Data checked 14/10/2026 · Bestpreisradar editorial team · How we compare
YOUR CHOICE IN THREE BUDGET TIERS
A dryer is only needed if space or time for air-drying is lacking. A clothes airer is the cheaper alternative.
Our recommendations by features and use case, not a complete market test. The tiers apply within the category; daily deals can change the price order. Source check: 15.10.2026.
Why this choice? Our high-end choice for large laundry loads with 9 kg and additional fabric care via DryCare 40.
Before buying: Only go for more capacity if you actually need it. Check stackability and the matching stacking kit.
Search current offers ↗Search for this model on Amazon ↗Advertising · model search, not a checked individual offerWhy this choice? Our mid-range choice for family laundry: self-cleaning condenser and moisture-controlled drying.
Before buying: Lint filters and other maintenance still apply. Compare the current EU label on the specific listing.

On small screens the table can be moved sideways. The linked data sheets state the exact variant.
Our assessment: The listing title names 8 kg and the SelfCleaning Condenser. On 24.09.2026 ranked No. 1 in the Amazon subcategory heat pump dryers with Bestseller tag. The self-cleaning condenser is the convenience argument: no manual brushing-out of the heat exchanger.
The trade-off: Energy class and consumption per cycle aren't stated in the listing title; read the EU label (new A–G scale) in the listing and enter it in the calculator below. Noise level and programme duration haven't been cross-checked here.

Our assessment: The listing title names 8 kg, energy class C and remote control. Rank 2 in the subcategory on 24.09.2026 with Amazon's Choice tag and 500 purchases in the past month (Amazon's figure). The budget option, if energy class C is sufficient.
The trade-off: No mention of a self-cleaning condenser in the title – check heat exchanger maintenance in the manual. Service network and spare parts differ from Bosch/Siemens; read the warranty terms.

Our assessment: The listing title names 8 kg and autoDry (moisture sensor). Rank 4 in the subcategory on 24.09.2026. The no-frills Siemens option for anyone who wants brand-name service but doesn't need a self-cleaning condenser.
The trade-off: Energy class isn't in the title; Siemens appliances in the same series carry different classes. Without a self-cleaning condenser, regular cleaning of the heat exchanger is essential for consumption.

PURCHASE PRICE PLUS ELECTRICITY OVER THE YEARS
Enter the per-cycle consumption from the EU label of the specific listing, plus the listing price and delivery, for each model. The fields are blank because we haven't cross-checked the label values at this stage.
Total amount = purchase + delivery + years × cycles × kWh per cycle × electricity price. The label states the weighted consumption of the Eco programme; other programmes use different amounts. The period is a calculation horizon, not a durability forecast.

FROM TV ADVERTISING
Large appliances rarely appear as TV offers. Check retailer promotions with cashback instead: the refund amount isn't an instant discount and requires registration.
Understanding cashback correctly →Heat pump dryers use significantly less electricity per cycle and dry more gently at a lower temperature, but take longer. With frequent use, the extra cost pays off through electricity savings; the calculator above shows this with your own figures.
The heat exchanger is rinsed with condensate instead of you having to clear it of lint regularly. Without this feature, consumption rises if cleaning is neglected.
We only publish what is verified in the listing. For Bosch and Siemens, the class wasn't stated in the listing title; the EU label of the specific listing names it – enter the kWh figure into the calculator.
