The Bosch WTW85231 is a flawless series 4 heat pump tumble dryer with an A++ energy rating and an incredibly useful anti vibration system that means drying your washing is significantly quieter. With a wide range of features, including a 24-hour shut off delay, child lock and emergency water drain hose, it is no surprise that this dryer is one of our most popular appliances. In fact, this dryer would be a perfect fit for most households, with an 8kg drum and versatile options to match any challenge that comes its way!
Laundry is both effortless and energy efficient with the addition of built-in sensors. These detect both the weight of the wash load and how well the clothes are drying to help take perfect care of your garments. There are multiple specialist cycles on this tumble dryer designated for shirts, blouses, towels and much, much more. Tailored to specific fabrics, the Bosch WTW85231 ensures that they’re dried gently enough to retain their original texture for optimal results in every situation.
When thinking about the location of the appliance, you are also faced with more versatility by choosing this machine. The condenser tank for the appliance is situated on the top left-hand side of the dryer, giving you easy access to the tank when it’s time to be emptied. If this is something you don’t wish to use, the manufacturer also provides you with a pipe to fit at the back of the dryer so that excess water can be drained straight away from the unit instead of being directed into the condenser tank.
For those who don’t know, heat pump technology uses the same process as condenser dryers. This method uses hot air to remove moisture from the clothes while circulating the air multiple times and reheating it with each rotation using the heating coil. Tumble dryers using heat pump technology do not reach the same temperatures as other types of dryers. This ensures an efficient performance and gentler drying with the after effect of leaving garments softer after a drying cycle.
Potential buyers should note that the Bosch WTW85231 is only available in white. It boasts a cord length of 1.45m and has a maximum power consumption of 1000w. The sophisticated fluff trap is smooth to remove from the machine and easy enough to put back after giving it a clean out. You will be pleased to know that the Bosch dryer comes with a 24-month manufacturer warranty as standard so you get two years of security fully included in the price.
The dryer itself has a time remaining indicator to help you manage both your day and your wash load! It also has a drying level of high or low heat and a crease guard that makes your life so much easier by not having to stand for hours getting those creases smoothed out.
Overall, the Bosch WTW85321GB is a lovely appliance to add to a household. In summary, it is cost effective, energy efficient, durable and overflowing with new technology. It looks smart and, when paired up with one of Bosch’s washers, makes a lovely set in a kitchen or utility room. Either way, our opinion is that you can’t go wrong with this appliance!
