Bosch WQH246DCFG SelfCleaning Condenser

With this Bosch dryer, I have plenty of room for large loads of bedding. Thanks to its B energy rating, I dry it very energy-efficiently. With HygienePlus, I dry everything extra hygienically, and I shorten long cycles with SpeedPerfect. Thanks to SmartDry, the dryer automatically selects the best program.

First Impression The Bosch dryer looks modern and has a spacious drum. I have plenty of room for a large load of bedding. I like the flat display, but it does show fingerprints easily. I wipe them off with a cloth. The drum light is handy, since the dryer is in my garage, which has low light. There are enough programs to dry all my clothes.

Hygiene Plus One of the programs on this dryer that I like is Hygiene Plus. I'm sensitive to hay fever and other allergens. This program dries at a higher temperature, which helps remove bacteria and allergens. I mainly use it to dry my bed sheets. This way, I sleep better, especially in the summer, because my allergies are less bothersome.

SpeedPerfect The dryer has a handy shortening function that I don't often see. I see SpeedPerfect on the display. This shortens the drying time of the long drying programs. For the cotton program, the time goes from 4 hours and 33 minutes to 2 hours and 50 minutes. That's quite a difference. This function works with four programs, including the cotton program. I use this one the most.

SmartDry I don't always know which program is best. That's why I find SmartDry very useful. I also have a Bosch washing machine at home, and I can connect the dryer to it via the HomeConnect app. The connection didn't work the first time, but it worked the second time. When I use SmartDry, the dryer automatically selects the right program based on the last wash cycle of my washing machine. That way, I don't have to think about it myself.

Self-Cleaning Condenser The dryer has a self-cleaning condenser. While drying, I hear the machine rinsing itself. This reduces maintenance and keeps the dryer running smoothly. With its energy rating of B, the dryer dries my clothes very energy-efficiently. That saves me energy costs.
