really happy to see you doing a review again! your reviews are extremely good and I missed watching them as it may sound but I just like seeing things I can't really afford 🤣 overall great review as usual and can't wait to see other new videos!
Thank you!! Im going to do a few update videos of my previous reviews soon and also some of them in action. Then review some smaller 'cheaper' household items :-)
Thank you sooo much for this video, it helped me a lot haha. I recently bought the Bosch Home Professional (WTX87EH0TR) model, which is apparently the most higher end but it has the exact same screen, menus and programs like yours. It's not delivered yet but I was worried about all those don't buy a “self cleaning” machine they get ruined after 1-2 years etc comments (like what happened to your old dryer). But after watching your video, I realized that Self-Clean condenser models and AutoClean models are actually really different compared to eachother. My model also has the AutoClean function like yours, so hopefully it doesn't get broken in like a year or two, and lasts longer haha. Once again thanks for the video, best dryer review i've ever seen so far!! ❤️ Do you know if the service needs to clean it every year or two, did they tell you something like that ? Also, subscribed to your channel so if you have anything to tell or share about this machine in the future, please do it haha. Because I can't find anyone else using it.
Hi! Thanks for subscribing!! I dont post much but I do try! Service, I am actually unsure - I didn't purchase from Bosch directly therefore the machine just turned up and that was that. I haven't had it ask me to run a maintenance program yet, but I do already have some of the chemical cleaner from Bosch that I got for my pervious machine. I will post some updates, the next one will be when it asks me to clean the fluff filter and then after that I will do another for the maintenance clean.
@@everythingandthekitchensink Thank you for the reply!! From what I got your model and my model (basically new higher end models) has a “basic appliance care program” on the settings. And the other models doesn't have that, so they have to call the service for maintenance. So I think we probably won't need the service. Looking up to the fluff video and maintenance video, thanks!!
I think what likely has happened with your old clothes dryer is that the evaporator/condenser fins will have clogged up with dust and lint, leading to significantly reduced efficiency and airflow. The Self-cleaning feature is supposed to keep the condenser fins free of dirt, but after quite a number of years of use the lint will still build up in other places than the front evaporator coil, like the sump for example. If you do a bit more searching, you'll find videos showing condenser fins caked with lint, the insides of the dryer full of dust, etc. It's really good to see that with the dryer in the video there's an openable hatch door to access the condenser, your previous dryer probably didn't have that which is a bit of a shame. As far as alternative heat pump dryer brands go, I would suggest checking out Beko's range next time.
Here are three example videos of what I'm talking about: ruclips.net/video/K7TLldVklig/видео.htmlm01s ruclips.net/video/3lAwOq0Fc84/видео.htmlm10s ruclips.net/video/9Xu38nxVzlg/видео.htmlm05s Some of these dryers are supposedly equipped with condenser self-cleaning systems...
Hi, thanks for your feedback! You are right, it isn't possible to see the condenser without cutting in to the plastic fronting at the bottom of the machine. I did use the recommend cleaning solutions from Bosch to clean through the condensers etc but I guess it just did not work that well. This new dryer lets you see the condenser but not really clean it manually, but at least I can keep an eye on it over the years and make sure it stays clean. Thanks for the links :-)
I have found that the selfCleaning System sort of requires more maintenance than my old "normal" Siemens condenser dryer (that I upgraded with 2 filters at some point). Previously, I'd regularly clean the main filter and then vacuum both filters once a week. Now, I'm diligent about vacuuming both filters inside and out (there's lint everywhere on the 1st filter), as well as the rubber seal the filters sit on. When doing small loads like shirts, I'll sometimes fill the tank full, so that the cleaning cycle has water to work with. So far, when I stick my phone down the air path and take a video (the only way to "see" in between the fins) it's all clean after 1.5 years. Animal hair can sometimes also lead to issues over time (clogging), I've heard.
Totally agree. I had mine for 7 years and for the last months the drying process took longer and the clothes were humid. I saw a video in RUclips and disambled the dryer until reaching the condenser which had a wall of fluff. Vacuumed it and cleaned the condenser with a toothbrush, put everything back, and now it is working like new!!!!. I strongly recommend taking pictures of every step of the process so you are sure that everything is again like it was originally. I am very proud of having done this. And thanks for doing videos that help people.
Hi, this is sooo helpful. Can you tell me what ur previous model was pls? I’m getting ready to buy a new one so just want to b sure about what I’m getting. I’ve had a Bosch tumble condenser dryer for 25 yrs and it’s never given me an ounce of problems. I’m a bit put off the series 8 cos I’d rather just empty the fluff than have to get down to empty where the condenser used to be. Im 69 so it's not so easy to get up once im on the floor anymore😂. anyhow thanks again for this very helpful and insightful video.
