AEG vs Bosch Tumble Dryers

AEG and Bosch are the two most compelling premium heat-pump dryer brands in the UK. AEG's AbsoluteCare system (TR849P4B, £1,049) monitors fabric moisture continuously and adjusts heat to protect delicate items — it also includes a steam-refresh cycle that freshens clothes without a full wash. Their entry heat-pump model (TR818P4B, £499) is 8 kg and A-rated, one of the better-value heat-pump options at this tier.

Bosch heat-pump dryers (Series 4 from £629, Series 6 at £849) use 3D AirSystem technology to circulate air more evenly through the drum, and AutoDry sensors stop the cycle as soon as the target moisture level is reached — saving energy without over-drying.

Bottom line: choose AEG for the best fabric protection and a steam-fresh function on the top model. Choose Bosch for consistent, efficient heat-pump drying at a slightly lower entry price.
