The machine can flaunt frugality and large capacity. To test I once held two passes with an ammeter:
Cotton 30 ° C, standard program (without pre-wash, etc.), about 2.5 hours duration, drum filled with 5 kg instead of 9 kg. 0.35 kWh
. Cotton 40 ° C, EcoPerfect (the austerity measures), about 4.5 hours duration, drum with 9 kg of laundry filled: 0.33 kWh
My old Bosch-machine (an old carrots destined 15 years of age) has consumed 0.68 kWh at 40 ° C and 5 kg filling. With the Save Settings and fully filled, the new model can power consumption by well over two-thirds reduction (Seen as a kilo wash). Madness!
Other positive features:
- Really wonderful quiet
- The drum is extremely spacious and even at full load everything fits loosely purely
- Even at full loading the laundry after spinning contains only pleasant little residual moisture
- Clear display and easy program selection
- The supplied Aquastopp attachment prevents Wasserschschäden and makes the screwing and unscrewing the tap superfluous
- Because I wash almost never more than 40 ° C, it's great that the machine has a cleaning program to prevent bacterial growth and also reminds himself constantly working
The term of the management setting (EcoPerfect) with over 4 hours is really long, I think, but perfectly fine, because the machine is very economical in the standard program and also a practical 4-kg-quick program (running approximately 1.25 hrs .) has to choose from. In the long term the timer simple set is very convenient. To take advantage of the machine should already begin to be fully loaded and washed with the EcoPerfect setting.
The central switch-on and program selection switch could be a little less shaky, but that does not really bother and the processing of the machine makes a solid and sophisticated look. On top I would have felt it when the machine would display the weight of the current load, that does not make unfortunately. You only logs when a program "overloaded" is.
Overall, I find the performance and the handling of the machine absolutely exemplary: deserved 5 stars.
