There is currently the L9WBC61B, the old model is the L99691HWD.
The older model is 1kg less laundry and probably a better display.
I have the L9WBC61B for half a year and it works fine, but it has a few shortcomings.
To the minuses:
- the laundry is sometimes wrinkled after drying into a chip.
-software has bugs-flaws, an update option could use.
- you put the laundry in the washing machine weighs pops up time you find that it's too long and you use the washing time shortening function, time instead of counting out resets to default and you have to weigh again, annoying.
- on some programs it is not possible to turn on any functions after weighing. For example, it is not possible to set the time that must elapse to start washing, shorten the wash, start drying, change the spin speed, etc.
- washing after the agreed time. The washing machine should weigh and then the time should be set, and now it is so that you want to wash in the morning, first you have to weigh (set the washing time), then delete the program (turn on / off the washing machine) calculate how much time you need to delay, knowing how long the washing takes, so that it was for example at 6.00 in the morning.
- there is no program, wash until the agreed time, e.g. 6:00 am.
-for some programs, the sum of the times of the combined mode drying + washing is much greater than just washing, and then turning on the drying. These differences are even about 40 minutes. You can see it when the washing machine goes from washing to drying. After starting the drying, the initial centrifugation starts again, waiting for some reason. Interestingly, this only happens in automatic drying, in the timer drying mode, the washing machine immediately turns on the compressor and dries it.
- drying probably does not have a temperature / humidity sensor. Drying is cold, the laundry can be at 30C throughout the entire drying time - as long as it is damp. When it gets dry, the temperature goes up, sometimes very clearly, it can easily get 50C and more. It should be turned off then, and not dried further, this is what is done when there are more items in the washing machine and it is not typical cotton, it is also not very common. However, in most cases, drying is carried out at low temperature.
-chip drying, but most of all iron drying (very useful) is available only for cotton, and it should be in all programs. You have to manually set the drying time, and that takes practice.
- frequent cleaning of the drying filter - but it is well-thought-out and manual cleaning is easy.
- leveling is compulsory.
- all items placed on the washing machine will drop during spinning.
- a laminated program card should be added.
-compressor and drying fan make constant hum. Drying mode may be too noisy during nighttime operation if the washing machine is not behind the door.
- heavy, 100 kg, climbing stairs is a torment, you need min. 3 strong people, preferably 4.
- I don't understand why the water pump starts up so often.
-you cannot add rinse aid in the sport program?!?
- the more it dries, the more difficult it is to iron.
Pros:
-you can rely on it, in fact you put things in in the evening, take them out in the morning, iron them and you can go.
-spin 1600 is already drying itself.
- spinning has a good algorithm: it slowly accelerates more and more and each time it arranges the laundry again, the minus is that it takes a long time,> 15 minutes.
- the motor is so quiet that in normal washing, if it were not for the fact that the laundry is splashing in itself, you might not notice that the washing machine is working at all.
- if someone had to deal with a washing machine for PLN 1000, the difference is colossal.
- the powder does not generally clump the powder compartment.
-large flap - makes it easy to put on.
-the washing machine after half a year did not move even a millimeter.
-good workmanship, it is not some mismatched wavy plastic.
- it does not pull small objects under the rubber by the door which then clog the filter, but it happens that the lanyard gets stuck in the rubber folds during drying.
- drying at low temperature, max 30C. Drying looks more or less like putting a fan in front of your clothes. You can dry items that should not normally be dried. There should be a new symbol for drying at room temperature
-Hassle-free filter cleaning at the bottom, just have a flat dish.
- if someone likes automation, he will be happy, fans, compressor, spinning are fine :)
Probably Bosh also has a washer / dryer with compressor, but it is nowhere written, not even mentioned. I suppose this is based on the water and electricity consumption during washing + drying.
Oh, and one more thing in Poland, this washing machine costs too much, in the Czech Republic I got it cheaper PLN 1000, despite the fact that it is a richer country ... in Slovakia about PLN 800-500 cheaper. In Germany I also saw cheaper, even in Ukraine it was cheaper, it depends who is close to check. In the Czech Republic, you probably won't get an older model. I called AEG if they have a guarantee when it is bought abroad and as long as it is in the EU, there is no problem.
The washing machine heats the room a little, but if you take a longer shower, it is also heated + moisture.