Hi, it was Wtw87560gb, but I believe it’s no longer made now. Worked well at first but I had issues towards the end and it wasn’t very old. Thanks for the feedback! Most of their dryers are standard styles were you empty the fluff out the door after each dry, I don’t think the model I have had proved very popular.
Can you insert filter behind the door so that fluff doesnt go down to bottom filter? Thats kinda puting me off from buying this dryer because I dont want to touch wet fluff.
You could if you brought a different filter from Bosch for a similar machine, but it’s not worth getting this model if you don’t want the autolclean feature, just get the standard series 8 dryer.
Hi I would like to don that myself t it I don’t have anywhere for the water to drain so I can’t really setup sorry! It looks easy enough though, just plug in the tube, remove the stopper from under the drain drawer unit and remove the blue filter from the top. The instructions show it clearly enough I think. Sorry I can’t actually show you.
Hi, I have just bought this model and am getting a buzzing/rattling noise from behind the air inlet area (bottom right) you can hear it kick in about 1 minute after starting the cycle, does yours do this? Oddly though if I pause the cycle and restart it then it stops buzzing . I don’t feel this is right and find it very irritating. Thanks. Tom 😊
Hi! I don’t recall a sound coming from the vent, normally I can only hear the clothes tumbling. I think the sounds you hear maybe normal noises coming from the compressor and parts starting up. If it’s similar to the sound a fridge makes I wouldn’t worry too much about it.
Hi I currently have a Samsung dryer. Samsung dryers have a lower down vent/inside grate thingy. Do Bosch dryers have this? The Samsung one needs cleaning every 15/20 drying loads. The metal grate is notorious for getting damaged. I'm very interested in this dryer. If it doesn't have a metal grate that needs brushing I may by this.
Hi. The door is thick plastic that you remove and wash. The filter is standard plastic mesh. There is no need to brush anything in inside once you remove the fluff collecting compartment. So far I have cleaned it out many times and there is none issue at all with wear or damage. Hope that helps.
Do you have a draw picture ? where the water goes for the easy iron section. I have the same machine but I am in Turkey, all the instructions are Turkish so I am getting through them slowly.
No issues at all, really good at drying and most important for me it barely uses any electric so very cheap to run, just pay little more to buy it but in the long run it saves money.
Have you had the Cottons program constantly stop after 5 mins? Have set the program to cottons, chosen cupboard dry, as I have a series 8 washing machine set the spin speed to 1600, start the program but after around 5 mins it keeps saying program finished 🤷♂️
@@everythingandthekitchensink It was to do with the fact the washing was pretty much dry , so there was very little moisture if any for the sensor to pick up so as far as it was concerned the washing was dry. It was easier just to put it all on a timed warm program for an hour
There should be steam coming out of the nozzle. At those programs the drum is full of steam. I use this option all the time instead of ironing. Works great. Call service
I’ve tried the programme twice now. Nothing seems to happen for about 10 mins then it looks like mist water during the rest of the programme…no steam at all? Must be broken!
@@everythingandthekitchensink Hi, no it's not broken. Mine also pumps water into the drum and acts like it's steam lol. This is probably how they're designed, they don't have a steam generator.
Hi, I have an another question since I bought the same dryer, on your dryer, do you have to touch the start/reload button much harder compared to other buttons ? All the buttons dedects my touches with a normal soft touch, but I have to press really hard to the start button. Is it the same on yours ? I would be happy if you can reply, so I don't have to call the service for something that's not important lol.
Hi! I wouldn’t say I have to press it any harder, they are not pressure sensitive. But the start stop button does require more of a press in the centre and sometimes does not respond. I don’t think it’s a design problem.
@@everythingandthekitchensink Thank you so much!! Yeah, it's unresponsive sometimes compared to the other ones, that's what I meant haha. I also have an another question, sorry for asking a lot this is my first dryer and i'm kinda confused lol. When you try to turn the drum with your hand, does it hardly turn and make some weird noise like it's touching something, compared to washing machines ? Hope you understand my question, here's a video of mine if you don't understand it: ruclips.net/user/shorts0kncZYfUKVw?feature=share
@@navizat Hi, my machine started making weird knocking sounds, can you please check the video in my channel on the Shorts section, does yours make the same sound ?
How easy is it to reverse the door on this dryer? I just got my dryer today and started following the instructions or how to do this in the manual, I got the door off just fine, but the illustration then became a bit unclear so I just put the door back on as it was.
