What a pity, dear Messrs. Bosch ....

We were looking for a new dryer because our old Bosch WTA 3500 (air) to 17 years (KP: 1000 DM) continuous use was unfortunately broken. So here diligently researched on Amazon and on the net. As it should be definitely be back a vented dryer, the choice was not very big. Of course we immediately interested us for a model of Bosch because we were super happy with our old dryer and the customer service (the first dryer went 4 weeks after the warranty broken and Bosch has free delivered us a new dryer - but seller was a dealer who has caused all this).

So now but at this dryer and why we have decided against it: With this collection of information, we have made their way to our electrical retailer (not a planet and Co.). Then we stood in front of our preferred model from Bosch, price in shops was 390 - so cheaper than in online trading - Delivery and installation including Absolut OK until here.! Now come the knock-out criteria, some of which are also read on the net that wanted but we see them live, especially as we indeed have a direct comparison with the Altmodell.
The round door now made of plastic - previously angular and made of metal, locking hooks plastic - metal previously, the plastic handle to open - the old model opened the door by push button, the plastic hinges !!! - Previously metal. The hinges, the lock jaw and the handle replacement is inevitable. The filling opening is very small, much smaller than before. The lint screen, was the old model in the door, now it's at the bottom of the opening round actually. 1. This is the hatch reduced (lower part of the circle is virtually cut off) and 2 easily accessible or visible to the complete cleaning when. The dryer, as we have available on the washing machine Interior lighting as the previous one seeks in vain unfortunately. Of the existing sensor keys, we are also not convinced that already annoyed at our washing machine. All mechanical buttons on the old dryer still function properly, at the age of 4 years still quite young Siemens (identical Bosch) washer are no longer to use already 2 sensor keys, including the corresponding functions are no longer. The programs and functions are otherwise almost exactly like the Altmodell. We were always very satisfied, just like with the drying results. Conclusion: The "hardware" has us totally disappointed - makes no siginificant as our old dryer. Lt. Sellers no longer produced in Germany. But that's now holding, it should be getting cheaper please all. Too bad love FA. Bosch, that you keep your good quality of housing's destroy (today's technology I can not judge for lack of use). We have almost all major equipment from you - so you lose loyal and satisfied customers. And for everyone who cares - we have 8703 bought the Miele T 599 including delivery and installation at the dealer.. Thus we move back in the price range of our old dryer. We'll see if the famous "Miele quality" holds.

Very strange I find the retail. (Again clicked 422.14, again 422.21) retail price EUR 719,00 .:, and sold by Wermuth VK 429.47 or now after 3 hours. VK 422 and sold by psi24 shop! On the Bosch homepage UPE is *: 509.00 !!! The price savings made here is therefore a complete figment and unfair! No store found for this dryer has received in the Shop reviews 100% at the customer reviews. I wonder why? Here Amazon should have times an eye on it.

General information on "original purchaser":
the power consumption (after 17 years of practice test): Yes, earlier, our "age" more power. But because the laundry was spun only with 1000 U / min. Since 4 years (new washing machine 1400 rev / min.) And no one else to call values ​​change in the white goods or their usage and use, we can reduce our electricity consumption by almost 200 kWh / J. Longer than approximately 1 hr., Even when fully loaded, hardly a drying process has subsequently required. The dryer from neighbors (Bosch condenser) always ran almost twice as long. Could possibly be helpful for those who are not sure which Trocknerart should choose.
