It’s been 3 weeks and my clothes are coming out cleaner and, frankly, much dryer. I’m all about energy efficiency, and this washer takes so much moisture out of my newly cleansed garments that I barely have to dry them in the dryer (which Is a matching Bosch 300 Series). Honestly, with certain items, I’m happy to skip the dryer and hang my sheets, towels and even blankets on a line outside for a half hour for some truly pristine linens.
