This gentle drying process helps to care for fabrics while reducing energy consumption. With an excellent A++ energy rating, this dryer is designed to deliver efficient performance without compromising drying results.
Gentle Fabric Care with Sensitive Drying System
Bosch’s Sensitive Drying System works with a specially designed drum structure and carefully controlled airflow to dry garments evenly. This helps clothes come out soft and fluffy while reducing creasing.
The sensor-controlled drying system continuously monitors moisture levels and automatically stops the cycle when the desired dryness level is reached. This helps prevent over-drying, protects fabrics and avoids unnecessary energy use.

Quiet and Convenient to Use
Operating at just 63 dB(A), this Bosch tumble dryer delivers quiet performance that suits open-plan living spaces and busy homes. The AntiVibration design helps reduce movement and noise during operation for a more stable drying cycle.
Practical features such as delay start, anti-crease and an acoustic cycle-end alert make everyday laundry routines easier to manage. The delay timer allows you to schedule drying around your day, while the anti-crease function helps reduce wrinkling if laundry cannot be removed immediately.
Simple Maintenance and Practical Design
Maintenance is straightforward thanks to the EasyClean filter, helping maintain efficient airflow and drying performance. A full container indicator lets you know when the water tank needs emptying.
For added convenience, the supplied drain hose allows for continuous drainage if preferred. The dryer also uses R290 refrigerant and features a durable stainless steel drum, supporting long-lasting performance.
With its combination of A++ energy efficiency, quiet operation and versatile programmes, the Bosch WTH85226GB 8kg freestanding heat pump tumble dryer is a practical and reliable choice for households looking for effective and energy-conscious laundry care.
