NEW Bosch WTW87564AU 9kg Serie 8 Heat Pump Dryer
Been looking to get this for weeks, by far the cheapest you can get it.
480 reviews on google 4.7 star /5 rating.
When i was in store, item said made in Poland.
$30 off $300+ spend for You and Your Friend.
Is it better though?
warranty is the same.
i.got a haier one last time..cheaper to run, same warranty, cheaper to buy (~$900),
I think the It's a <imsert brand> therefore it's better isn't a valid argument any more.
Given the number of Samsung products that have broken down on me, I'll take the Bosch thanks.
I just think that Bosch series 6 & 8 are better built with more engineering/attention to detail.
Bosch series 4 is their budget line, I suppose that is comparable to Samsung etc.
@JimB: I would add look for the ones made in Germany, had the cheaper made in where ever and it broke within 12 month and washing results were terrible.
@Olli: Good point Olli, most of the Series 6 & 8 products are made in Germany. Series 4 is usually made in Asia and other cheaper European countries.
Having said that my top of the line Series 8 cooktop was made in Spain.
@JimB: Spain is where the Germans go to party. Someone probably stuck up a manufacturing deal while on vacation.
@Olli: In Europe appliances made in Poland is almost as good as Germany (they are neighbours) and the Poles have good worth ethic.
The ones you really don't want are made in Turkey, Romania, Bulgaria, Greece or even Italy (unless it is really expensive and they had all the time in the world to work on it).
@netjock: Best oven we ever had was an Italian made Zanussi oven. Brilliant, professional quality oven. Hideously expensive.
Hideously expensive.
That is because they spent so much time working on it. It is like buying a Ferrari. You buy a cheap Fiat (even Alfa Romeo) expect problems.
@JimB: well I've got/had AEG (German made) appliances. The dishwasher doesn't even clean properly unless the dishes are scrubbed before hand and it's broken down a few times, fatality jist recently outside warranty. Oven has had several issues. both German made, both crap quality.
I had a 20+yo mielle dryer until recently, until the main PCB died (now I have a LG). A mate put in mielle kitchen 2yrs ago, the oven went cactus twice, hotplates & microwave once…all within 6.mths of installation.
Again, these days name doesn't equal quality. even if you do spend a fortune.
both German made, both crap quality.
The joke is you tell Germans you have a problem, they will plug it in and the computer will say it is performing to specifications. Obviously user error. In which case the specification is for you to get the plates clean according to spec before the dishwasher cleans it according to spec.
@netjock: very good! funny the first time we had the dishwasher tech come (who turned out to be a friend of a friend), told me part of the problem is that the washing arms had rice & sprouts in the.. Apparently they're not designed to clean them off, I must wash them beforehand. But on the other hand he said, don't wash wet sauce, etc off as the initial rinse looks at how dirty the water is, then decides on how long the cycle should be in order to save water,.but that won't clean dried paata sauce & cheese off easily, so wet it a bit before you put it on.
Bloody Germans are just too clever….and In suspect they're a bit Audi when it comes to getting better water ratings.
Well it's 8kg vs 9kg. But also it's about the discount on any given product. Not find a cheaper alternative. I can probably find one cheaper than that Samsung.
any comparisons between bosch vs samsung for these particular models?
not looking for a generic this brand is better than the other - samsung and bosch are both reputable.
I read some whinges/reviews and it seems the Bosch don't go in reverse. So when your doing large things like sheets etc it gets tangled.
Also being 9kg most of the loads require you to only use 1/2 that amount of clothes so your really only doing 3-4kg of clothes.
Apparently the Electrolux EDH903BEWA can go in reverse and has good reviews.
We have a Bosch washing machine and its been perfect for past 2.5 years..Its so hard to choose.
I'm also looking to buy a washing and drying combo. Which washing machine do you have? Did you end up deciding on which dryer you're going to get?
We got a Bosch front loader 28460AU.
Its been really good so far. I think we are leaning towards the Electrolux dryer..
If you do everything in the dryer, like sheets/doona covers, 100% go the Electrolux. I emailed Bosch the last time I needed a new dryer asking about one with a reverse tumble action - which my cheap vented dryer had in a rental- and they said they don't have it on any of their models because it affects energy efficiency. They must figure it's more energy efficient to ball up your sheets and not dry them! So I've used a couple of Bosch heatpump dryers, and the build quality is excellent, but I wouldn't buy another dryer that didn't have a proper reverse tumble action, and there's not many to choose from.
I've had the Bosch for over a year. Love it. I suspect it's not this precise model, I'll have to take a look.
