They'll save you money on water and electricity, they get along perfectly, and they're really quiet. In fact, Bosch takes pride in developing technologies and products that keep your clothes looking and feeling new. Their laundry appliances are smart, high performance and easy to use. Not only that, but the Nexxt Series WTMC5321US electric dryer is a marvel in efficiency and style. One of the best roommates you'll ever have.
The long story short
Warning: the two feature paragraphs below this one are only for the informationally addicted. They cover, with amazing detail, the full story of Bosch dryer drums and DuoTronic Technology. Because we have sympathy for those who need a good, hearty paragraph, as well as those who have shorter attention spans, we decided to create the long version and the short version. So, to make a long story short: The drum has a lot of holes (think lots of air movement) in it and is made of ultra-smooth stainless steel. And, the DuoTronic technology uses sensors to "feel" how wet the clothes still are, and even changes how the drum spins. It's a smart, efficient dryer. Read on if you need more.
The power of the drum
So &mdash here is something you need to know up front that separates this dryer from most of the pack. Bosch uses a stainless steel inclined drum design in the NEXXT Dryers. The 17.6 lb. capacity drum easily accommodates king sized comforters allowing them to expand and fluff. The drum is 6.7 cu. ft. and does not hold odors, stain, or rust. And, to protect the delicate fibers in your wardrobe, each of the 685 rear drum holes is double stamped and the coil metal is joined with a "clinched" seam. Ultra-smooth interior drum surfaces prevent damage to your valuable wardrobe. The drum rotates on bearings for a smooth operation, and reduced noise. The drum will last the life of the machine. Together with the Asymmetric Paddles, your garments tumble in a 3-dimensional direction. As the drum rotates, the garments are passed over the moisture sensor to gauge the remaining moisture content. The heated air passes through the Chatot Burner (a Bosch exclusive heating element) into a heating hood. Then, the air passes efficiently through the 685 drum holes into the drum cavity. This efficiency minimizes drying time. Results are cleaner clothes with less wear and tear and less water and energy consumption. The Bosch Nexxt dryer doors open to a 180 degree angle and can be conveniently right or left hinged to easily transfer garments from your washer to your dryer.
DUOtronic technology
Bosch Nexxt Dryers feature the unique DUOtronic system with auto dry cycles that tailor the drying cycle to your clothing. Bosch's exclusive DUOtronic system combines moisture and temperature sensors to deliver precision drying automatically. Here's how it works. Temperature sensors are strategically placed within the drum to monitor the temperature of the selected drying cycle based on the fabric selection. This ensures precise drying results. The Moisture Sensor is placed on the front of the door opening for more accurate detection of moisture content. This sensor detects the moisture based on the level of resistance when the garments rotate and come in contact with the moisture sensor. More moisture creates less resistance. Less resistance demands continued drying time. Simultaneously, moderate temperature air flows through the 685 holes at a high velocity. As the fabric dries and the resistance is greater, the demand for heat and time diminishes. The heating element begins to shut down, and, by the time the clothes are dry, they have cooled--they are not hot. Not only does this process eliminate over-drying, which is damaging to your garments, but it also prevents set-in wrinkles after the cycle has stopped and the garments are resting. Bosch Nexxt Dryers provide you with the most gentle and energy efficient way to dry your clothes. Manage your washer and dryer times with the SYNCHRO Technology Operation Logic. The Nexxt Dryers coordinate with the spin speed of the washer, based upon the fabric setting and water temperature of your wash load. Therefore, your wash pile won't stack up as you wait for your dryer to finish its cycle.
Extra-fine lint filter
Bosch Nexxt Washers and Dryers care for your clothes. During the gentle washing process, a minimal amount of lint is produced because your garment's fibers do not break down. Therefore, when your garments are transferred into the drying process, that minimal amount of lint is captured by an easy-to-clean, extremely fine mesh filter. This filter prevents lint from re-circulating with the garments, and the exhaust ducting system remains clear of excessive lint accumulation.
Asymmetric paddles
Bosch Asymmetric Paddles eliminate the likelihood of damp clothes at the end of the dryer cycle. Together with moisture sensors, the Asymmetric Paddles assist in providing an accurate detection of the moisture that remains in your garments. The Asymmetric Paddles direct your garments to tumble in two directions, back-to-front and side-to-side. As your garments tumble, they come in contact with moisture sensors, located on the front of the door opening. Your load will be dried completely without damage to the fabrics.
1-hour WRINKLEBLOCK
Sometimes you can't get to your laundry right away when the buzzer rings. Extended WRINKLEBLOCK gives you up to one hour of intermittent tumbling, preventing creases from settling and, ultimately, reducing ironing time.
