Types of Dryers Bosch
The German company Bosch constantly cares about improving the quality of its own products, increasing its capacity and introducing innovations. Like other Bosch household appliances, tumble dryers are appliances with high functionality, excellent features, convenient use and enviable performance. Before proceeding with the selection, it is worth understanding the types of dryers. There are two main categories:
- condensation type;
- equipped with a heat pump.
Condensation
The user has a huge assortment 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 removes excess moisture from the air. Putting the laundry in the drum is similar to loading it in the AGR. 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 liquid in a container prepared for it. There are models in which condensate is drained automatically through a hose.
Pump Models
The units for drying clothes with a heat pump have a complicated design. The pump pumps warm air into the wet laundry compartment. Air circulates in the chamber constantly, coming from the heat exchanger into 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 drive - it is emptied manually or is automatically discharged into the sewer by a drainage hose.
Machines with a pump save energy in half, compared with condensation counterparts.
A separate type of equipment - washer dryer. In this case, the user buys the AGR, 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 equipment - you can learn more about it in the articles “Overview of Bosch washing machines” and “How to choose a washing machine with dryer”.

Features
It is impossible to create a complete 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.
SelfCleaning Condenser
Capacitor automatic cleaning system. Not so long ago, a condenser needed manual flushing after each cycle. Now the need has disappeared - the process is fully automated. This made the condenser completely clean and eliminated the interference with heat circulation. Energy costs are reduced throughout the work. All machines, starting with Series 4, are equipped with this development.
Steam for freshness
Steam freshening is an innovation that greatly facilitates clothing care. Put a pantsuit or other clothes in the dryer, select the appropriate mode - and things are guaranteed freshness and smoothness.
Sensitive drying
A drum with a unique structure for continuous air flow contributes to gentle operation. The design of the drum contributes to the powerful circulation of air flow and the distribution of clothes / linen on the drum for uniform drying.
Innovation Programs
The developers of Bosch concern when creating programs take into account the fact that ordinary and delicate things require different care. There will be no problems with an individual definition of the process - any item will be dried as required by this or that type of fabric. The optimum temperature and a suitable cooling phase allow you to accurately 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 do not have a balcony, and we are tired of hanging ropes around the apartment. The connection was made by the husband, they understood the instructions and labeling together. As a result, I was satisfied, and I arrange washing much more often. ”
Irina from Nadym writes:
“I have long dreamed of a dryer, and I wanted to take the same brand as the washer (we have Bosch Max 7). I am glad not only to the fact of drying, but also to the fact that the laundry at the outlet is smooth, smells nice and practically does not require ironing - only in shirts can I iron the collar. The downside is a large consumption of electricity, but the benefits that the technology brings are worth paying for. ”
Alla from St. Petersburg shares his opinion:
“They bought a dryer immediately with the birth of a second child. I remember how I was tormented with my firstborn and mountains of wet diapers and vests. 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 galloping through the puddles, no longer torment my nerves, and I do not scold the child for his pranks. "
Feedback Sofia from Kursk:
“I will not regret for a moment that they bought the German Bosch. We have the rest of the equipment also of this brand: SMA, microwave, refrigerator and air conditioning. Nothing has ever broken. Therefore, bought without hesitation. It replaces iron by 99%, dries down jackets and blankets, does not spoil the most delicate fabrics, does not make noise. Of the minuses, only that which consumes a lot of electricity. "
