Second Chance Wisberg WBDR9A3WNB

With the Wisberg WBDR9A3WNB I dry large loads of laundry in an energy-efficient way. With 14 programs I have a lot of choice and I can easily freshen up worn clothes.

First impression
What strikes me first about the washing machine is its luxurious, sleek appearance. This is mainly due to the black door and the black touch buttons. But the silver dial and the logo on the detergent drawer also catch the eye. In terms of operation, the dryer feels sturdy. The dial turns smoothly and the LED light that turns is a nice addition. This way I can immediately see which program I choose. I set the other settings on the display, such as the dryness level and whether I want drum lighting. Symbols do appear on the screen. That's why I kept the manual with me the first few times I set it up, so that I knew what everything meant.

Energy-efficiently dry large loads
My dryer runs several times a week. It is therefore important that my dryer not only keeps my clothes beautiful, but also dries energy-efficiently. The heat pump drying technology dries the clothes at a low temperature, so that my clothes stay beautiful for longer. Fortunately, with A+++ I don't have to worry about high energy bills. This amounts to €1,150 over the life of the device. This way I have soft towels every time without using much energy. With the spacious 9-kilogram drum, I also have enough space to dry my bedding in one go. Handy, it means I have fewer drying cycles and I can immediately put everything in the cupboard.

Freshens up stale laundry
Sometimes my clothes that have been in the closet for several months smell a bit musty. However, it is not dirty and I think it would be a shame to wash it. With the refresh program I remove the musty odors without washing. Also useful when my clothes have some food smells after dinner with friends. Great, because this way I save on water and energy and my clothes stay beautiful longer.

Many program choices
I wash many types of laundry and therefore think it is important that there is a program for every wash. No problem with this dryer, because it has 14 different drying programs. For example, my wool sweaters do not shrink with the special wool program and I also dry my bedding and jeans exactly right. Great, because it means my clothes stay beautiful for longer.

Clearly a product that you have to learn to deal with. Now in the house for a week: cotton, synthetic and bedding tried on the normal setting. With all 3 programs the laundry was not dry and I had to add a standard "drying time". For example, the cotton that already takes 3.50 hours, switched itself off after 3 hours and I still had to dry it myself. I found that a bit disappointing. So next time I will try a different drying setting, which also means that it takes even longer. Doing one or two washes a day also meant that I was busy with the laundry all day. And for those who have never used a wpd before, they apparently do not get warmer than 35 degrees. Unfortunately, the employee could not tell me that on the phone and I did my own research. The advantage of this is that the machine is energy-efficient despite longer drying times.