What you say is true but feel like it's still worth it, I simply pump it up one setting more than I'd otherwise expect. Dry as. Mine is freakin 9 star energy rating. Watching it via an energy saving app feels like I'm watching an LED globe on. Love the fact I keep external door open and zero condensation - zero heat in room, no exhaust piping to think about. That's not speaking to the Bosch, just this dryer tech in general
Edit: mine is the WTW87566AU
Does reversing use more power?
no it doesn't.
from Google
Heat pump dryers typically use the same motor to drive the drum and fan, which makes it difficult to allow for reverse tumbling, as reversing the rotation of the drum would also reverse the fan, pushing hot air backwards through the dryer, potentially damaging it, and blowing cold air onto your clothes.
Washing machines run off dry clothes weight, while dryers are based off wet clothes weight, hence why there's always that big disparity.
You deserve +100 up votes for this.
Makes perfect sense
From page 22 of the instruction manual.
“Maximum load based on the dry weight of the items”
https://www.winningappliances.com.au/public/manuals/WTW87564…
What a great price!
Definitely consider how long it will last, as they are complex machines are expensive to repair.
Doesn't post to Perth Metro :(
I just bought it. Only time will tell if it's worth it. I'll only use it sparingly but the efficiency is what sold me because I'd only use it on cold cloudy days so no solar. I have an LG washer that has been solid for 12 years but is finally dying. I would've got LG if it was cheaper.
if you only using it sparingly its not really efficent cost wise, would only buy it if using it a ton,
u save 70 a year if you use it 4 times a week compared to a normal dryer,
edit: prob closer to $150-200
Heat pump dryers have other benefits over regular. As they tend not to completely over dry cloths, usually leaving them with less wrinkles. They also don't increase the humidity of the room/space meaning they can be used in cupboards without the need for ventilation.
still need to vent them, laws of physics, but yeah negatives are they are slower than dryers, heavier, etx
All in one washer/dryer with heat pump is the ultimate!!
EDIT: somebody jelly!
Great, if you run it overnight, but if you are doing a lot of loads back to back you cannot start the next washing load until the dryer run is finished. That is the down side.
Aren't we all running it overnight to make use of "off peak" tariffs. Only exception when you have a big solar system and no good feed in tariff.
7.2kw PV system (and Tesla PW2) so I try to run mine during the day. "off peak" tariffs are great for $$$ but not for reducing carbon emissions.
Do you need to use after pay to pay or can you just use the code?
you need to use afterpay
How does this compare with the Kogan Heat Pump dryer which is just 599 dollars and has a big capacity of 8kg.
https://www.kogan.com/au/buy/kogan-8kg-series-8-heat-pump-dr…
Kogan and Bosch not really in the same league.
One is Bosch, the other is Kogan. That's about all the comparison you really need.
Is this washer and dryer combo?
No, only a dryer
Been using this dryer for almost 3 years now, bought it on a ebay sale for $1500 at that time.
Quiet no humidity and intelligent sensor do dries the cloth perfectly every time till now.
Edit:
I have been using WTW87565AU
https://www.bosch-home.com.au/productlist/WTW87565AU
The model listed over here is 8 Star energy rated, so it will be a tad better than mine
What wrong with it now?
Fantastic price and fantastic dryer. I bought one last year and it gets used a lot. No issues so far
I got a couple of models up from this one, slightly better efficiency but very similar overall on this deal: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/606771
Few thoughts from my research pre buying
- combined washer/dryer units are almost universally panned. Whether it be for the massive time per load, or the mismatched capacity, or poor overall results no one seems to like them. Therefore safer option is to buy washer/dryer separately
- Dryers in general have patchy reviews at best, Bosch seems to be generally positive, whereas many other brands (including Samsung) seem to be generally negative
- bigger capacity dryer is generally better, as it will allow more space and therefore more efficient drying even if you dont jam it in.
Few thoughts since my purchase
- probably worthwhile matching the dryer to your washer and getting mount installed from the get go.
- The instructions essentially recommend 9kg for cotton only (from memory), and most cycles including mix recommend 2-4kg of washing even in a 9kg dryer
- I have been putting my full loads from my 7.5kg washer into the dyer and getting very good results (guidelines be damned!)
- I have not had any luck with woolen nor delicate cycle. I have reverted to woolens being hung instead of dried.
- The lint filter should (needs to be) cleared out every wash
- I dont currently have the water connected to my drain, but each load it fills up pretty much to the brim (no issues, just saying)
Let me know if you have any other queries.
I currently have a 12 year old dryer that I want to replace, but I only use it to get rid of dust after dry it outdoors. Probably do it 15 minutes tops if it’s a sunny day but 30 minutes if it’s a bit humid during winter.
Would you recommend spending 1k+ on a heat pump dryer? Prolonging the life of my garments is important too
I'm by no means an expert, but my experience.
