Bosch Condenser Tumble Dryer: Comparing WTW85460PL Heat Pump Model and Conventional Options

If this is the case, the pump beats the head and sews the dryer without a pump. Even if it breaks down, this value will pay off over the course of use. I am talking about a dryer for these 2,000, not 3

Someone once wrote in the topic that in a dryer with a pump the exchanger was often clogged, so the electricity consumption increased compared to that without a pump.

So he wrote, he wrote. Most often it applied to Bosch units with a self-cleaning capacitor. My Electrolux, after less than 2 years of use, has a clean condenser, I vacuum it every 2 weeks. The drying time was by no means extended.

I have an ordinary exhaust dryer, I think it's 4 months old, my wife is happy, nothing shrinks, there is one disadvantage to drying, and these are not high bills, but the washing from it smells less, besides ok, nothing wrinkles compared to the string. much better, service none drying for about 60 minutes, it's good but I think that now I would choose a condenser dryer because the cost of installation would fall off and it would heat the room for free, in the summer there will be a string anyway, because I have the conditions. But it's ok, I don't know where the opinions about shrinking clothes come from, and there was such a case, but the garment was really bad quality.
As for the heat pump, I did not even consider such an option because it is not worth the money for me, if it cost up to PLN 1,500, I might be tempted, but not for 2.5 or 3.5 thousand, we generally did not like rolling clothes for 120 minutes.

I assumed that too, but the dryer is so comfortable to use and the things so soft after drying that I dismantled the external dryer

It's an amazing convenience. I can no longer imagine hanging laundry, there is no greater convenience than shifting everything from one drum to another. I don't even ruffle the laundry when I take it out of the washing machine and most of it comes out almost straight

I wonder why I didn't buy it 5 years ago, half a year ago I laughed at my brother and said that it is not worth it because it is the way that electricity destroys clothes, and now I would have quiet days when I would take my wife's dryer.
With the lack of the smell of washing, I mentioned it half a joke, but the advantage is that I am not worried about any exchangers and I do not pour out the water, if I had to wait 120 minutes, it would irritate me a bit, but I would probably get used to it.
As for the energy cost, it is probably about 1.5kWh on average, because now it pulls 1.8kW, but at the end of about 8 minutes the fan works, washing an average of 7 kg, sometimes my wife puts some thick cotton pants (slightly damp) on the dryer because there is no point in knocking on everything, such a nuance of quick cotton drying (it is a waste of other clothes and electricity), we are more sorry for our clothes, you know what is left on the filter.

Added after 9 [hours] 38 [minutes]:

I will correct it, the consumption is about 2kWh because I'm going on the cotton program, 2kw heater plus 300w motor.

Once again, as for these fluff, I still have things that I used to dry in the old dryer, and for 2 years they have been going through a full drying cycle in the new one and I have never noticed that any thing got thinner or broke. I used to read that pilling always arises, when washing or even drying outside, we just don't see it that way. In addition, there is less of these lint with time, as someone has never had a dryer and will buy more at the beginning. Yesterday I had a washing machine full of colors, including a lot of socks (and they have the most lint), when I cleaned the filter, there were less of them than a ping-pong ball. So sooner a thing will break up, or we will get bored, rather than suffer as a result of dust being picked up by the dryer.

Added after 5 [minutes]:

I always have a full filter after bed linen and towels, and I have practically the same for years. Hundreds of washes and driedes have already passed, and if the swabs were actually so slimmer, I should have practically the curtains, and they are still in perfect shape.

Hello,
I'm going to buy a dryer soon. After studying the topic, I bet on those with a heat pump and pre-select electrolux products.
In this manufacturer, the 2 highest series of 800 and 900 differ essentially in that the 900 has the Cyclon Care system (uniform drying with warm air on all sides) and has the A +++ class.
Is it worth paying extra PLN 300-400 to the 900 series for this system and a higher energy class?

I have 800, it is always dry, so it dries the same, but they called it nicer, as for electricity, this one plus will never pay back, and besides, 800 is recently at good prices, for 2100-2200 you can get it.

And if any of your esteemed colleagues uses the Samsung DV90N62632W and could say something about it? Does Samsung drum spin in both directions? Why there are no programs in Samsung: wardrobe, ironing?

[edit]
@Dorilll
You have electrolux EW8H458BP right? Tell me .. the drain hose can be connected? And whether it is possible to install a drying shelf.

