Product review (1 stars): Looks good, performs badly
Like its matching washer, we purchased this stackable dryer to fit a small laundry closet in our 1BR vacation condo.

Pro: It is attractive, vents out back or side, and install was easy. The stainless drum is nice and the lint filter is easy to clean out.

Cons: It does NOT dry the clothes quickly. It gets warm, occassionally moderately warm (never hot), but then it does not stay warm for long. So a small load of towels takes a couple hours and still come out damp dry. Just not enough energy going in to remove the latent heat (i.e., not hot enough to dry the clothes in a reasonable time). Bosch says this unit uses "higher flow rate at a lower temperature," and I completely understand their intent, but it just doesn't seem to move enough moisture regardless of their claim.

Well, we have only had the unit a couple months and have yet to get a dry load.

Machine uses moisture sensors (near the lint filter). Repairman could not tell me if these have any control over heat level or just used to indicate level of dryness to turn machine off. There is good flow out the vent, so if it isn't the flow rate then it must be energy level. Repairman says - "normal" , but it was close to lunchtime. Or maybe it really is just a poor Bosch design.

This machine is a disappointment. Stay away from Bosch.

One year later. Still dries very slowly. But we have learned to keep the loads small (two bath towels, one hand towel, a couple wash cloths and bath mat take about 1.5 hours to dry). We also learned that the cotton, very dry setting is the only setting that works well. Lint filter fills up fast, so empty after each load.
