Bosch Sensixx DS38 TDS383113H

Efficient steam generation

This Bosch model belongs to the boiler steam generator category. From a 1.4-liter removable tank, water enters the station, where it is heated, and then the steam is supplied directly to the iron through a hose.

Thanks to its high power of 3100 W, the Bosch Sensixx DS38 TDS3831 is able to generate dry and hot steam in 2 minutes after starting work. The pressure reaches 6.5 bar and the continuous feed is carried out at a speed of 120 g/min. Thanks to a powerful steam boost of 400 g/min, you can effectively remove creases from thick fabrics, smooth out even 2-3-fold linen, and perform vertical steaming.

Easy sliding and abundance of programs

The iron received a CeraniumGlissee ceramic soleplate. It glides perfectly and is distinguished by numerous holes for steam to escape. The user has a choice of 8 ironing programs, including "Wool" (it is approved by Woolmark, which confirms delicate care) and Hygiene (designed for hygienic processing of things and removing bacteria).

If you need to quickly iron various things, you should choose the i-Temp Advanced universal auto programme. To save electricity and water, the Bosch Sensixx DS38 TDS3831 also has an eco mode.

Descaling

The Calc'nClean Perfect system allows you to fight deposits in the boiler and the iron itself. The need for descaling is indicated by a special indicator. The procedure is reduced to cleaning the collector that collects deposits in the boiler, as well as launching the Calc'nClean programme to rinse the iron.

Despite the clear and uncomplicated descaling procedure, the device is quite demanding on water quality. If it is very hard, then water can be supplied instead of or together with steam, which users periodically complain about. The best solution in this case is to pour water filtered with a jug.

Useful features of the Bosch Sensixx DS38 TDS3831 include informative indication and audible operation alarm, auto-off after 8 minutes of inactivity, simple fixation of the iron at the station, a stand for horizontal placement and a storage compartment for the network cable.

In general, the richness of settings and high overall efficiency make the model a good solution for ironing and steaming, provided that the quality of the water used is normal.