So from my experience I treat my clothes better having a heat pump dryer, and that is a benefit to me. I guess as part of that you would need to ask yourself how much well you treat your clothes currently, and how much your clothes are worth.
I have no regrets with my purchase :)
Thanks! Hopefully another deal pop ups if not looking like a Black Friday purchase
Purchased this a few months ago for a similar price. Absolutely love it. Highly recommend.
I also purchased the stacking kit so it can sit safely on top of our Bosch washing machine. As our machines sit in a cupboard I wish I bought the kit with the pull out draw, but definitely recommend them as well.
I've been looking for a decent pump dryer for days, but I find it difficult to choose from the big brands as they all look identically featured. Bosch? Samsung? or ASKO which is also my washing machine?
I love Samsung electronics. Read bad things about their appliances. Went with Bosch. Also like LG. YMMV.
OOS.
Think I just bought the last one.
Thanks OP
Think below might help those who was curious whether they can use split payments:
I bought two ebay $500 Gift Voucher (5% off) and loaded it at the checkout page.
Then charged the rest on Afterpay option with the PAYAFT15 code added as well.
This heat pump dryer only costed me $1095.
Can I please ask where do you get 5% off eBay gift card?
Work perks ;)
But hope this answered the question you had here
https://www.ozbargain.com.au/comment/10663393/redir
god dammit. Afterpay didnt verify me for AAAGES and its missed.
Just one thing to consider for those buyers…. My wife hates it, does not have Reverse tumble action. So blankets etc stay damp in the middle.
Lucky for us we have a normal conventional dryer that does reverse tumble.
weird way of getting around that but I have had luck throwing a dry towel in with my wet sheets, put the dry towel in the middle and wrap the wet sheets etc loosely around it then toss it in the dryer - comes out pretty much perfect every time.
I've had driers that spin both ways. Sheets, blankets etc still were damp and tangled often. No method is perfect.
side FYI:
I have the washer/drier combo.
It works perfectly for single or couple (no kids), or small apartments.
It's a 7/4 Kg, that is, washes 7kg but only dries up to 4kg.
The biggest mistake with washer/drier combo is that people load it and expect it to dry the whole 7kg. No.
So either wash, the 7kg, remove 3Kg and dry…. or wash/dry up to 4kg automatically.
No drier? no problem, these machines spin to 1400RPM's, barely any water left in the garments for drying outside.
7kg dry might be 4kg wet.
FYI: washer capacity is measured with dry garment and dryer capacity is in wet.
Did Appliances Online pull all their listing? Nothing is showing up…
https://www.ebay.com.au/sch/appliancesonline/m.html?_nkw=&_a…
seems they marked everything as out of stock
they didn't realise this was on so they didn't jack the price on time..
dont worry, they will come back tomorrow with "new" price..
How do I combine the drainage with the washer?
something like this
https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/380970322183
just a Y adapter
go to Bunnings or reece and ask for a Y Adapter that you can join the washing machine and dryer drainage to
Thank you
Hi Op, can you please post more washing machine deals when you see it, Cheers, Richard
Be careful with this dryer.
I bought this model from Bing Lee a month ago and it's been absolute dog shit. 14 of the modes don't actually work and stop after a short while with error code -0-. The only modes that run are the two 'timed' modes but after 3+ hours, the small load of clothes are still damp.
The machine will often go idle for several minutes at a time, turn on for 10 seconds and then go idle for minutes again.
When Bosch service technicians came onsite, they mentioned that they've seen this problem a few times lately with new devices and it's most likely the sensor. They suggested testing a few things and left without replacing/repairing anything.
When we called back with the test results, they already closed the ticket and insisted we create a brand new one. We were put through to the tech who said just use the two timed modes from now on….
Additionally the device also arrived with water dripping down the side. Not sure if this is related to the issue but worth mentioning.
Bing Lee and Bosch have been terrible are resolving this issue to the point where I need to start engaging the ACCC for a refund :(
Never buying from either of these companies again.
You had a bad experience, sure. I'm not sure it's worth assuming every other machine is a dud also.
Um he's not assuming.
Upon re-read, sure. To me, saying “be careful with this model” is assuming it’s somehow a poor product for everyone because of n=1 experience.
Sounds ridiculous from Bosch technician perspective. I'm surprised Bing Lee didn't do more to support.
Those experiences definitely aren't functioning as intended. Hope you get it fixed/refunded/replaced.
We got this last time, bit different than the traditional but works great.
Does it make any sound when drum spins?
I got one today and it makes a sound on spin like it's hitting something. It seems to come from the top left of machine
My old bosch didn't make any sound like it
Samsung one is around $120 cheaper
