Just got this dryer and still trying to figure out how to get the clothes completely dry. Yes, I've read the manual. I'm not giving up on it, just can't give it 5 stars yet.
(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) This dryer hardly makes any noise . I use it at night while we sleep. The size is big enough for our family. Might be more expensive than others but it lasts a long time. If one is planning to buy a dryer which will last many years , purchase this one.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When in the market for a compact washer/dryer, I was introduced to condensation dryers during my web searches. I read mixed reviews, mostly negative. After having used mine for a few weeks dnow, I have to say that it does take some getting used to, but once I did, I understand that the condensation type dryer is different from the dryers I had used in the past. I experimented with the variety of settings this Bosch 800 series offers, and found the combination I liked for the various types of items being laundered. There are a lot of settings, in addition to settings that let you extend the dry time and how dry you want your clothes. The Bosch dryer senses, at various intervals, how dry your clothes are getting so what looks like starts out to be a 2 hour dry cycle actually winds up being much less, saving energy in the long run. The dryer does not "bake" my clothes like my gas dryer did.Yes, the clothes may feel slightly "damp" when first removed, but after a shake to fold, I find that they really are dry. The capacity of the dryer is fine for my small family of three; if you have a family of four or more, this is not the product for you. Overall quality build is good. Dryer is quiet and just love it! One other thing to mention is that it will warm up the surroundings a bit due to it being a "ductless" dryer that vents to the back of the machine. Honestly, I have no issues with this, but I live in a temperate climate. Kudos to Bosch for their sound engineering and quality assurance standards!
(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) We have had the Bosch 800 series dryer for a month. From the beginning it has required several pushes on the start button to get it started - there is no apparent pattern except it is rare that it starts with one push. The other big negative is that, even on the Extra Dry setting, the clothes come out damp. We have followed the troubleshooting suggestions, the main one of which is to check the sensors. There is nothing on the sensors to interfere with their functioning. The control panel may be faulty, but there is no way to tell because it is a concealed computer chip. It will be an incredible hassle to try to get this fixed, but we will have to wade into that as soon as we return from a long-planned trip.
