I have this dryer and it's fab. I'm pleased to find out from your video that the bottom filter is so easy to maintain. As other past dryers gave needed the entire filtervto be removed and hosed down in the shower or sink. Great machine. I've noticed it's best to pause it , whereas I just stop it. But I'm happy with my machine.
Many thanks. Great video. Got one delivered yesterday and you’ve saved me some time reading the instructions in German, although it’s not much hassle. Didn’t come with the drain hose though here in Frankfurt!.
I like ours a lot. The main thing for our needs is to simply use the driest setting for cotton. We love that it has no vent to cause the laundry to go mouldy with condensation any more, & with this one, we can keep our house warm & shut all the doors with the water going down the drain instead. Takes a bit longer, so normally run it overnight using the timer so it doesn't matter, & we only use the drier when its rainy
Very helpful video, thank you. I have just ordered one of these dryers and feel that I will be able to navigate the settings easily from what you have demonstrated here.
Thanks so much. Have just bought this dryer and your video, in conjunction with reading the instruction manual, makes it easier to obtain the best performance.
Had this delivered yesterday and first impression was Wow, why didn’t we got this any earlier? We did 4 loads of washing/drying and it barley used 10Kw of electricity. Brilliant dryer.
Did your dryer dry clothes . How long did they take. Very worried I may get another lemon. Actually got 2 lemons . Top brand Meile . Bought 2 lines to dry under deck. Until I can get advice on really good heat pump dryer . Any one tell me please
@@maureenmcelholum1280 We have had the dryer for just over 2 months now. Average 2 wash per week and it hasn’t failed to dry a single time. Most of the time we use cupboard dry setting, it initially shows timer as 3 hrs but it often finishes within two hrs unless dryer is full with heavy clothes like jackets and tracksuits. I am very satisfied with the dryer.
Cheers for the video. I've just bought a similar model and found your instruction very handy. I have read a few reviews and it would appear that a few people don't get how it works. I think that if you come from using an old machine that just spins and heats you need to understand that these new machines are all about NOT shrinking your favourite jumper. Hence they don't deliver hot garments like they used to. Thank you
You prolly dont give a damn but does anyone know a tool to log back into an instagram account? I somehow lost my account password. I love any assistance you can give me!
@Shepard Grey i really appreciate your reply. I found the site on google and I'm in the hacking process atm. Seems to take a while so I will reply here later with my results.
I have a similar model dryer (none condenser - vented) and washer, its been fine and works really well. The touch to start (its like a touch screen not a button) is quite tricky sometimes, i find my self trying a few times for it to recognise that i'm pressing it before it starts (got to get used to pressing it a specific way). If you don't have enough damp clothes in the dryer, in summer months it doesn't always stay on fully. The sensor knocks it off way before its dry like 2 minutes sometimes, so you'll need to add a time. Just my observations for far overall I'm very happy with them.
Really helpful clear advice. However, would benefit from an expanded explanation of how the alternative drainage option.... from the gravity fed condensate exhaust conduit.... which is very simple.....can readily work. Many customers would benefit from this simple advice and arrangement.... which appears not to be clear.
Thank you for your easy to listen to/watch video...I have purchased one of this model and cannot get the hang of it yet....used to the normal kind...guess I'll get there. The start /pause just doesn't respond....??
Some of the buttons on the Bosch appliances can take a bit of getting used to especially if your finger isn't covering the button fully. Thanks for the feedback
Thanks for the video on how to use the Bosch series 4.i just purchased on but it did not come with the water drainage pipe.are there different type dryers although it is a series 4.
These dryers are a nightmare. You can have them on all day and everything is still damp inside and it rolls everything into a ball which further hinders the drying results as it has no reverse function.
Totally agree!! Had mine for 2 years and thinking of getting rid of it. Nothing comes out dry no matter what programme is used. Fail to see how it is energy efficient when you have to constantly add more drying time!!
Can you tell me how to clean a sump pump? Considering I dried my clothes 4times and I am already getting errors that water tank is full but its empty. How come manufacturers dont mention it at all?
Good video. I've got the exact same model. We just completed our first load. Any reason why no water will be captured in the condensation capture device?
Do you mean the water container? If you are using a drain outlet, then the machine will pump the excess water out rather than storing it, if yours has this feature.
Lords Electrical the Drain outlet hasn't bern installed. We were going to use the water container. I can install the drain outlet. Just wondering as we thought the machine wasn't working correctly. Since no water was in the container after our first load dried.
Does this dryer have the option of reverse tumble - I find that duvet covers/sheets get all tangled up into a ball and don't dry properly unless you keep untangling them!
Unfortunately they will be single direction rather than reverse tumble. They try to make better designed paddles inside so that it helps the clothes to turn in the drum.
Hi, thanks for your video, it was helpful but it would be more helpful if when talking about the nice big door and how easy it is to open that you told us whether or not the door is reversible and if so how to do it, thanks, Mary. Ps. That's the info i was looking for
I have just had a look and nothing is mentioned in the instructions about reversing the door. On the appliance it does look like it is possible though, but i couldn't 100% say that it would be ok to do.
