What we like about Bosch WRB247C0IT Serie 8

  • 14 drying programs include wool, shirts and duvets.
  • Humidity sensors stop the cycle at the right dryness, so clothes do not overheat.
  • A self-cleaning condenser means no manual lint clearing.
  • Wi-Fi with the Home Connect app lets you control it from your phone.
  • A delayed start of up to 24 h fits around a busy day.
  • Energy class A and an inverter motor keep energy use low.

What we don't like about Bosch WRB247C0IT Serie 8

  • At 56 kg it is hard to move, especially on your own.
  • The ECO cycle takes 265 min, so a full load is slow to dry.
  • Integrated fitting means it must go into a built-in space, so it cannot stand freely.
  • At 62.7 cm deep it needs a clear run from the wall.

Verdict

Fourteen programs and a heat pump are the first things you notice about the Bosch WRB247C0IT Serie 8, a 9 kg dryer for families who want a machine that mostly takes care of itself. Humidity sensors decide when the load is done, so clothes rarely come out overheated. The Wi-Fi link works with the Home Connect app, so you can start or follow a cycle from your phone. The self-cleaning condenser takes away the usual chore of clearing lint, and the inverter motor keeps power use steady. The trade-off is weight and time. At 56 kg it is hard to move, and the ECO cycle runs for 265 min, so it suits people who plan ahead. A delayed start of up to 24 h suits a busy household that dries large loads.
