Third-party reviews

What we like about Bush TDHP9KG2025

  • A wide range of programs, including allergy care at the highest temperature.
  • Dryness level choice on most programs.
  • Anti-crease option on most programs, so shirts need less ironing.
  • Rotation keeps bedding from getting tangled.
  • Low running cost for an electric dryer.
  • Results stay very good after several uses.

What we don't like about Bush TDHP9KG2025

  • The time dry program cannot be set shorter than an hour.
  • The condenser needs emptying after every cycle.
  • The fluff filter needs emptying after every cycle too.
  • Dryness level is unavailable on certain programs.

Verdict

Program choice is the main draw of the Bush TDHP9KG2025, a budget dryer that suits a household with plenty of washing. It has a wide range of programs, and the highest temperature setting includes allergy care. Dryness level and anti-crease options are available on most programs, which helps with shirts and bedding. Rotation keeps bedding from getting tangled, so duvets come out in better shape. Running costs are low for an electric dryer, which counts when you dry most days. The trade-offs are the time dry program, which cannot be set shorter than an hour, and the condenser and fluff filter, which need emptying after every cycle. Not every option works on every program. It suits a buyer who wants many choices and does not mind a little routine upkeep.
