I like the dryer and went for a 9kg load size. My only issue is that each drying programme has a different weight limit. The dryer flashes up with the correct weight limit for the programme, but I don't know what my load weighs. On a couple of occasions the programme finishes but my clothes are not dry.

Considering what I’ve read about heat pump dryers, I’ve been pleasantly surprised by how quickly this can dry. On the cotton setting, a full set of bedding takes around an hour which, coming from a washer dryer, I consider to be very quick. Thicker items like towels obviously take longer and I’ve found it helps to not mix items of differing thicknesses in one load. Other than that, it can handle a substantial amount of laundry in one go. The cycles always start out quoting 3 or 4 hours, but usually end up taking less than half this time. My only gripe is that the timed setting often doesn’t heat up within 40 mins, however this may be because I often try to dry only a couple of items on this setting. On full loads the machine appears to gather heat faster, so I assume this is an inevitable part of the mechanics. It also appears to struggle with down items and doesn’t sense the moisture in them very effectively, leading to it finishing the cycle before they’ve dried or been fluffed up. I consider these to be minor gripes though and overall I’m very satisfied with the dryer.

Great machine is probably one of the best tumbler dryers I’ve used love it

Great dryer - quick, efficient and doesn't overheat the space it's in. Definitely recommend

Good product. It does take a bit longer to dry but is more economical

Good - quiet efficient although the water collection drawer is quite small

Fantastic product so far love the weigher and light inside the drum great feature. So gentle on clothes not to overheat anything they keep that fresh just washed smell. Great array of programmes too.Fantastic product does better than what it says on the tin. By the way first Bosch we have ever bought. Now we need to update all the appliances.

Excellent product. The tumble dryer has both a waste water pipe and the usual water container that needs to be emptied, so it's very versatile. I wish I had bought this tumble dryer first, will definitely recommend it to my parents who always have issues with their dryer.
