Bosch WQG24509GB 9 Kg Heat Pump Condenser Tumble Dryer

[@spudbarry]

I bought a John Lewis branded 7Kg heat pump tumble dryer in 2015 and i have been very pleased with it, I don't know who actually made it. Over the last few weeks I haven't had to use it because of the nice weather but when it rains our clothes are washed, dried and back in the wardrobe in a few hours.

[@lords-electrical]

Over the years The majority of the John Lewis models have been made by the Zanussi / aeg group

[@spudbarry]

@@lords-electrical Thanks, I didn't know it was Zanussi/AEG, in fact i didn't know that Zanussi & AEG were now the same manufacturer !! but anyway, I also have a Zanussi ceramic hob electric oven & a Zanussi dishwasher, I've had the cooker for over 10 years and it is still working OK, I like Zanussi products.

Hell yes, brother. I use your channel to compare buying home appliances for maximum comfort. You always give that detailed user experience review. Very good shit

Great tutorial on the Bosch tumbler dryer. Thank you so much for this!

[@lords-electrical]

Glad it was useful thanks for the feedback 👍

[@uisblackcat]

Cheers from the States. I'm interested in the differences between our appliances and those in the UK, aside from sizing. Most Americans have vented dryers without heat pumps. I'm interested in a more efficient dryer because we are beginning to have electric price differentials here.

We've had one of these for about 12 months now. Generally very happy with it. We got it in the dark grey, along with a washing machine at the same time (and expensive day out !). I'd probably buy white next time - the paint is a bit thin on the plastic bits and already showing scratches through to the base plastic (white) even through We've been careful. I suspect the printed on writing for each button will wear off before top long - that's a bit naff really rather than properly embossed or etched in labels on such pricy machines (our 20+years old bosch dish washer labels are visible, no way on earth are these going to be present in just half the time). The instructions are appallingly badly written - tedious to the extreme to try to follow what's needed when 'CRE' comes up and jump around different sections. (I'm a chartered engineer and read technical stuff for a living - whomever wrote these must get paid by the cross-reference !)

Have you figured out how to display all the icons long enough to select them (eg the child lock,etc) or am I missing something obvious ? The fluff filter is in 2 parts. Thanks for the video. ggggwwww at 20.56 BST on Thursday the 22/2/24.

[@samsonitio]

Hi mate, if you remove the bottom panel to expose where the heat exchanger is, is there a removable filter in there too? I know on the old model it was completely sealed off with no filter, but believe this model has as extra filter type thing in front of the heat exchanger that’s removable and can also be cleaned. Appreciate the video and any feedback pal 👍

[@samsonitio]

Could be the serie 8 that I am thinking of. Not sure if this model has one too.

[@lords-electrical]

Just had a look and it is a sealed unit with no access available unfortunately. I normally prefer the models where you have access to the filters and heat exchange unit for cleaning purposes.

[@samsonitio]

Ah that’s a shame. How important would you say it is to have a self cleaning model? I’m looking to purchase a heat pump tumble dryer but am concerned about not being able to remove the heat exchanger for cleaning. I know on the models that have access to it (non self cleaning models) you can clean the very front of the heat exchanger but what about the rest of it getting clogged up with crap with no way of cleaning it other than taking the dryer to bits and washing it that way.

[@est9949]

I have the very same question. Have you figured it out?

[@samsonitio]

@@est9949 Bought an LG self cleaning model in the end. Don’t like not being able to clean the heat exchanger, will start clogging up and result in poor efficiency and premature death of the tumble dryer and therefore is false economy in my opinion. Good for manufacturers and retailers pockets as you’ll have to buy a new one more often. Have also heard Bosch self cleaning models are notorious for clogging up regardless, but LG ones seem to be good from what I’ve read. Mine’s great just don’t overfill it or your clothes won’t dry properly.

[@SiemensIQ700pro]

We have a Bosch exxel condenser dryer and it’s very old but still it runs as smooth as day 1. Surprisingly quiet as well for its age. Beko heat pump will be our next dryer.

[@MrPantss]

Great video, one small correction, I think the condenser wash happens about 4 times throughout the cycle, but I could be wrong

[@wizz17]

How do you go about solving the CRE message on the display for this model?