I have a Siemens iq 700 self cleaning 11years old just been serviced £980 back then no WiFi though same company has Bosch but in time at the age will need cleaning because it age but brilliant machines
@everythingandthekitchensink I paid £980 for dryer not serviced? I took a domestic and general insurance on it last year which was 9 years old at £11 a month because 5 years guarantee was up 4 years ago so it was wise to take the insurance out
The rotation have one direction like previous dry machine you talk about? You had sometime isseu with drying your big size blankets , have this upgrade solve that problem..? ( sorry my english is not the best hehe)
It looks like all condenser dryers have a single spin direction. The heat pump can only draw air one way, or you will get moist air pulled into it the wrong way. To make it go the opposite way they would need to add another motor. That would be quite costly, so they forgo it all together.
Don’t think so, it’s clean water most the time and also it dries out and heats up so that process should keep bacteria at bay. Every so often it asks you to Run a maintenance programme that flushes put everything.
Just came across this video and what i see is something that happened quite alot with bosch….They should have a filter,yours has what seems like a show-room filter,call bosch and ask them specifically because you might break it and it is they’re fault for not being careful enough with they’re products
Hi. This dryer is a heat pump dryer. I wanted the best model they had and at the time this was it. What I really brought it for was the auto cleaning fluff filter feature, the fact it was heat pump too was a bonus. I also liked that it was very cheap to run.
@Everything AND the Kitchen Sink Does all the water collected at the bottom of the machine with fluff because of the self-cleaning function cause any problems (mould, smell, etc)? Does it dry out or this compartment always wet? thanks
Not had any issues yet with that. If you use it regularly then I don’t think mould and all that be a problem. If you were to go away for a while I would recommend cleaning it out before leaving it.
Does it dry clothes and towels 100percent? Cuz i had a beko and it would dry but the waist of the jeans would be a little damp 🤷🏼♀️ also can you heat up ur clothes with it like in the winter before wearing my mom in usa would heat up our clothes
Hi! Yes it gets everything very dry, especially towels using the towel setting. I have had no issues with items not drying if you use the cotton program. it has a warm setting that you can use to heat up clothes in winter if necessary. I’ve never tried it but I think it would work although heat pump dryers do take a little longer to heat up compared to standard dryers so you may have to wait a little bit longer than a few minutes.
Hi the bottom unit where the condenser and filters are fills up with water. Is this the self cleaning function or a fault? Where does the water go or does it build up and overflow?
I’ve got this dryer. It’s brand new. Didn’t come with instructions. I want to use on condenser. It’s heating up but no water coming out anywhere!! It’s taken 3 days of just spinning to dry half a washer load/ Anyone know what I’m doing wrong?
Is it completely brand-new only asking because they may have changed the water plumbing at the back to make it drain out into the waste pipe instead of the compartment at the top and that is what’s causing the issue? Fact it’s taking a long time to drain, could be that the filter at the bottom is not close properly and is escaping ? If you go online, you can get the instruction manual from Bosch.
Very useful video but you didn’t mention the m😅DWP number, currently there seems to be 2 serie 8 which have a couple of different letters… the wtx88eh9gb and wtx88rh9gb and to be honest I can’t work out the £200 price difference but knowing your model may shed some light. Thanks!
@@everythingandthekitchensink Thank you for that, I thought it was cause of the tft display. Is the auto clean working well (I am watching so many videos on heat pump modems not working we’ll die to “fluff issues”…? And I need a bargain like yours!!
@@Blind-Dave hi! Auto clean seems to work really well. No issues! I have found that it’s important to leave some water in the collection area when emptying it as some times there is not enough water in the clothes to fill it enough so that it fully flushed the filter when cleaning, so leaving some in allows it to clean each time. My only issue with the dryer is no reverse tumble which means my bedding has to be taken out a number of times and shaken to fully dry!
@@everythingandthekitchensink hmm … interesting re the water in the tank as I was going to connect the hose out to a drain so I assume no water goes to the condensate tank. It does seem odd such a high end machine doesn’t reverse tumble.
@@Blind-Dave if you connect a pipe I think it keeps water in the drawer all the time in separate cleaning section that gets filled first and then any overflow will go out the pipe into the drain. The reverse tumble is only an issue with large bedding, most the time it does not matter.
