The Bosch
500 Series WTW87NH1UC is part of the
Clothes Dryers test program at
Consumer Reports. In our lab tests, Compact Dryer
models like the 500 Series WTW87NH1UC are rated on multiple criteria, such as those
listed below.
Drying performance:
This score combines performance on three types of laundry loads of different sizes and fabric mixes: A 6-lb. load, predominantly cotton, which includes jeans and towels an 8-lb. load of cotton/polyester blend clothing and a 3-lb. load of synthetic delicates, women's pajamas, nightgowns, bras and underwear.
Convenience:
For this measurement, we judged controls and ergonomics, such as ease of loading and unloading, servicing the lint filter, whether the door could clear a tall basket, and whether the machine has a raised edge to contain spills.
Noise:
Judgments made by a panel during the operation of the dryer, judging both sound quality and volume.
