Third-party reviews

What we like about Cecotec Bolero DressCode 9900 Inverter

  • The 52 cm door makes bulky items easier to load.
  • The 9 kg drum takes a full everyday load.
  • The 1400 RPM spin leaves clothes drier.
  • A night or silent option keeps noise down.
  • The antimicrobial door seal helps keep the rubber fresh.
  • Pause and add lets you add a forgotten item mid-cycle.

What we don't like about Cecotec Bolero DressCode 9900 Inverter

  • Only 11 programs limit choice for different fabrics.
  • The only colour is white.
  • The time remaining display shows only how long is left, not what the machine is doing.
  • At 85 cm high, it cannot fit under a worktop.
  • Front loading means you bend to load and unload.

Verdict

With a 52 cm door, bulky items load easily into the Cecotec Bolero DressCode 9900 Inverter. Its 9 kg drum sits in a 60 cm wide body that is 85 cm high, a common size for a freestanding machine. Steam is built in, and laundry detection helps the machine judge each load. The 1400 RPM spin leaves clothes drier. A night or silent option keeps noise down when the house is quiet. An antimicrobial door seal helps keep the rubber fresh, and it also has the OnSmart function. A pause option and a time remaining display let you check on a wash. The trade-off is choice, with only 11 programs. It suits a buyer who wants a clean, practical machine for everyday loads and does not need many cycles.
