Third-party reviews

What we like about Cecotec Bolero DressCode Dry 3150V

  • The compact 50.5 cm width and 38.2 cm depth fit small spaces.
  • At 16.29 kg it is light enough to move between rooms.
  • The door can open on either side.
  • An ECO setting cuts the energy used per cycle.
  • Selectable drying times let you choose how long it runs.
  • A simple knob makes the programs easy to pick.

What we don't like about Cecotec Bolero DressCode Dry 3150V

  • The 2.5 kg drum holds only a small load.
  • Six programs give fewer choices for different fabrics.
  • It is vented, so it needs a hose to a window or wall.
  • There is no drying rack in the box.
  • Bulky items like duvets will not fit the small drum.

Verdict

The Cecotec Bolero DressCode Dry 3150V is built for a flat, a caravan or a second home where a full-size dryer will not fit. Its 2.5 kg drum suits one or two people doing a few small loads a week. It is slim, 50.5 cm wide and 38.2 cm deep. At 16.29 kg it is light enough to move between rooms. The door can open on either side, which helps in a tight corner. An ECO setting cuts the energy used per cycle. The trade-off is the small drum and the six programs, which leave little choice for bulky items. Because it dries with a vent hose, the moist air must leave through a window or wall opening. It suits a buyer with little space who mostly dries light everyday laundry.
