Types of Bosch dryers
The German company Bosch constantly cares about improving the quality of its own products, increasing its power potential and introducing innovations. Like other Bosch household appliances, dryers are high-functionality appliances, excellent performance, convenient use and enviable performance. Before proceeding with the choice, it is worth understanding the types of dryers. There are two main categories:
- condensation type;
- equipped with a heat pump.
Condensing
The user has a huge range and a lot of advantages. They do not need to be connected to ventilation, so the connection of equipment is available in any corner of the house or apartment: in the kitchen, in the bathroom, in the hallway.
The principle of operation is based on a condenser – this part extracts excess moisture from the air. Loading laundry into the drum is similar to loading into the CMA. When drying, the drum rotates, things are constantly blown by air currents (its temperature depends on the mode). After that, excess moisture becomes condensate, which accumulates in the form of a liquid in a container prepared for it. There are models in which condensate is drained automatically through a hose.
Models with a pump
Heat pump dryers have a complicated design. The pump blows warm air into the wet laundry compartment. Air circulates in the chamber constantly, flowing from the heat exchanger to the drum and back. As a result, cyclic drying is repeated more than once (depending on the choice of program). Moisture is collected in the accumulator – it is emptied manually or discharged automatically into the sewer with a drainage hose.
Machines with a pump save electricity twice as compared to condensing counterparts.
A separate type of technology washer dryer. In this case, the user buys CMA, focusing primarily on the washing parameters, and the drying function is a nice addition, a bonus.
There are some nuances: if, for example, 6 kg of laundry is placed for washing, and only 3 kg for drying, then you will have to dry one batch of washed laundry twice. We will not particularly focus on this category of technology – you can learn more about it from the articles “Overview of Bosch washing machines” and “How to choose a washer dryer».

Features
It is impossible to create a full review of the Bosch brand without a detailed analysis of the functionality or design features. It is these moments that distinguish it from competing firms.
Self-Cleaning Condenser
Automatic condenser cleaning system. Not so long ago, the condenser needed to be manually flushed after each cycle. Now the need has disappeared – the process is fully automated. This made the condenser absolutely clean and eliminated interference with heat circulation. Energy costs are reduced throughout the operation. All machines since Series 4 are equipped with this development.
Steam for freshness
Steam Refresh is an innovation that makes it much easier to take care of your clothes. Place your pantsuit or other clothes in the dryer, select the appropriate mode – and things are guaranteed to be fresh and smooth.
Sensitive Drying
A drum with a unique structure for constant air flow contributes to gentle operation. The drum design promotes powerful circulation of air currents and distribution of clothes/linen on the drum for uniform drying.
Innovation programs
The developers of the Bosch concern, when creating programs, take into account the fact that ordinary and delicate things need different care. There will be no problems with the individual definition of the process – any item will be dried as required by a particular type of fabric. The optimal temperature and the appropriate cooling phase allow you to carefully process things: they do not “sit down”, do not deform and look at 100!

Inga from Moscow reports:
“We live in a small odnushka, so we select household appliances very thoughtfully. They decided to buy a dryer because we don’t have a balcony, and we’re tired of hanging ropes around the apartment. The connection was made by the husband, the instructions and markings were sorted out together. In the end, I was satisfied, and I arrange washing much more often. ”
Irina from Nadym writes:
“I dreamed of a dryer for a very long time, and I wanted to take the same brand as the washer (we have Bosch Max 7). I am glad not only for the fact of drying, but also for the fact that the linen at the exit is smooth, smells good and practically does not require ironing – I can iron the collar of shirts only. The downside is the high consumption of electricity, but the benefit that technology brings should be paid for at its true worth.
Alla from St. Petersburg shares his opinion:
“We bought a dryer right after the birth of our second child. I remember how I suffered with my first child and mountains of wet diapers and undershirts. Now this problem has disappeared – all children’s things are not only clean and dry, but also without wool and other allergens. And the clothes of the eldest son, a lover of jumping through puddles, no longer torment my nerves, and I don’t scold the child for his pranks.
Write Your Review Sofia from Kursk:
“I will not regret for a minute that I bought the German Bosch. We also have other appliances of this brand: CMA, microwave, refrigerator and air conditioner. Nothing ever broke. Therefore, they bought without hesitation. It replaces the iron by 99%, dries down jackets and blankets, does not spoil the most delicate fabrics, and does not make noise. Of the minuses, only that it consumes a lot of electricity.
Conclusion
A comparison of various models showed that the most popular Bosch dryer in the Russian Federation is the WTE 86200 OE, but other models are not inferior in quality and performance. Bosch appliances have once again established themselves as reliable and functional, so they can safely take their place in your home.