My dryer is a Bosch Serie 4 as in this video and it does a thumping sound. I bought it last april. The local company technician told me it is normal. But he did not convince me at all. It is still under guarantee. What is it please cos it s bothering me alot. Apart from this I recommend it. Thanks
Is the noise towards the end of the drying programme? If it is then it could be where it is pumping the water up into the container and the flap shutting on the container.
@@lords-electrical thanks for answering my query. I appreciate. No it s not that pump sound which you mentioned. It does a thumping sound randomly throughout the cycle. It s bothering me alot. The technician took out the upper lid only and told me that everything us fine. Is us possible that I send you a video pls? ( if I can manage!) Thanks again.
@@dorispace1562 Hi recently i bought a HOOVER tumble dryer /heat pump , i am experiencing they same thing, you have the normal tumble sound of clothes as the drum turns, but then you have this continuous deep base thump it sounds like a heavy knock , every time the drum turns.
I've bought a Bosch dryer like the one in the video and it just doesn't do the job. In fact, I've tried all the settings on it but the end results are always the same---- I get back hot damp clothes. No Thanks! What I need now is a no nonsense American dryer.
Yes, probably as a subcontractor, Beko being Turkish. My older Bosch model without the LED display is Turkish-made. Bosch has six plants across Turkey and is expanding. Historically, Turkey has been a low wage producer of some German-owned brands, similar to how Hong Kong was to the UK and Mexico to the United States. Arguably, it's mis-selling, companies like Bosch making you believe you are buying German, but it'll be made cheaper, low-cost countries. Same with VW among others.
It is normally in the inside of the door just on the inside of the dryer drum. Hopefully if you wipe it over with a damp cloth then it can really help with the drying process.
Finished In is a time delay option. If you want to delay the programme finishing then select how many hours it is before you want the programme to end. This has the advantage that you can use Economy 7 for cheap electricity at night, or you if you are out you can get the machine to finish when you arrive back so the clothes are not sitting there hours after the machine has finished which can help to reduce creasing in your clothes.
You will find that a heat pump dryer can take longer than a normal condenser dryer to dry the clothes. it can also depend on the ambient temperature that the dryer is in. If it is in a garage or outhouse, then it will take a lot longer to dry than if it is in a kitchen that is a lot warmer. Also make sure you are using a programme like Cupboard dry on the Cottons side, and not Iron dry, as it will end up drying them and leaving them a bit damp.
Does your dryer ever dry the clothes. That’s exactly what happen to me with Meile , days & still not dry. I thought I was alone with this problem. What did u do, return dryer?
It can be used in the garage, but you will find that when it is cold outside that the drying process will take a lot longer. If it is in a garage personally i would get a normal condenser dryer. We have had several comments from customers that their new dryer is taking ages to dry and not that happy about it. Great question though
Be bought a Bosch condenser dryer. Neither the auto off or timed functions work properly, no matter the heat setting. Bosch customer service has been extremely rude, unprofessional and unhelpful. We have also had issues with some other appliances from them. DOES NOT WORK. NO SUPPORT. AVOID!
As it takes approx 50% longer per load then surely the motor and bearings and pumps will fail sooner than a traditional dryer meaning that it will ware out and need replacing sooner, I suspect that the cost of premature failure would cancel out any financial savings made on electricity usage , also environmentally I suspect the energy used in producing the extra dryers required to compensate for the shorter life would use more energy than the design would save. Also it seems that the self clean system on this design of dryer (all makes not just Bosch) does not work very well which causes the length of time per dry to increase considerably over time making the problem worse. Also no one seems to mention that the ambient temperature the dryer operates in has a marked effect on drying time and efficiency, they need a minimum temp of 15 degrees to work so in winter no good in garage or unheated utility room. Think carefully before purchase ! U
That is correct about the dryer in the ambient temperature and that is the same for any heat pump dryer, we do not normally recommend a heat pump dryer in an outside location. The first comment about the appliance failing sooner can also be correct which is why we sell so many Siemens heat pump dryers. They come with a 5 year warranty, so even if there should be a failure it will get fixed under the warranty. This way there is plenty of time to take advantage of the cheaper running cost. Great feedback though, thanks

These dryers (ours is a Serie 6) are crapola! They may be cheap to run, but they need to run for hours and hours and hours and still don’t get clothes dry. I’m certain that if you worked out how much power it actually needs to use, it would be no more efficient at best. Terrible move to buy this. It certainly means I will not be moving to heat pumps for my central heating and hot water and will buy a new gas unit before we are forced by law to go green. It is a racket, beware.
I just bought the new version with auto cleanup heat pump. Horribly slow. it uses 15 amp fuses @ 250 volts while the Miele use 15 amp fuses @ 120 volts. Yest, two times more energy. Yet, this Bosch dryer takes 3 to 4 times longer than the Miele to dry. It takes literally 3 hours or even more. While de Miele will take 55 minutes. Stay AWAY from Bosch. You've been warned.
