We've had this tumble dryer a few weeks now and so far, so good. This was to replace using the dryer part of a washer dryer so we are finding it significantly more efficient in terms of both drying ability and energy used to achieve this. There are plenty of cycles to choose from and the drum size is large so clothing has lots of room to dry without getting too crumpled. There's a reduced ironing function which seems to work relatively well, although anything cotton is always going to need smoothing out. Cleaning the fluff filter and emptying the condenser are intuitive and straightforward. We've just run a first cleaning cycle which was quite neat- you put hot tap water in the condenser and it uses that to clean the machine. All seems very considered. The only slight confusion we had was with the start button - all of the other buttons function with a light press and give instant feedback but the start button needs to be held down for 1-2 seconds. Initially we were concerned it was faulty until we contacted Bosch and they advised that it just needs a longer hold on it. Seems obvious now but maybe sharing this will help someone out!

Sorry to say that the build quality isn't what i was expecting, feels very plastic and a bit flimsy. yes it dries well but can take up to 3 hours for a King size duvet, sheet and pillow cases. My machine isn't that quiet either and has a very cloud click, almost a bang, mid way through the programme as it changes the cycle. Worst thing about it though is the door that can only be shut with a very firm hand and a very loud click/bang. At this price point i cant say i would recommend Bosch if I'm being honest

Very good product. Dries items well and is very energy efficient compared to tumble dryers we’ve had in the past. Only real downside is the standard cotton cycle is over 3 hours long, but that seems to be the trend for most energy efficient heat pump dryers. It does offer a 40 minute quick dry cycle which we’ve used once on a small handful of clothes and that worked well which surprised me. Large capacity (not that we’ve ever run it at max capacity as our washer is only a 7kg machine) and internal light also really help with loading and unloading. Condenser drawer and filters are really easy to remove and empty too. Machine can be connected to waste pipe rather than the condenser drawer which is. Ice but not a feature we use due to its location. Would recommend.

Worst tumble drier that I have ever had the sorry misfortune to own. Timed Programme Warm, something that you need to get warm and dry the clothes just doesn't heat up. Bosch engineer told me nothing wrong with it and that this is how it works. A tumble drier that doesn't dry on a programme that I use regularly is no use. Avoid this heat pump tumble drier, save yourself stress and buy a tumble drier with a heater in it, just don't buy a heat pump drier.

I've had a heat pump dryer in the past, and this dryer's performance is much better. This dryer isnt very quiet, but it is quieter than my previous one. It drys clothes much quicker and properly dry at that - no residual dampness. It also copes with bed sheets very well: they stay free and don't roll up in a ball. Finally, the air it emits is warm but not humid, so I can finally get rid of the mold caused by my previous dryer. Overall a much better performance than the pervious make I had, and would choose it again above other makes.

Looks very smart and easy to use. Drying time is a bit longer than our previous dryer, which was an old vented type. Towels come out spectacularly fluffy. No complaints so far and too soon to assess energy efficiency.

Really love this tumble dryer, really easy to use and love the fact that it comes with the option to plumb into the a drain, so the water tank does not need t be emptied. Looks really nice and is easy to use. I was a bit worried getting a heat pump dryer, I had heard they so not get the clothes as dry as conventional models, but I have not had this issue with this dryer. The clothes come out really dry.

Great looking dryer, easy to use but takes a bit of getting used to, clothes sometimes come out feeling damp but maybe I just didn't use the right setting
