Third-party reviews

What we like about Cecotec Bolero DressCode Dry 3600V

  • A 3 kg drum suits a single person or a couple.
  • Humidity sensors stop the cycle when clothes are dry.
  • A Refresh cycle freshens clothes without heat.
  • A delay start lets the cycle finish when you need it.
  • Energy class A means it uses less power.
  • The two-way drum helps prevent tangles.

What we don't like about Cecotec Bolero DressCode Dry 3600V

  • At 3 kg it is small for a family's weekly wash.
  • It is vented, so it needs a way to let the damp air out.
  • A 3 kg load leaves no room for bulky items like duvets.
  • The Refresh cycle only freshens clothes, so it is no substitute for drying.

Verdict

For one person or a couple who do their own washing, the Cecotec Bolero DressCode Dry 3600V is a compact choice with a 3 kg drum. Humidity sensors and a Smart program stop the cycle when the clothes are dry, and the bidirectional drum turns both ways to reduce tangles. A Refresh cycle freshens clothes without heat, and a delay start lets the cycle finish when you get home. The trade-off is size. Three kilograms is a small load, so a family would be running it several times a week. It is also a vented model, so the damp air has to be let out of the room. It suits a buyer with little space and small washes who wants a colour display on a budget.
