What we like about Cecotec Bolero DressCode 10970

  • A 10 kg drum takes a full load of bedding or towels.
  • The extra-large door makes it easy to load a duvet.
  • The belt-free motor starts the spin smoothly, without jolts.
  • In tests the eco wash used about 0.92 kWh, close to the maker's figure.
  • A steam wash and a steam sanitising programme suit bedding and towels.
  • The spin runs at up to 1400 RPM.

What we don't like about Cecotec Bolero DressCode 10970

  • The spin is loud, about 72 dB in tests, and can be heard from another room.
  • Tomato and oil marks stayed after the eco wash.
  • The 15-minute quick cycle suits about 2 kg, so stained clothes need a longer programme.
  • Spin-drying is only class B, so clothes stay a bit damp after the spin.

Verdict

Drum size is where the Cecotec Bolero DressCode 10970 stands out, with 10 kg of room. The extra-large door makes it easy to load a duvet, and the belt-free motor starts the spin smoothly, without jolts. It is a self-standing front loader with an A energy rating. In tests, the eco programme used about 0.92 kWh with a full 10 kg load, close to the maker's figure. The steam wash and steam sanitising programme suit bedding and towels well. The trade-off is noise, since the spin measured about 72 dB and can be heard from another room. Tomato and oil marks also stayed after the eco wash, so stubborn stains need a longer programme. It suits a family with a lot of bedding and towels that wants a big drum and does not mind a louder spin.
