Well, as far as I know it was discontinued because of disappointing sales for this machine. Notwithstanding its obvious advantage in energy efficiency, people seemed to be put off by the higher price and the need for installing a gas supply to the machine.
New Dryer by Bosch: EcoLogixx 7 with Heat Pump Technology

"Self clean feature : how does it work? Periodical reverse blowing?"
Look at my YouTube videos. The dryer flushes the condensor with condensed water. It's the second and third video in my "Dryers" playlist.

Hi Nick,
It's Dux, Edwards, Saxon, Rheem, they all now have different flavours. I think it's from 2010 in Queensland where you wont be able to fit a Resistance heater for hot water into a new dwelling.
They're quite common now and after the rebates dont cost any more than a Resistance heater. The big advantage they have over solar, is that they are much cheaper to install in an existing dwelling.
Cheers
Nathan

Thanks, Nathan
You can tell I live in an apartment and have never bought a hot water service! I didn't realise heat pump technology had made it to market. Back in the 80's, it was a hard slog to get anybody to pay attention because fuel (gas) was cheap. It's good to see an idea that was initially ahead of its time finally gain acceptance.

Oh, okay!
Well, there's a pipe running from the water tank to the condensor (the front of it). Several times during the drying cycle, a little flap opens and lets the collected water run down the pipe and then through the condensor.

That was the great feature I noticed with the V-Zug heat Pump dryer, no filter condenser to take out & clean, just a drop down door with an air clean filter sponge!!!
AND, a non vented dryer that doesnt sound like a train with all those blower fans!!!...
I do like the way the Siemens flushes the used water through, well thought out!!!, nice vids, Mike

"a little flap opens ..."
But surely there will be insufficient cleaning ability in this water? Won't you still have to periodically remove the condenser unit and blast water through it?
Speaking of driers, my Zanussi condenser just last week snapped its belt; new belt on order. Meanwhile I am using a small compact vented drier branded 'Electra' (Creda/Hotpoint machine by another name, before Indesit got its mitts on the companies).
I am shocked! The little vented drier dries admittedly a smaller load, but it does it in half the time! And the room is cooler too.
When the condenser machine finally does bite the dust, I'm tempted to go back to vented.

V-Train that doesn't sound like a train *LOL*
Mike, I do believe it....with such a price that makes miele best trade off price/performance *LOL*
Anyway - as I live quite close to the swiss border - I was told also Zug dishwashers are very reliable.

That's quite true, I had forgotten about that! The condenser drier is in the kitchen and the vented drier is actually in the spare room.
No, on second thoughts I'll stick with condenser driers LOL

I think the condensor is built into the machine - does not seem to be removable.

Alex : Thanks4expl - - - Nice design from the past
From the shining 70ies a knee-high HA TL tumble dryer with the matching washer. They were an early answer to the Reason DraWasher issue
It has a 100 litre drum -they said for 4 kg .. with today's trend it can hold 6 kg
For those who love top loaders but also want to bend anyway ;-)
Similar under table washers were made by Zanussi, A.E.G., Siemens .Even Miele made one (W473?)
Sometimes I wonder why some american consumers complain about the bending issue with FL washers while they have FL dryers.
I could understand it if they had BOTH TL W & D as the French have from ages...

Miele or Bosch/Siemens
Soon I will be in the market for a new dryer. In wintertime it's impossilbe to hang a complete load out to dry, so most of those things just go in the dryer. I'm convinced that heatingpumptechnologie is well made and very energy efficient. But I can't make up my mind neither to buy a bosch/siemens with selfcleaning condensor, and big filter gap where you can't get in to clean it or to pick up some coins that felt in. Or a Miele with filter on the door (still much more convenient to clean), but much more cleaning work with all the filters and still some chance to have lint in the condensor.
What do you think guys?
I have a feeling that Miele is very silent about there A+class dryer, in contradiction siemens and bosch make lot's of promo on their websites and on youtube(thanks to the one who set those videos on youtube)

Normally the only bending comes from unloading American dryers. Full sized domestic dryers for the USA market have always made a point of having very large door openings. One merely takes laundry from the washing machine and bungs it into the dryer, not much stooping required.
