Bosch vs Miele Tumble Dryers

Both are premium heat-pump-only brands. Bosch (Series 4 from £629, Series 6 at £849) uses AutoDry sensors and 3D AirSystem technology to circulate air evenly through the drum, stopping the cycle as soon as the target moisture level is reached. Their range tops out at 9 kg.

Miele heat-pump dryers (TWA520WP £899 8kg, TWH780WP £1,449 9kg) add EcoSpeed technology that shortens cotton cycles without increasing energy use, and continuous drum monitoring to protect delicates. The top T1 range includes FragranceDos for releasing a fresh scent during drying. Miele machines are designed for a 20-year lifespan.

Bottom line: choose Bosch for premium heat-pump drying at a more accessible price. Choose Miele if you want the fastest heat-pump cycles, superior fabric protection, and a machine engineered to last two decades.
