Features:

800 Series 24" Compact Heat Pump Dryer

The 800 Series dryer is a perfect companion to the 800 series washer, matching in quality, performance and design.

Fabric-friendly drying.

The Sensitive Drying System cares for your laundry perfectly by introducing mild, warm air from all sides. This is enhanced by the soft, curved paddles in the drum, which mean your laundry never lies flat, so it doesn’t crease. The result: gently dried laundry that’s perfectly soft and fluffy, and free of wrinkles.

24" compact size

The Bosch 24" compact dryer can be installed stacked, side-by-side, on pedestals, in a closet or under a counter.

Convenient Self-Cleaning Condenser™

The Self-cleaning Condenser simplifies dryer maintenance by using water from the laundry to flush and clean the condenser on its own, providing you with consistent dry times load after load.

No ducting required with Ventless Installation

Bosch condensation dryers have ventless installation, which eliminates the need for external ducting to exhaust hot air. With no ducting required, installation is made easier, faster and more cost-effective.

Change the opening direction of your drier door according to your needs.

With the flexibility of the reversible door hinge, you can easily change the opening direction of the door according to your needs.

Stainless Steel Drum

Stainless steel structured drum creates air cushions to protect clothes.

Specially quiet and durable.

The innovative Anti Vibration side walls are specially designed to provide more stability and optimally reduce vibration. The enhanced insulation also regulates noise levels, making Bosch dryers specially quiet even for an undisturbed night’s sleep.

Let the dryer decide.

Selecting the right drying program for your laundry can be complicated. Smart Dry does the work for you. Thanks to the Wi-Fi connection between your washer and dryer, the two can connect and select the right drying program based on the last washing cycle, without using an external device or app. It’s the smartest way to perfect drying results.

Home Connect®

With the Home Connect® app, control and monitor your appliance remotely and receive helpful notifications on your smart device, including when a cycle is complete.