Yes, I have this model and 5 people around me too, it is sensational and I think it is at a good price. I paid 2400 two years ago and now you can get it for 2200. As for the drain, I think it is possible, but I'm not sure. I do not feel such a necessity and I empty it every 3-4 dryings. On you tube, this model is evaluated during the purchase and two years after its use, and this is where the guy is talking about it. The amateur foreman is called

https://youtu.be/KZnq-LEvyDk sensational video. Anyone who stands before buying a dryer should watch it. I have practically the same insights as this gentleman.
best regards

Well, I also finally made up my mind ... I chose Electrolux EW8H359SP ... I hope I won't regret it ...

Ooo it's a tall model. You will not regret it, for sure. You just need to learn this device and use appropriate programs ;)

Added after 40 [minutes]:

And as you say in the video, probably no brand (even grinds!). There is no program for drying wool. I mean they have a wool program, but it takes a few minutes just to loosen up.

For PLN 2400 it can be bought on the promo, so I think it's worth it. We'll see how it works. For posterity: I wrote to Electrolux about shoe drying baskets. Well, for all models of dryers [800/900 series] a basket fits: https://shop.electrolux.pl/c/kosz-do-soszenia-obuwia-w-suszarce/p/140049509023

Sure it's worth it, I also gave so much for mine, but I have a lower model. As for shoes, I think I don't need a basket because I don't feather them. And I think that the shoes spin very poorly in the washing machine, practically so that they sometimes drip. The same drying would have to take 5 hours ... But I haven't had any contact with it, so I don't know.

Added after 2 [minutes]:

So I think I'd rather save the dryer because she's got fucked up with me anyway?

Can you help with the topic below? Mine without a heat pump does not destroy or shrink clothes, but you have heat pump dryers,

Maybe this is how Bosch or Siemens devices destroy things?

It is as if a colleague wrote that soup cooked with natural gas burns, and does not burn with gas from the bottle. It is best to consider simple physical phenomena occurring during washing and drying. Then we will avoid such infantile questions.

PS. If a colleague does not shrink any clothes on the basic programs, then either the clothes are made of plastic or the heater is overgrown with moss.

We were already doing this back then, a few pages before. Washing and drying temperatures - as can be seen from the above-mentioned, devoid of any meaningful answer, it was not enough.

So Bortuka, why don't you help with that thread, just wasting your time trying to ridicule? What does your post bring?

In that thread, the correct answers were immediately. Post # 2 and # 4 in my rating explained everything.

So using a heat pump dryer will damage your clothes.

I have said many times here that my dryer (electrolux) dries at such a low temperature that the laundry is slightly warm, when I measured the temperature while working, but with such a room thermometer and it showed 27 degrees. I do not know about other dryers, I would like to know it before it breaks down and I buy a new one. I put everything in the dryer as it flies and I have no losses, things are in perfect condition. As for shrinkage, they very often shrink in the wash, and after drying, we will notice it and blame the dryer.

Added after 3 [minutes]:

To reduce the risk of clogging the pumps, I once searched the net for a foam filter for the condenser, although it does not fit perfectly with this model, so I taped it slightly. The dryer works perfectly well with it, and it does not extend the drying time, which I was afraid of. I think that now it is impossible to get clogged because it has a double filter in the door and now the foam one. I recommend it to everyone, the more that it cost PLN 30 ...

Hello,

If someone is looking for a slim heat pump dryer:

BEKO MDF7434RXC [7 kg A ++]
Height [cm] 85
Depth [cm] 46
Width [cm] 60

The dryer is equipped with a Flexysense sensor which is responsible for ensuring that the laundry dries evenly.
A model worthy of attention when it comes to smaller bathrooms - it can also be "stacked" using a special connector.
The diameter of the door is 38 cm, which allows for easy insertion / removal of large items.
A heat pump dryer is gentler on clothes, but everything has already been written in the posts above.

In case you had any questions, I'll be glad to help.
Best regards,
Grzesiek

I have a question for Electrolux PerfectCare 800 users.
Is the drum casing at the back of the dryer soldered with the top top, or is it set back in relation to it, which makes the top itself the most protruding element of the dryer?
There is only a sketch on the electrolux website which would suggest that these elements stick out equally.

It is even, but the dryer itself at the back must have 2 cm of play because warm and humid air flows out of there.

You do not need anything because the holes are in the recesses and there is a mute on the back panel so that the dryer does not scratch on the wall, ask the seller in the supermarket for mercy.

The stream wrote well, I thought so from the beginning because even Siemens has felt on this tunnel. At Miele, it does not exist, but you do not need any two-centimeter gaps.

The break should be If not from above, but from the side. Air is blowing out from the back, so you can feel. Once I put a large powder in a cardboard box on the dryer, which stuck to the wall, which caused the water to condense at this point.
