Having a dryer at home provides great benefits when it comes to having your laundry done. A daily housekeeping task, air-drying fresh laundry not only takes time and effort; space and weather constraints also make air-drying clothes a hassle – from individually pegging wet clothes onto the clothes line, to waiting for them to air dry. Plus, your clean laundry is also exposed to the elements and can trap dust and dirt found in the air.

With a dryer, enjoy the convenience of washing, drying and storing clean clothes into the wardrobe immediately for use – no matter the size of your laundry load. Here are the benefits a dryer offers, making your daily laundry routine feel easy breezy.

Say goodbye to the line, and say hello to efficient drying.

Drying clothes inside on a rack or over a radiator in winter takes time. Additionally, laundry left to dry evaporates up to 4 litres of water inside, which can result in mould on the walls.

To counter this, excess humidity must be directed straight outside through an open window. After, the room needs to be reheated again, which increases energy consumption and disproves the idea that drying clothes on a line in heated rooms is in fact 'free'. It is not – it can cost up to 60% more in energy use compared to a Bosch Heat Pump Dryers.

If how to dry clothes in limited space at home is an issue, a stacked dryer and washer would be the ideal space saving solution to carry out the necessary laundry task. Say goodbye to disturbing clothes lines at home, and simply install your washing machine and dryer in a column with the stacking kit, while providing optimum drying performance. In particular, the Cupboard Dry Programme found in Bosch dryers gives you the convenience of storing clothes in your cupboard immediately after your wash and dry routine.

Looking for a laundry shortcut? With a Bosch dryer, you don't need to rely on manual clothes hanging and can get your laundry dry quicker while being in control of the time. Especially when you have lots of big loads, as well as if you want to preserve colours from the sun, a dryer makes your additional laundry duties more manageable. It is the effortless solution that helps you save some quality time. For those moments when you wish you had done your laundry yesterday, the Cupboard Dry Programme can save your day. It will perfectly wash and dry a small load of clothes and have them ready to wear in just two hours.

Unlike conventional dryers, our Bosch Heat Pump with SelfCleaning Condenser™ Dryers don't use energy-intensive heating rods to heat the air. Instead, we use a heat pump with low-temperature drying technology. This innovative feature reduces energy consumption significantly, and thanks to its patented SelfCleaning Condenser™, it runs constantly at a very low energy consumption.

Additionally, with these dryers, holes in the wall are a thing of the past. Simply plug into a socket for quickly dried laundry.

With Bosch dryers, clothes come out free of lint, allergens, and germs. The Sensitive Drying System uses warm, mild air to gently dry even your most delicate garments. And don’t worry, our dryers reduce wrinkling even without fabric softener.

Our Bosch dryers offer the right programme for every fabric, from wool, to down wear with natural feathers, or easy care to sportswear, to ensure the most gentle drying performance for every single laundry load you can have.

To store your clothes in the cupboard immediately after drying, simply choose the Cupboard Dry washing programme to extract the most amount of moisture possible from laundry. There is also a Crease Guard or Easy Iron Dry mode, which allows your clothes to retain a small amount of moisture for easy and perfect ironing.

The AntiVibration side panels reinforce the sidewall and increase the stability of the dryer. This structure, combined with enhanced insulation to reduce vibration ensures our Bosch dryers remain comfortably quiet.

All Bosch dryers come with a range of added accessories, from stacking kits that let you install a dryer on top of a front-loading washer in small spaces, to a wool basket accessory that lets you dry delicate items like wool sweaters and even sports shoes.
