Presumably the new models (8 series) work similarly, as can be seen by the use of a filter in the condensate tank. The care programme in principle also works in the same way. However, it appears that for the user to clean there is only a small classic filter under the door, which basically forces emptying after each drying. For more access is not visible, unless access is from the back.
In my opinion, the biggest advantage of this type of system is that the circulation of lint is through a layer of water and generally there is no contact between the dry lint and the exchanger so no cobweb forms. Also in the new models I don't expect a regression.
I was referring to a system where there was no filter under the door, but it was in front of the exchanger. It was flushed with water and the lint went into a drawer under the exchanger. For some reason, this system was abandoned and we returned to the infamous previous solution, where the exchanger is flushed and not the filter in front of it. There is also a filter under the door.
Listen, what dryer would you recommend today where the exchanger
doesn't rust and
doesn't get clogged with dust? I've seen videos on YouTube where dryers have been taken apart for cleaning and in the Samsung for example, the exchanger was rusty after a few years. I have a LG slim washer dryer for 6 years and it's lame because the heater system is useless. It shrinks and destroys clothes. LG dryers, on the other hand, are one of the more expensive ones as far as I can see and there is no access to the exchanger at all, not even through the flap. The whole front is built in, no door. There is only a self-cleaning system, questionable as in all such systems anyway.

So show the differences in the construction and principle of self and auto.
You have shown a dryer with SelfClean, this is an older system, in fact Bosch still uses it.
I think the AutoClean system was in one generation, which they quickly phased out. Supposedly due to a change in EU requirements for energy labels (although I don't know what the fart has to do with the windmill). Below is a photo.
