Start looking forward to laundry day
Although getting someone to admit to the fact may be a trying endeavor, in general, just about everyone has a "chore" that they don't mind doing. In fact, when it comes to their un-chore, they secretly find in it a small space for respite from the rest of their life's goings-on. For some, doing the dishes offers a quiet moment in the morning or after a meal. For others, tending to yard work is more than akin to communing with Nature. Others, even, relish in the cleaning of the bathroom (we, too, are flabbergasted). But you, perhaps you delight in laundry doing. And with the Nexxt 500 Plus Series WFMC5801UC from Bosch, who can blame you. The large 4.0 cu. ft. capacity stainless steel tub not only lets you wash whopping loads, but is also gentle on your clothing as it becomes increasingly polished with use over time. For optimal customization of each load of laundry, the WFMC5801UC serves up 15 wash programs, allowing you to select preconfigured cycles for a variety of clothing types and wash needs, including hand washables, wool, comforters, silk, and jeans. Hey, there's no shame — start looking forward to laundry day.
Beyond clean
There's clean, and then there's really clean. Your clothes might look clean (i.e. all the visible grime has been removed) but will they stand up to closer, microscopic scrutiny? Most washers do a fair job of removing dirt and grime, but what about eliminating disease-causing bacteria? Using a thermostat-controlled intelligent sensor for improved precision, the Bosch WFMC5801UC's XXTRASANITARY® cycle heats the wash water to 170°F, and maintains this temperature for exactly three minutes. After 99.99% of most common household bacteria are killed because of exposure to this high temperature, the water temperature is reduced to a gentler 150°F to prevent fabric breakdown. Your favorite duds are thoroughly cleaned and sanitized with no damage to fibers.
Laundry at the speed of light . . . Quick Light 20, that is
So, you've got 20 minutes of free time on your hands, eh? Well, while in the past you might have taken full advantage of all 1,200 seconds by, oh, doing a power workout, reading a chapter from your favorite book, listening to your favorite album, or just closing your eyes and taking a moment to listen to the world, with the Bosch WFMC5801UC in your laundry room, you've got a new 20-minute favorite . . . laundry. With its Quick Light 20 cycle, the WFMC5801UC serves up a load of fully washed clothes in just 20 minutes. Discover your new pastime.
Ahh, efficiency
You're investing in a high-performance washer, not higher power bills. Matching your concern for both your energy costs and the state of the environment, Bosch has designed the Nexxt Series WFMC5801UC with three features that improve efficiency, reducing energy use and helping care for the environment. First, an ENERGY STAR qualification is your clue that this front-load washer meets the federal government's stringent guidelines for energy efficiency. Second, the ECOACTION™ function adjusts water temperature and cycle length, allowing you to reduce energy consumption by up to 20% per cycle. Finally, a very high 1,150 rpm spin speed removes more moisture from your clothes, reducing drying times, and hence, energy use.
Automatic customization
Unless you've made your own duct-tape wardrobe, chances are that the clothing you wear is, overall, pretty delicate. One rough wash-cycle too many — what with the hot water, detergents, and all that sloshing and spinning about — and your clothes are looking faded and worn. The key to keeping up the appearance and condition of your duds is customization, i.e. matching a wash-cycle's settings to the needs of the clothes in each load. Delivering a high degree of automatic customization, the WFMC5801UC's SENSOTRONIC® Plus uses a network of sensors that analyze your wash, determining load size, temperature, and time, then adjusting these factors automatically to give gentle care to all clothing types, from wool to silk.
