Default Bosch Condenser Tumble Dryers

Has anyone any experience, good or bad, to report about
Bosch condenser tumble dryers, particularly the WTL6003?


Have had a WTL5100 for 4 years now.
Yes it was expensive - but - I couldn't be arsed with digging holes in
1920 brickwork for the vent for a vented one - plus - this seems to be
a category C/D (istr?) whereas all the vented ones were G or
something.

Keep the condenser clean - every could of weeks take it out and wash
it through and clean the airways clear. Regularly (read religiously)
clean the filter. Buy the drain hose kit and if it's near the washer
it can empty itself (not having this would be foolish IMHO as you have
to empty the condensed water every wash - aka sod that )

Other than that - bloody marvellous. Gives heat to the kitchen when
in use - does not put any water vapour into the air (unless you
haven't cleaned the consenser) and dries very quickly - 70 mins for a
full 5-6kg of sodden cottens from machine wet (1200 spin Bosch washer)
to bone dry.

Very very pleased - would buy another one tomorrow - and ours is the
one without all the sensor gubbins to do CUpboard Dry and Ironing dry
etc as they do now...

Cheers
