Discover heat pump tumble dryers from Bosch

• Use much lower drying temperatures (gentler on clothes).
• Typically use less energy than vented or conventional condenser dryers, although energy consumption varies by model and programme.
• Don’t need an external vent; they either collect condensate in a tank or use a drain hose.
• Often have longer cycle times because they dry at lower temperatures.

Heat-pump dryers are Bosch's most energy-efficient tumble dryer technology. Energy consumption varies by model, programme and load size, but heat-pump models typically use less electricity than vented or conventional condenser dryers. Running costs depend on factors including appliance settings, usage patterns and electricity prices. Please refer to the product energy label and specification sheet for model-specific energy consumption information.

• Clean the lint filter after every cycle.
• Empty the condensate tank or connect the drain hose to a drain if available.
• Clean the heat‑exchanger/condensate unit per the manual (many Bosch models feature a SelfCleaning Condenser that reduces this frequency).
• Occasionally check and clean secondary filters and sealing areas as instructed in the user guide.

How well do they dry and how long do cycles take? Heat‑pump dryers dry effectively and are gentler on fabrics, but because they operate at lower temperatures they can take longer than vented dryers. Bosch machines use sensor drying to stop when items reach the selected dryness, avoiding overdrying. Choose the correct programme (e.g., cotton, mixed, delicate, quick) and avoid overloading for best results.

What are the installation requirements for a Bosch heat‑pump dryer (venting, drainage and stacking)? Bosch heat‑pump dryers do not need an external vent, so they can be installed in most indoor locations (utility rooms, kitchens, apartments). Drainage options:

• Manual: empty the condensate tank after each drying cycle.
• Permanent: connect the supplied drain hose to a suitable drain or siphon for continuous drainage. Stacking and placement:
• Many models can be stacked on compatible Bosch front‑loading washing machines with an approved stacking kit (sold separately). Confirm model compatibility, the washer’s load/weight limits and the dryer’s attachment instructions in the manual.
• Place the dryer on a stable, level surface and leave the minimum clearances specified in the installation instructions. Avoid unheated outdoor locations or places where temperatures can drop below freezing.