How loud is it . Mine is brand new and i plugged it in nkw Nd it makes a continuous buzzing sound ljke and old a/c outdoor uit, pretty loud i had to stop it
I absolutely hate my serie 8. There is always some complicated thing to do to it. Even changing the fluff filter needs a bucket, a trek to the sink which is large enough to contain the mess. Scooping out wet fluff by hand, pouring off the excess water, dragging bits of wet fluff out the sink so it doesn’t block the sink. Emptying and refilling the water container constantly, I don’t know why? Managing not to loose the tiny drain plug that falls out constantly and three filters that need complicated programs. Buying the stupid fluid is annoying and a cleaning programme that last FOUR hours just when you urgently need something drying. The warning lights only flash at the start/end which I never notice until I realise I’ve put the same load on seven times and it’s still wet. I hate it. Worst dryer I’ve ever owned.
Common faults with them needs deep clean all the fluff in the heat charger it can get damaged by taking it out it's a risk and £400 to replace? Even though it cleans it self should leave the water in there till it says abort
Really? Wow... I always use fabric softener...otherwise the clothes dont smell as nice and fresh after a wash. Hopefully the self clean feature will handle the build up of lint.
Can you please check my last comment in here please, I really need your help about if I should call the service or not 🥲 Sorry if i'm being annoying but I need to do find an answer in a week if there's something wrong so they can change the machine.
Hello. I did reply to your previous message but can’t seem to find your message or my reply on the comments? The start button does require a more careful press on mind to start the dryer. I don’t think it’s a fault, probably just designed that way to reduce false starts? Hope that helps
@@everythingandthekitchensink Oh, RUclips probably filtered my comment and you can't see it then, because it shows up on mine. I'm not talking about the button thing. Do you have an Instagram or something or an email so I can send you from there so you can see ? I don't know why RUclips blocks it, probably because it was a long comment.
@@My.MusicChannel hi, sorry I don’t only on here. If it’s about the service program I responded to that too? I haven’t had to run the service program yet and have not read anywhere about needing up call out an engineer to service it every few years?
@@everythingandthekitchensink No, my device stops tumbling during the last SelfCleaning towards the end of the program and makes really weird noises, and it doesn't stop tumbling again until for like 4-5 minutes. I knew this happens because of SelfCleaning, but in RUclips videos I saw it was starting to tumble again just seconds after. My comment included a video I took for you, so you could check it, maybe that's why it was blocked since it had a RUclips link ? I don't know. I really want to be able to show you & ask about that because it's rare to find someone who's using this machine and you're my only solution right now lol.

Run a maintenance programme that flushes put everything.
@@everythingandthekitchensink what is the exact model number of yours? I have just bought the WTX87EH0TR

Just came across this video and what i see is something that happened quite alot with bosch….They should have a filter,yours has what seems like a show-room filter,call bosch and ask them specifically because you might break it and it is they’re fault for not being careful enough with they’re products
cheers great video
Why did u choose a condenser dryer over a heat pump dryer?
Hi. This dryer is a heat pump dryer. I wanted the best model they had and at the time this was it. What I really brought it for was the auto cleaning fluff filter feature, the fact it was heat pump too was a bonus. I also liked that it was very cheap to run.
@Everything AND the Kitchen Sink Does all the water collected at the bottom of the machine with fluff because of the self-cleaning function cause any problems (mould, smell, etc)? Does it dry out or this compartment always wet? thanks
Not had any issues yet with that. If you use it regularly then I don’t think mould and all that be a problem. If you were to go away for a while I would recommend cleaning it out before leaving it.
on your old model i saw a guy dismantling it and it had lint everywhere within it. thats the problem
Think I have seen the same vids
Does it dry clothes and towels 100percent? Cuz i had a beko and it would dry but the waist of the jeans would be a little damp 🤷🏼♀️ also can you heat up ur clothes with it like in the winter before wearing my mom in usa would heat up our clothes
Hi! Yes it gets everything very dry, especially towels using the towel setting. I have had no issues with items not drying if you use the cotton program. it has a warm setting that you can use to heat up clothes in winter if necessary. I’ve never tried it but I think it would work although heat pump dryers do take a little longer to heat up compared to standard dryers so you may have to wait a little bit longer than a few minutes.
Hi the bottom unit where the condenser and filters are fills up with water. Is this the self cleaning function or a fault? Where does the water go or does it build up and overflow?
Hi it gets pumped up to the collector at the top. No overflows.
i had this same model , it lasted two weeks, went on marketplace , now got a miele. couldnt stand it
I’m looking at a Miele, which one to choose though 🤔
I’ve got this dryer. It’s brand new. Didn’t come with instructions.
I want to use on condenser. It’s heating up but no water coming out anywhere!!
