    Thinking of buying this Bosch condensor dryer but just wondering if this is one of the recommended German made Bosch machines?
    Am I right in thinking there is a difference in quality/build?

    Thanks,
    Sharon.

    Indeed 😕

    If you want a German ‘Bosch’ condensor dryer, then I would recommend the Siemens WT46E387GB.

    It’s expensive, but it comes with a full 5 year guarantee, which is invalueable for a condensor dryer 😉

    Thanks Goatman but I’m afraid this Bosch dryer is the very top of my budget. I was thinking of Zanussi models as I’ve had good experience with them but was recommended this one in my previous post as better than the zanussi. I then remembered reading something here about German v other Bosch.
    would you still recommend this Bosch over zanussi?

    Thank you, but I am a boy!

    I haven’t seen the Bosch ‘in the flesh’. It looks very similar to the Siemens, but it probably be made outside of Germany, and have cheaper parts (all the metal components replaced with plastic).

    If the Bosch has a 2 year guarantee, compared to the Zanussi 1 year, then I’d do the Bosch. But £100 extra for the Siemens is far worth it, especially for the extra 3 years cover, as reliability is usally an issue for condensor dryers 😕

    Opps sorry Goatboy!
    I’m in Ireland & unfortunately the difference in price between the Bosch & Siemens is 230euro so it’s really £150!! too far out of my budget for a dryer that won’t get too much use or abuse!
    I’m basing the zanussi leanings on my previous experience of their washing machines & washer/dryer. washing maching running 4+yrs now & never a problem & washer dryer was running 2yrs when I moved… again no problems. 2 friends have the zanussi TC7103 3-4yrs & no problems… & there’s a diff of 160euro (£107) between it & the Bosch!
    ah decisions decisions!

    thanks again,
    Sharon.

    I’ll leave it to you 😛

    The Zanussi and the Bosch are both pretty good. Pret-tay, pret-tay, pret-tay, pretty good 🙂

    I supose you just need to decide if the Bosch is worth £100 more for a slightly better build quality and a extra year guarantee.
