Tumble Dryers > Bosch Tumble Dryers

Advantages: lots - read the review!
Disadvantages: not sure how durable fluff filter will be

...models I opted for this Bosch machine, largely, I have to say, based on its energy efficiency rating (B - don't think there are any dryers out there ranking A, not that I found anyway) and the reliability/durability of the Bosch brand. Yes, it was undoubtedly more expensive than a lot of others on the market but I felt it would be money well spent. So, was I right? It's still early days for me to comment on reliability but I am impressed by a number ...
...in my opinion, the machine will automatically switch off when your load has reached the level of dryness you selected and not just run and run until the programme has finished. * Choice of "dryness levels" - iron dry (i.e. still pretty damp), cupboard dry (ready to go into the airing cupboard/slightly damp), very dry (just right/ready to wear) or extra dry (not tried this yet). * Super large drum able to take 7kg of washing and with rubber paddles ...

Advantages: Condensor - no need to vent, sensor dryer, anti-crease
Disadvantages: expensive

...dryer, but I do. Better make sure my husband doesn't read this.. Of course my SIL's is brand new, so we can't comment on reliability. Bosch are usually brilliant though, so here's hoping. It would be great if another reviewer who'd had one for a few years could comment. ... Read review

Advantages: made by hotpoint??
Disadvantages: everything

...ever would i buy a hotpoint again, specially from the big shop named after a shooting star!! prior to the hotpoint i had some crappy cheap dryer, cant remember the make, but the poor thing went to the skip to be replaced by a totally unreliable hotpoint. very disappointed, my cheap dryer worked perfectly and never let me down once, ok it might not have looked as nice but it sure was a trusty dryer! ...

Advantages: Dries quickly and quietly.
Disadvantages: Condensed moisture leaks everywhere.

It does away with the need to empty the condenser chamber or duct to outside. Very simple to plumb in to existing plumbing and it's very easy to use. It does the job of drying extremely well, and quietly too. However ... We are on our second HHD780X in as many months. The first 'leaked' steam which then condenses everywhere, including inside the dryers enclosure, so we had water everywhere. Seals, ducts and drum were replaced a few times, but ...
...isn't any better! We're now waiting for a return call to find out what can be done in order to sort out the problem, so it's fingers crossed that the problem can be sorted! ******************************************* UPDATE Our 3rd machine works perfectly! Yippee! Ratings have been adjusted accordingly. ... Read review

Advantages: small, good make, very easy to use. both clockwise and anticlockwise drying
Disadvantages: 3kg only

I bought this machine just over a year ago from currys for £100. I was a straight off the shelve display model. Works fine no problems. Only a 3kg dry though, but I can fit most of my 7kg wash into it. Has a cool and a hot heat button. Has a 10 minute cool down time at the end. I have a pipe from it into a white box with water in it. The box with pipes was supposed to be £20 from curries. We didn't entend to get it but we went back in to see that ...
...hold on. They they gave us the box with a longer pipe and one that fits. Great value for money. Very easy to easy, you just turn a dial clockwise. It has both clockwise and anticlockwise drying. the cleaning grid is very easy to remove and easy to clean. should be done after each dry. so easy though its never been a problem. ... Read review
