Bosch condenser or Miele heat pump dryer?

If this Bosch dryer I have doesn't use a heater on the towels cycle how can it be so quick because if I understand what you are saying, Why would it take 2x longer on a cupboard dry cycle when it could be as quick as the towels one ?

So if I go by what you are telling me I may as well use the towels cycle for all cottons and it would be 2x as quick ?

There just is no heater

Not sure what you are trying to say there.
But there is no heater for drying in any BSH heat pump dryer that has ever been build.

Take your model number, put it in the spare part ordering tool on the Bosch website and you'll see there is no mention of a heater in any list.

Trying to come for me using my own videos? The shade of it all!

Well, yes, my pervious Bosch condenser did mess up these paper-thin bed linen. The heat-pump dryer hasn't rolled up anything yet, despite me challenging it.

If there is a downside to it, then it's the fact that these Bosch dryers get mighty hot towards the very end of the cycle when you select a high drying level. Didn't Bosch use variable speed heat-pumps at one point? As it stands, it just keeps "heating" continually until the dryness is reached and then shuts off - no cool down. The dryer reached 160F on several occasions towards the end of a Extra Dry cycle.

I laughed off the video thing because of the fact it’s a condenser not heat pump. Any number of things from the heat in a condenser could affect the load such as hot sticky fibres helping tangling to form, and how fibres behave In hot temperatures. Static formation is none existent too in this Bosch heat pump. Yet it’s been very evident in Bosch condenser and other conventional dryers too.

I too have not had a single load tangle. Facts. Not assumptions or poor attempts to prove something when that person hasn’t used or owned a product in question for any reasonable amount of time.

If a video isn't proof enough

First review.
Basically any modern HP dryer has a review with the tangeling issue.

Here the current design with inverter motor, if you want to argue that's the issue.

I don't own one, but had the issue in a friend's machine.
We have one set bedding at home that does not tangle, no matter what.

All the others do.

It's one of the things I say over and over.

Any dryer can tangle.
Some worse some less.

Some never have issues.
Some do all the time.

Just something to be aware off.

I have had some tangling issues with my Siemens (Bosch) heatpump dryer. Two single fitted sheets, two pillow covers and two single duvet covers tangled up in one of the fitted sheets. It was quite difficult to untangle the whole bundle. Most of the time the duvet covers and pillow covers are line dried and I put the very thick elastic fitted sheets in the dryer. No tangling issues with that.

Tangling

 

<span style="font-family: helvetica;">I don't have much of an issue with tangling in my Miele T1 heat pump.  When I do the sheets it's usually a king size flat and fitted sheets and I think six pillow cases.  On occasion, this load will tangle into a ball that can be difficult to untangle.  It doesn't happen all the time.  Not sure why.  That's about it.  Most other loads are fine.</span>

Availability

Just came across a press release on Miele's German website, stating that production of washers and dryers in their German and Czech factories respectively will be drecreased further, as parts (mostly electronics) and becoming more and more scarce.

Its been a 3 to 4 month waiting period here since at least the end of last year. A mate was shopping for new appliances for his new house, and Miele suggested that he needed to plan to order 6 months early.

Other friends ordered a new one in December, the washer arrived in March, the dryer in May.