It’s taken 3 days of just spinning to dry half a washer load/
Anyone know what I’m doing wrong?
Is it completely brand-new only asking because they may have changed the water plumbing at the back to make it drain out into the waste pipe instead of the compartment at the top and that is what’s causing the issue? Fact it’s taking a long time to drain, could be that the filter at the bottom is not close properly and is escaping ? If you go online, you can get the instruction manual from Bosch.
Very useful video but you didn’t mention the m😅DWP number, currently there seems to be 2 serie 8 which have a couple of different letters… the wtx88eh9gb and wtx88rh9gb and to be honest I can’t work out the £200 price difference but knowing your model may shed some light. Thanks!
Sorry I forgot! Mines the wtx88eh9gb model number
@@everythingandthekitchensink Thank you for that, I thought it was cause of the tft display.
Is the auto clean working well (I am watching so many videos on heat pump modems not working we’ll die to “fluff issues”…?
And I need a bargain like yours!!
@@Blind-Dave hi! Auto clean seems to work really well. No issues! I have found that it’s important to leave some water in the collection area when emptying it as some times there is not enough water in the clothes to fill it enough so that it fully flushed the filter when cleaning, so leaving some in allows it to clean each time. My only issue with the dryer is no reverse tumble which means my bedding has to be taken out a number of times and shaken to fully dry!
@@everythingandthekitchensink hmm … interesting re the water in the tank as I was going to connect the hose out to a drain so I assume no water goes to the condensate tank.
It does seem odd such a high end machine doesn’t reverse tumble.
@@Blind-Dave if you connect a pipe I think it keeps water in the drawer all the time in separate cleaning section that gets filled first and then any overflow will go out the pipe into the drain. The reverse tumble is only an issue with large bedding, most the time it does not matter.
How loud is it . Mine is brand new and i plugged it in nkw Nd it makes a continuous buzzing sound ljke and old a/c outdoor uit, pretty loud i had to stop it
Not that loud for me? It’s in cupboard and I close the door
I absolutely hate my serie 8. There is always some complicated thing to do to it. Even changing the fluff filter needs a bucket, a trek to the sink which is large enough to contain the mess. Scooping out wet fluff by hand, pouring off the excess water, dragging bits of wet fluff out the sink so it doesn’t block the sink. Emptying and refilling the water container constantly, I don’t know why? Managing not to loose the tiny drain plug that falls out constantly and three filters that need complicated programs. Buying the stupid fluid is annoying and a cleaning programme that last FOUR hours just when you urgently need something drying. The warning lights only flash at the start/end which I never notice until I realise I’ve put the same load on seven times and it’s still wet. I hate it. Worst dryer I’ve ever owned.
Common faults with them needs deep clean all the fluff in the heat charger it can get damaged by taking it out it's a risk and £400 to replace? Even though it cleans it self should leave the water in there till it says abort
NEVER use fabric softener if you have a heatpump tumble dryer. It builds up with the fine lint to clog the innards.
Really? Wow... I always use fabric softener...otherwise the clothes dont smell as nice and fresh after a wash. Hopefully the self clean feature will handle the build up of lint.
Looks the business & performs badly! Pay that little bit extra & go with the Miele, all day long!
Can you please check my last comment in here please, I really need your help about if I should call the service or not 🥲 Sorry if i'm being annoying but I need to do find an answer in a week if there's something wrong so they can change the machine.
Hello. I did reply to your previous message but can’t seem to find your message or my reply on the comments? The start button does require a more careful press on mind to start the dryer. I don’t think it’s a fault, probably just designed that way to reduce false starts? Hope that helps
@@everythingandthekitchensink Oh, RUclips probably filtered my comment and you can't see it then, because it shows up on mine. I'm not talking about the button thing. Do you have an Instagram or something or an email so I can send you from there so you can see ? I don't know why RUclips blocks it, probably because it was a long comment.
@@My.MusicChannel hi, sorry I don’t only on here. If it’s about the service program I responded to that too? I haven’t had to run the service program yet and have not read anywhere about needing up call out an engineer to service it every few years?
@@everythingandthekitchensink No, my device stops tumbling during the last SelfCleaning towards the end of the program and makes really weird noises, and it doesn't stop tumbling again until for like 4-5 minutes. I knew this happens because of SelfCleaning, but in RUclips videos I saw it was starting to tumble again just seconds after. My comment included a video I took for you, so you could check it, maybe that's why it was blocked since it had a RUclips link ? I don't know. I really want to be able to show you & ask about that because it's rare to find someone who's using this machine and you're my only solution right now lol.
