bosch WIW28300GB - cotton 60 ecoperfect

cotton 60°C cycle with the ecoperfect option enabled.

last year i tried out the cotton eco 60°C cycle and it was very much the same as this. the only real difference was the final spin went to 1400rpm and instantly decelerated then did 11 minutes of anti-crease. here it stayed at 1400rpm for 4 minutes before declerating and doing 6 minutes of anti-crease. i'm not sure whether this is due to the bigger load or just programming differences.

this is the first time i've seen this machine wash a full load and i must say it handled it very well - good water levels, no sudslocking/waterlocking, no major balancing issues, and good overall performance.

the machine reached a maximum temperature of 37.5°C, and it held at that temperature for a while before holding at around 35 for the rest of the main wash. for me, eco cycles doing temperature retention defeats the point of them as this is going to use more energy than a normal 40° wash would, as it's retaining temperature for significantly longer than a normal 40° wash would. i'm not actually even sure if normal 40° holds at all as i didn't check.

i removed the thermometer during the second intermediate spin as i didn't want it to fly into the machine at high speed and damage either the thermometer or the machine.

the final spin is indeed 1400rpm. i compared it against my other videos of the machine.
