience while washing :) and letting all the water drain away after every wash was a big No for her especially where we have mix of colored and white cloths to wash every week and the color garments release color even after several washes, something which cannot be avoided for front loading
2. You cannot add a new cloth after your wash cycle has started
3. You have to bend or sit on the ground to take in / out cloths in front loading
4. :) Of all the front loadings we saw they were white, the color was not suitabke to my wife's liking :)
5. During a power failure, you have to drain the whole water using emergency drain and without power coming back the cloths cannot be taken out (is this for all?)
6. The price we got for this product at e-zone is 1.5K lesser than the same on Flipkart, brand new

Hey Haisaikat,

I too was in the same dilemma of purchasing the Bloomwash or the Bosch front loading machine. The quality of wash in a top loading is better because of the tumble movement, which is replicated in this particular variant of frontloading (Bloomwash). However, if you get a 6 kg front loading machine of Bosch, you will be able to wash more clothes than when you have a Bloomwash machine of 8 kg. For reference, you can refer to the manual that comes with the Bloomwash model. It mentions that in an 8 kg model, only 4.5 kg of clothes can be washed in the tumble mode (the 360 degree movement). However, if you want to wash more clothes, you have to go for the normal mode.

Even my wifey was impressed by the aesthetics of the Bloomwash model. Only after I explained her the utility and quality of the Bosch machine, she relented. Most of the showroom people are ill informed about this. Even Whirlpool hides this data somewhere in the middle of the manual, but doesnt mention this anywhere in the website.

Cheers !!
 
Also always use washing liquid instead of powder on front or top load machines. This prolongs the life of the machine. The alkaline content in the washing powder quickly corrodes the washing machine.
 
i had used powder for 10 yrs, did not corrode my GE washing machine. Powder is better as it cleans up well but if you use liquid, you may have to do an empty wash with soda crystals once a month. Anyway, check the manufacturer manual for special requirements.
