If you grew up in an Irish household, you know the two great sins of energy use: leaving the immersion on and running the tumble dryer. Both are guaranteed to earn you a lecture about “eating electricity.”
And yet, we’ve all been there. You’ve washed that one top you had to wear on a night out, waited impatiently for it to spin, and then, heart racing, lobbed it into the dryer, hoping no one noticed. You’d almost feel you should hide the lecky bill.
But what if the guilt was gone?
A different kind of tumble dryer
Bosch’s heat pump tumble dryers are rewriting the story. Instead of being the household villain, they’ve turned into the clever, energy-savvy option. The 9kg model uses around 73% less electricity than the older 8kg Bosch version, which makes a serious dent in running costs. For anyone looking to upgrade their dryer, Bosch's heat pump tumbler dryers meet the tougher EU energy standards introduced in July 2025.
What you won’t hear about the dryer anymore
Certain phrases might finally vanish from Irish kitchens and utility rooms:
- “Turn that thing off, it’s eating electricity!” With heat pump technology, the dryer uses less.
- “That dryer ruins your good clothes.” Lower drying temperatures are gentler, so fabrics are more likely to keep their colour and shape for longer.
- “Don’t forget to clean the filter!” Bosch has built in clever fluff-handling tech. In fact, maintenance is now so easy you won’t have to wonder where the filter even is.
Bigger, smarter, easier tumble drying
There are more tumble dryer upgrades too:
- A 9kg drum, so you can get bigger loads done in one go.
- Self-cleaning condenser and fluff filter system, less faff, less mess.
- Automatically senses when your load is dry with its Auto Dry
- A special programme to stop your sheets and duvets getting tangled.
- Super Quick 40 drying to dry a small load in 40 minutes.
Goodbye dryer guilt
The immersion may always carry its bad reputation, but the tumble dryer? Thanks to Bosch, its days of shame are over. Now you can throw in that last-minute outfit before a night out and skip the guilty conscience.
Your clothes, and your lecky bill, will thank you.
