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

This is the one I have, lightly attached with electrical tape in the corners. I have the same one since April and it looks like new. After 20-30 dryings, rinse it with plenty of water and shake it against the bathtub. For me, it passes this exam, the exchanger is much less dirty, I have a dog and a lot of lint is left on this black filter ?

Thanks a lot for your help. We also have a doggie and a Beagle where his hard hair sticks everywhere. I am already making an order because we have a dryer from Friday and it would be a pity to neglect it from the beginning.
Best regards.

Also electrolux?

It was supposed to be Siemens, but after all the comments here, we opted for the Electrolux EW9H378SP. Now there was a mega promotion in one of the household appliances chains for 2600. We already have the second drying behind us, including the linen and it dried elegantly. Maybe one corner was slightly damp, but it also twisted, and maybe that's why. The drying time was 20 min longer than the time shown when drying started. We'll see how it works in the long run. Only downside is it is much noisy compared to the washing machine we have. But, I don't compare to other dryers either. And this strange work of the aggregate or pump ... sound like a big hit.
The question about this filter, does it somehow negatively affect the operation of the dryer itself and the drying times? Doesn't it choke the exchanger a bit?
do you have this filter exactly? Link

A good choice, a little unnecessarily high model because the cheaper ones have practically the same parameters. No, nothing happens, I am almost 3 years of electrolux and since installing the filter I have not noticed that the drying was disturbed in any way, the working time has not increased at all. It always started about 2 hours and is like that all the time

Added after 2 [minutes]:

On the bed linen program, I take out the laundry 20 minutes faster, because the cooling time lasts up to 35 minutes, which means that the bedding is unnecessarily wrinkled. And you also have to remember that the laundry should be well spun

How about before the end of drying? Is it signaled by any controls?

There is no problem with this, because our washing machine has 1600 rpm.

I press the stop and pull out ?

The foam filter is already installed on the exchanger and the first drying with it is behind us. After opening the door to the exchanger, I noticed a slight sweat on the filter side as well as the slightly moist filter itself. Should it be like that? However, is this filter blocking proper air circulation?

Sometimes it is like that, it happened to me even when I didn't have a filter. It depends on the program and what we are drying at the moment

But the filter does the job nonetheless. Because despite the fluff filter on this filter on the exchanger, a fairly large amount of dog hair already accumulates, which somehow penetrates from the upper part. If not for this filter, I do not know how deep these fluff would be on the exchanger. Thanks a lot for the advice.

That's it, I have the same

Today, during the routine cleaning of the filters, the exchanger in the Bosch WTR87TW0PL (semi-annual), I noticed such a disturbing thing. Under the exchanger, after removing such a plastic drawer (I do not know what it is professionally called, but it is attached), quite a lot of water has accumulated. Is it the result of warm air coming into contact with the cool-to-floor bottom of the dryer? Unfortunately, there is no underfloor heating in the bathroom. Will the solution be, for example, putting the dryer on a thick carpet? Is it completely different and need to be claimed under warranty?

So it has to be.

Hello,
question for @Dorilll .
Have you already somehow solved the mounting of this additional sponge filter in front of the exchanger in Elektrolux, or still temporarily on the tape?
I am currently using such a solution and I am wondering how to cleverly and tightly attach it, add something like this so that the flap presses the filter on the periphery after closing, and at the same time there is free flow from the drum side.

I didn't change anything, still on the patent ? I clean it somewhere a month and somehow it does not bother me

I found something like this on the electrolux website:

https://shop.electrolux.pl/pralnictwo/suszark...budowy/spodnia-szuflada-suszarki/p/1366343018

but it's hard to say if it would fold. These 3 holes in the center have the same shape as in the flap protecting the exchanger.

Currently, from the dryers with a pump, only the Bosch with self-cleaning filters right in front of the condenser and the lint drawer seems to make any sense. The rest is a one-time scrap that will break down after the warranty at the latest. I watched these wonders of technology when I was thinking 2 years ago about what to buy: a washer-dryer or a separate dryer. What even a two-stage filter under the door passes through them will go to the capacitor and clog it. Also, the old technologies of "self-cleaning" of the condenser with falling water did not help much, since Bosch / Siemens thought that in the end it would be possible to cut an inspection hole in them and buy a flap to clean the exchanger's ribs from fluff that did not flush "self-cleaning" as the warranty expires, or earlier.

What is the Bosch model?

go to the Bosch website and look, there are many models, the technology is called AutoClean, someone has already recorded a video comparing it on YouTube
the old models have a SelfCleaning Condenser, the one that is fallback and a lot of videos have been recorded on YouTube too, including different brands but especially Bosch / Siemens

Kamilo23, if you want to spend 4,000 on a dryer, grinds will be the best choice. It has a double filter under the door and an additional thick filter several centimeters in front of the exchanger.

but Miele is based on the old solution, even without this pseudo self-cleaning in the first BSH / Siemens release, so why pay for old technology when it is new and better?

Because the grinds are premium equipment and even though their quality has dropped a bit, I think that there is a greater chance that it will serve longer than competing brands. Besides, like I said, it has a thick filter at the bottom that other dryers don't have. I have a washing machine myself for 10 years and there is nothing to compare with other washing machines, a class in itself. As for Bosch, no reversal movements, total massacre. Before, I had my own Bosch dryer and when I was drying sheets, blankets or tablecloths it always ended with a big ball inside.

Which dryer do you recommend for models without a pump? I need to buy something and put it together for a friend who owns something like an animal beauty salon. They fall off with the exchanger because the amount of hair there counts in tons ?

I think I would aim at Bosch, there are 2 models for about PLN 1500

Any of you have the SHARP KD-HHH8S7GW2 model? I am looking for a proven dryer for PLN 2,000.

If you are looking for a proven dryer, then take a look at the Bosch WTN or WTG

The Elektrolux 600 series is left. Few are available models of dryers without a heat pump.

It's a bit of a lip, because the best design is actually rejected, I don't know why. I had a WTXL before (18), now I got a new WTG and I am very happy with them.
Generally, if it were not for BSH, I would probably take the Electrolux EW6C428WP from the heaters

It will. As for the "best design" - maybe, but the opinions on drying quality by BSH are very bad. The same as about Szajsungach.

As for Szajssung, I cannot say a bad word about BSH and the quality of drying. As I mentioned before, until recently I had an old BSH woman, now there is a new Bosch WTG, it dries elegantly, does not crease, does not shrink (although it is a heater). After drying, I take things out, hide them in the wardrobe and everything is about 100% of what the dryer should offer is fulfilled.
