La Cecotec brand has been on the market for more than 20 years, but Its takeoff began with the rise of robot vacuum cleaners, where your Conga Excellence 990 and later its first laser model, the Conga 3090, were a huge success.

The Bolero washing machine range
The range of Bolero washing machines initially has 11 models at launch, although little by little some more variants will be added. until reaching 23 references. Includes white and steel models, and even an advanced washer dryer.
The range is divided into different Series, which give us an idea of the level of equipment: from the most basic Series 100, the extensive Series 200, the intermediate Series 400, an advanced Series 600 and the Series 700, which contains the most complete appliances, the Wash&Dry washer-dryers. .
If you want to see a summary of features of the range of Bolero washing machines available, you have it at the end of the article.
Next, we comment some of the interesting features offered by the new Cecotec washing machines, from the most basic to the most advanced.
Loading capacity
The load capacity ranges from 6 kilograms of the most basic, the Dresscode 6000, to 12 kilos reached by the Bolero Dresscode 12600 Inverter., an impressive capacity ideal for large families and/or for having to use the washing machine less times (the exterior size of all models is standard).
Centrifuged
The spin starts at 1.000 revolutions of the basic model, a good figure that already passes at 1.400 rpm in the next step, up to 1.500 rpm of the most performance models, a speed at the level of the best on the market.
As a guide, at 600 rpm the clothing will have approximately 80% humidity, while at 1.200 rpm it would have less than half (obviously, the speed to select depends on the type of clothing, since more delicate garments will require a gentler spin than more resistant ones).
LED panel
All models of the Bolero Dresscode washing machine range have an LED panel which gives it a very techie, in which we can see information such as the remaining time and the selected program. Besides, the most advanced ones include Touch buttons, which puts them at the forefront.
KidLock
Related to the previous aspect, since the washing machine is very easy to operate, but it is not a toy, all the buttons on the washing machine are blocked, to prevent children from handling it. It is a function included in all models.
Programs
The most affordable Bolero washing machines have 8 programs: Synthetic, Cold wash, Cotton, Cotton intensive, Delicate, Mixed and InstantWash (between 15 and 45 minutes), with adjustable temperatures.
The most advanced Boleros have 15 or 16 different programs, with specific functions for jeans, wool, synthetic fabrics or even advanced vaporization and anti-allergy functions, or the definition of favorites.
DelayStart
All bolero models have DelayStart, which allows you to defer the start of the wash between 1 and 24 hours, so you can choose the most appropriate time for it to start working, adapting it to the electricity rates or for it to finish when you get home.
My favorite
Thanks to the MyFav function, available on many models in the range, you can choose your favorite program and have it memorized so you can select it quickly whenever you want.
Anti-wrinkle
The anti-wrinkle function is available from mid-range models, and allows, as its name suggests, to reduce the wrinkles with which we take the clothes out of the washing machine, which reduces subsequent work.
Stop & Go
Some models have the Stop&Go function, which allows you to stop the washing machine and recharge it.; This way, if we have forgotten to put a garment in, we do not have to wait for the washing cycle to finish, nor cancel the program or empty the water from the drum (as long as, for safety reasons, the water level and temperature allow it). allow).
DiamondCare
With the exception of the most basic models, Cecotec's Bolero washing machines incorporate the DiamondCare design, a drum with hexagonal diamond-shaped cells that facilitate cleaning and sliding of garments, washing them carefully and protecting them.
Steam Max
Some models include the SteamMax function, which performs a Steam bath to the laundry, before the washing cycle, to sanitize the garments effectively and with the utmost care.
Steam allows garments to be sterilized without using chemical agents, killing bacteria, germs and allergens naturally, penetrating the fibers and also eliminating odors.
It is a perfect function for cold washes, since steam is generated outside the drum and is introduced into it through the holes, so the water can be cold.
BabySafe
Several Bolero models have BabySafe, a technology that increases water intake during rinsing to reduce possible detergent residue, making it ideal for washing children's clothes.
HygienePro
With the HygienePro system, the washing machine keeps itself clean, reducing maintenance and achieving greater hygiene; a system that is activated automatically in some programs, composed of three parts:
Inverter Plus Motor
The most advanced models have an Inverter Plus motor, which provides high energy efficiency and greater performance, by minimizing friction.
The brushless digital motor eliminates brushes, providing greater strength and durability and resistance, achieving an excellent result while avoiding maintenance and breakdowns.
Furthermore, minimizing friction reduces friction, so vibration and noise are reduced generated by the washing machine.
Wash&Dry
The Bolero Wash&Dry 10700 Inverter combines the function of washing machine and dryer in a single device, with a wide capacity (10 kilograms for washing and 7 for drying), making it ideal for large families, as it allows you to do large loads and have them ready and dry quickly.
On its LED screen you can choose the delayed start, temperature, spin revolutions per minute and drying options. The Wash&Dry has three options, to adapt perfectly to any circumstance: automatic drying, extra drying and normal drying.
