With Bosch always being at the forefront of laundry products and development, it is no surprise that the Bosch WTH84000GB 8kg heat pump tumble dryer is just as great as its predecessors with a vast range of programmes and features to choose from. Energy and time efficient, it is the perfect addition to any busy household!
Tumble dryers from Bosch are always great choices when shopping for dryer options and this model has the particularly attractive benefit of being a heat pump model. Heat pump dryers use a more efficient form of heating than the traditional condenser or vented options by using a clever component to generate heat and compressing drawn-in air rather than heating a particular element as other tumble dryer options would.
The main benefit of this more advanced drying process is that its increased efficiency produces lower energy bills – something that we all desperately need. It does this by operating on around 50% less electricity than alternative, more traditional dryer models earning its A+ energy rating. If you use your tumble dryer multiple times a week or fill it with larger loads that take would take longer to finish, this saving will really add up quickly. This model has an expected annual usage of 270kWh compared to the 560kWh that 8kg condensers are listed at. Heat pump dryer models also don’t release moisture while in operation (like condenser dryers do) making this model particularly suited to reducing mould and humidity issues in the home.
Unpackaging the dryer, it is clear how straightforward it is to use. The dial is clearly labelled with options for speed drying or slower, more efficient cycles depending on what you need. The ComfortDisplay means that there is a large digital timer to show how long your chosen setting will run for with cycles finishing in as little as 30 minutes. On this screen, when the door is opened and a cycle is selected, it will show you the weight of clothing to use for optimum results. With the time and weight shown, I found I didn’t need to even look in the manual to figure out how to use this dryer.
In operation, this tumble dryer has a volume of 65 decibels, so it can be used at night without disturbing the whole house. The useful AutoDry feature means that this machine will detect moisture levels in the drum load to make sure that the correct dryness is reached for each setting. This includes iron-friendly programmes purposefully leaving residual moisture to make ironing easier for you. This is further aided by the SensitiveDrying feature using curved paddles inside the drum to improve air circulation for better results and a reduction in creasing.
Overall, thanks to its heat pump dryer design, this machine is incredibly energy efficient and provides a wide range of cycles to choose from to give your clothing the care it needs. Built to last, it is made by a brand with a great reputation for performance and reliability to give you more surety in your purchase.
