The Bosch WVG30461GB washer dryer is an ideal solution if your home doesn’t have space for a separate washer and dryer.
With its 8kg wash load and decent 5kg dry capability it is more than a good compromise. You may want to remove a few items before the dry portion of the cycle if you do wash a full load, as no one ever weighs the clothes anyway, to make sure they dry properly and then pop the other bits in when the first load is done. As the WVG30461GB has the benefit of a fast 1500 spin speed you will find that your load is not very wet when the drying cycle starts so speeding up the overall cycle times.
This model also has a few useful extra features not found on some more, basic models. Allergy Plus is a very thorough wash and rinse programme, ideal for pet allergy or detergent sensitivities, leaving little chance of irritation.
The EcoSilence Drive reduces wear and tear on the motor, prolonging life and giving very quiet operation also with up to 35% more efficiency than normal motors. For techies this is due to the lack of brushes in the motor itself.
The drying side of the machine features Sensor Drying to help prevent damage to clothing fibres by monitoring temperature and moisture content, so you can have your clothes at the dryness you need for either putting away or ironing.
As with other Bosch washer models, the WVG30461GB has their unique Vario Perfect programming options. If you are in a hurry, as we all are sometimes, then selecting the Speed Perfect option means that a full wash can be done in around an hour – depending on the clothing programme chosen from a selection of 12 (with 3 drying programmes as well). If you have time available or are going to be out then selecting the Eco Perfect option will save up to 60% on energy by increasing the programme running time. It has a timer delay function to help you plan your day as well.
The machine has a smart, modern look, a large loading porthole and a bright, easy to read LED display. It is very quiet when in use (although if you put in on overnight you may want to close the room door as it will beep to let you know the cycle is complete.
Overall, the WVG30461GB is a very competent tumble dryer, large capacity washer with excellent build quality, simple controls and a great solution for those with sensitive skin and limited space. It gets the job done with no fuss.
