Not a premium product - don’t recommend!!

Bought Bosch series 8 Tumble Dryer brand new. It worked ok until about a year ago (about 2 and a half years) when it started making a bearing noise. Now it is leaving the clothes damp and not drying properly. We have fastidiously maintained the lint filters kept them always clean and free of lint. The machine looks brand new. It is unfortunate that what should be a premium brand and costs a premium price should be so flawed. I read online now that this appears to be a common fault - without any user cleanable or repairable parts looks to be flawed in parts and design. Very disappointing. I would recommend to buy another brand as the this all occurred relatively shortly after the warranty expired!!

Designed to fail

The “self cleaning” condenser is designed so that it gets clogged with fluff and stops drying efficiently or at all after some time. Even though the lint filter was cleaned religiously after each load, it no longer heats up and dries anything. It seems that this is because the condenser is clogged and it’s too expensive to pay anyone to pull the entire thing apart to flush the condenser. So a $2.5k washer does not last more than 5 years. Not recommended. Show details

Doesnt dry, Bosch technician said it was fine

Doesnt dry properly. After taking out a load of 5 pieces of clothes that are still damp after 2.5hrs of drying, i thought I should write something to warn others.

This is a terrible dryer. It takes all day to dry a full load. We got a technician out after a few months and they declared there was nothing wrong with it. This was our first dryer, and naively we believed them.

Don't know why we've persisted with it for so long, but next weekend I'm getting a hisense.

Looking at all the other problems people have had with Bosch heat pump dryers, I'd warn anyone from buying one. I certainly never am again. Show details

I would give 0 if there’s an option

I paid more for this dryer to last. But didn’t expect it to last 3 years bc them what’s the point to get mor $$ dryer when you can just get cheap ones and replace them more often?!
Moisture sensor malfunction and what does Bosch do about it?
Nothing
It’s out of warranty so they would not even offer a technician to come out and have a look without charging me… ridiculous… I did not know they don’t consider amount you pay for their products, as there’s no point to get something more expensive to expect it’s better quality and that it will last you longer… Show details

Doesn't dry clothes.... the one job it needs to do

Worked initially, not like a usual dryer but I didn't expect that. Now failing to dry clothes at all or takes 5hours, have followed the trouble shooting - it makes no difference. Expensive and doesn't work. Do not buy, all reviews say the same thing, but were not available when we purchased. Clearly a problem with the product as discontinued.

I called the number provided by Bosch- I get to book a service call at my own expense.

Update - we payed the $165 call out fee, they said they were unable to fix, we've been quoted an additional $635 to fix the dryer - so $800 total. Show details

I thought Bosch Product is made to Last

We bought this product in Good Guys. Minimum 3.5 hours to dry 1 load of clothes. Worst was it is only less than 3 years old and Pump is not working already. Water sits on the bottom part of the machine. Not sure if Bosch is still a leading brand that we can trust. Show details

Do Not Buy This Dryer If You Want To Dry Bed Linen

This dryer does not dry cotton sheets. I have had the dryer for 13 months and have complainted to Bosch numerous times in the last 5 months. Whether I put in 1 QS sheet or a sheet set, the dryer turns them into a tightly wound ball and I have to keep stopping the cycle and unwinding the sheet/s every 5 minutes. Bosch have told me to fold the sheets and reduce the speed. I tried the towel cycle and the 'down/quilt' cycle. Same result. This dryer is not working as advertised.

Worst dryer EVER

As with everyone, worked kind of ok to start, now takes 6 hours to dry one towel. I hardly used this dryer, because hours later everything still wet. Service guy said low usage but seems nothing wrong with it. Piece of landfill, expensive, hopeless with sheets, so frustrated I would never buy a Bosch again, and I tell all my friends the same when they ask for recommendations. Buy anything else, even one from KMart!!! Show details
