Third-party reviews

What we like about Bush TDHP7KG2025

  • Heat pump drying that reuses warm air.
  • A++ energy class for low running costs.
  • 59.5 cm width fits a narrow utility space.
  • 58 cm depth keeps it shallow against a wall.
  • Compact size suits a small room or a flat.
  • 85 cm height is manageable in most laundry spaces.

What we don't like about Bush TDHP7KG2025

  • The 7 kg drum is small for a big family's bedding.
  • A duvet may need a load to itself.
  • Big families will run more cycles each week.
  • Its 85 cm height may not suit a low cupboard space.

Verdict

At 59.5 cm wide and 58 cm deep, the Bush TDHP7KG2025 fits into a small utility room or a tight corner of a flat. It is a heat pump model, so it reuses its warm air rather than venting it outside, and the A++ energy class keeps running costs low. Its 85 cm height is easy to live with in most laundry spaces. The main limit is the 7 kg drum. A family's bedding or a big pile of towels will need two cycles, and that adds time to the laundry. Those who wash every day will notice the extra cycles most. It suits one person or a couple who want a neat machine in a small space and do not mind a few extra cycles. A larger family should look for a bigger drum.
