Product Overview
The Bosch WFMC2201UC is part of the 300 Series Nexxt Washers. This means that it has many of the advanced technologies and features that were developed to offer the highest level of efficiency, quietness, and performance.
The washer has a large capacity, with four cubic feet of space for laundry items. With such a large laundry, one can save time, energy and money by running fewer but larger loads, instead of running numerous small loads.
The Bosch WFMC2201UC is a side-loading washer with a tilted drum to make it easier and more convenient to load and unload. The tilted drum also helps to make the cleaning process more effective. Here are some of the other features that one might like about the Bosch 300 Series Nexxt WFMC2201UC Washer:
KidsCare Cycle
The KidsCare Cycle is an extra feature that the Bosch WFMC2201UC uses to provide the most thorough wash cycle. This washer is up to the task when it comes to dealing with some of the biggest and toughest stains, which are commonly acquired by children.
When the washer is set to the KidsCare Cycle, the water is heated to 150 degrees Fahrenheit, which helps in removing stains.
Internal Water Heater
The KidsCare Cycle and some of the other cycle settings and options depend on the washer's Internal Water Heater. Instead of running on a timer, as many water heaters do, the Bosch WFMC2201UC makes use of a thermostat to carefully keep track of the temperature. The heater then automatically adjusts itself to the right temperature for the perfect washing conditions.
Archie Paddles
Another technology commonly used in the Nexxt Series Washers is the Archie Paddles system. This system uses a paddle positioned above the clothes to disperse water over the clothes and throughout the drum. The paddle system ensures that the clothes get a thorough wash.
Sesotronic Plus
The Bosch WFMC2201UC uses sensors to monitor the temperature, wash cycle, load size, and more. The washer then automatically configures the settings to ensure a gentle and effective wash.
Nexxt 300 Series Nearly-Silent Wash System
The Nexxt 300 Series Washers are designed for near-silent operation. With a decibel rating of only 56 dB, the Bosch WFMC2201UC is a great choice for anyone looking for a silent washer.
Warranty
Like many of the other washers in Bosch's Nexxt Series, this model is an Energy Star qualified appliance. The Bosch WFMC2201UC is also covered by Bosch's Good Housekeeping Seal Promise. As a testament to Bosch's high quality manufacturing, the Good Housekeeping Seal means that these products are covered by a two-year limited warranty.
Advantages
One of the biggest benefits of using the Bosch WFMC2201UC is its efficiency. Users have noted how it takes up as little energy and water as possible, and this translates to bigger savings in their utility bills. Another cited advantage by consumers is its build quality.
Apparently, the Bosch WFMC2201UC has good quality and a decent price for its value. This washing machine has a wide variety of settings and options to choose from, giving users a number of functions that will best suit their laundry needs.
Disadvantages
The Bosch WFMC2201UC can suffer from some of the drawbacks that are inherent to most side-loading washers with water conservation features. Some consumers have complained of the mold or mildew smell if the settings aren't dialed in correctly.
Just like leaving damp clothes to dry in a closet or drawer, this side-loading washer may result in that same mold and mildew smell. The washer doesn't have an extra wash cycle to make for long cycles of continuous cleaning. This is a practical feature that could have been very useful to many users. Some people try make up for this slight disadvantage by tweaking the washer's settings.