[@iwrotewords510]

excellent video, wish all reviews for things I want were like this. lol

[@lords-electrical]

Thank you for the kind feedback glad it was useful for you

[@paulj9022]

Hi. Does it leave water in the bottom filter after it has flushed the condenser. I had a very expensive Siemens Avantgarde, cost over £1000, it left water in the bottom filters, and I ended up buying a wet & dry vacuum cleaner to suck it out. The Senior engineer came out and said it was normal, but not ideal in my opinion. Siemens very kindly refunded my money for it, and I also bought the washer to match, and very pleased with it, although I was told it was actually made by Haier under license.I am thinking of buying an AEG heat pump tumble dryer, but can’t justify paying over £1200 for it, thanks, Paul

[@Iris-lk9ig]

Wouldn’t trust AEG, £1000 washing machine lasted 6 days, AO took it away and replaced with a Miele

[@trevorphillips5786]

Does the water cleaning of the machine only work when you use the water drain hose ?

[@christopherhutton9653]

Is there a way to connect the hose to kitchen sink drain?

[@MasihaR-n5h]

Hi. Just want to ask, can you change the door to open from right side on this model?

[@lords-electrical]

Unfortunately not, these are mainly designed to open one way

[@bilqeeshussain4067]

Hello i have one question cupboard and iron sign is not showed at display i have the dryer and struggling with this dryer

[@briant5378]

In North America, our clothes dryers seem to have to be vented to the outside. Do dryers in Europe just recycle the exhaust air back into tumbler? Or do you also have to exhaust the air to the outside of the residence?

[@terrysidhu1078]

You can buy both here depending on where you want to place it, I have a condenser type and just empty the water tank and clean the fluff as normal . I give it a deep clean once a year

[@briant5378]

@@terrysidhu1078 Thank you….I did a bit more research on “ventless” condenser dryers and indeed they are now available in North America. Makes a lot of sense for high rise condominium buildings here in our big cities. Also, they seem to be much more energy efficient.

[@bscott77]

I have a new Samsung heat pump dryer and the matching washer and one feature I did not realise they had was that they talk to each other. 😀 When you move the clothes from the washer to the dryer, the dryer suggests the best drying option based on all the settings and data from the washer. Crazy stuff 😄

[@cal87249]

Lg does to and bosch too since years welcome in 2020

[@mogi1163]

Che poi le lavatrici samsung sono pure pessime, io me ho una e non vedo l'ora di liberarmene.

[@vChilly]

Would you recommend this model for mainly bedding drying? I’ve been looking around for heat pump tumble dryers and people have recommended reverse action tumble dryers. I was just wondering if specifically I should be looking for that or if a tumble dryer like this would be perfect regardless.

[@lords-electrical]

This model would be ok for bedding, as it has specially designed paddles to help reduce the tangling in the clothes

[@stevereynolds2432]

Is there a video or explanation for clearing the annoying "Cre" code. It started showing up a week after we got it. Thanks!

[@christoffergort2446]

I love instructions. For household appliances that is. Not for live. 😉

[@ushma2002]

Hi I have bought this recently can you please let me know how does the care programme runs . I have been having sign on display for a while but manual book is little confusing. Kindly guide me on this

[@PeterTwo-qm3xk]

As per my comment a couple of minutes ago, the instructions are dreadfully badly written. It's definitely not you !

[@colleenmadsen5391]

Should these heat pump dryers make a low thud thud thud sound when running? I’ve just bought the series 8 and it is making that sound and I am concerned that it shouldn’t be.

[@lords-electrical]

Yes some of the heat pump dryers can make this sound, i would keep an eye on it to make sure it doesn't get louder over time. If it does then i would contact Bosch to see if they can help with the issue.

What's the difference from WTWH7660GB ? Is one model an older one?

The WTW model is an older version of this model.

I've just purchased this model. I'm confused with instructions re water container. Do you only take the little black stopper out from back of water tank if. You are using a drain kit with machiine

[@BAD_CONSUMER]

As an American, I don't understand this heat pump and condenser dryers. Are they strictly for energy efficiency? Typically we'd let a big pile of dirty linens accumulate before doing a large load, and 40 minutes for the whole lot is typical for a dryer (more than 2kg). 2 and a half hours would be absurd for drying only. Our dryers just heat the drum and vent the moisture to the outside.

[@ferdericchopin1723]

don't waste time trying to understand this "technology",its total junk,runs for hours and hours and never gets things properly dry, stick with the good old conventional machines that get a load dry in 30 minutes.

[@SirGregoryPageTurner]

Electricity is cheap in the States of America, so nobody seems to care about the efficiency of appliances. So, go for the typical huge top-load high-speed dryers.

[@carolinefoyle6129]

It says CrE

Explain the child lock
