Review of Bosch washing machines and dryers

The Bosch washing machine provides the highest quality care for clothes, saving time and free space.

Huge functionality is hidden in one household appliance: washing, rinsing, spinning, drying (and in some models, a steam function, an “easy ironing” mode, and an antibacterial wash).

All you need to do is load the drum, set the desired program, press the “Start” button and remove completely dry, clean clothes at the end of the working cycle.

A little useful information will help you choose a Bosch washing machine with drying function.

Pros and cons of Bosch washing machines

Happy owners of a Bosch washing machine with dryer have already appreciated a lot of positive properties of this multifunctional household appliance:

1. Saving time (in large families, especially with children, a problem often arises when the laundry does not have time to dry, but a new batch of washed, damp clothes is on the way.

   A washing machine with a drying function solves this problem once and for all).

2. Space saving (free-standing drying and washing machines take up a lot of space. Installing a washer and dryer solves the problem of lack of free space in the house).
3. A universal assistant (large-sized machines that combine all the necessary functions in one body (washing, rinsing, spinning, drying) help to take good care of not only clothes, but also children’s toys, home textiles, shoes).
4. Prevents the appearance of dampness in the house (wet clothes hung on ropes or special stands increase the level of air humidity in the house, which leads to the appearance of mold and mildew. Drying in the washing machine completely eliminates this unpleasant situation).

But with all the undeniable advantages of the Bosch washing machine with dryer, It is worth noting several disadvantages:

1. It is impossible to dry a full load of laundry at one time (the loading volume of the drum for washing and drying is different. For example, with a load of 8 kg, only 4 kg is permissible for high-quality drying).
2. High energy consumption (compared to a conventional washing machine, a device with a drying function consumes 1.5 times more electricity).
3. Compared to traditional washing machines, the functionality of a device with a dryer is limited in the number of programs and modes.
4. High cost of a household appliance (an additional option increases the price of a washing machine by an order of magnitude).
5. In some models, the quality of washing leaves much to be desired.
