Bosch Dry 1000 Dehumidifier - Easy Efficient Quiet For Your Home & Bedroom - For Rooms up to 17 m² - Quick Drying for Your Laundry

We purchased this around 10 weeks ago to replace our old EcoAir that we had for over 4 years. So far, I am very impressed with this wee machine. It is so much quieter than our old EcoAir and it really pulls the moisture from the air in our house. We live in a super tiny, 2 bedroom bungalow which is just around 740sq feet/69 sqm (yes.... I know....it's tiny) and was built in 1979 with good old cheap breeze blocks and little to no insulation. Insulation was badly blasted into our cavity walls some time in the 80's and then our loft has about 2 feet of insulation that was badly installed too. So our house easily traps moisture and gets terribly damp if we don't do everything we can to keep on top of it. Being in Northern Ireland, it's constantly cold with very high humidity so it's a daily battle to keep our house dry. Particularly during the winter, we've awoken to literal condensation water running down our bedroom walls before. That completely freaked me out and I knew we needed to do something. Our HE inspector's solution was to open our windows wide and keep the heat blasted on. I told him I'd gladly do that if he was planning on paying for our heating bills. He laughed. That was his only solution for the mould and damp we were getting everywhere. It got so bad that mould destroyed our mattress and we had to purchase a new bed because it was so badly damaged with mould. We finally purchased a dehumidifier and it's been a game changer. This little machine works a charm. It has multiple settings including a timer. You can set it to the humidity that you want and the machine switches on or off once it detects that the air humidity drops above or below that number. And once it's hits the proper humidity, it switches off. It has a fantastic little setting for when you need to dry your washing indoors, which, living in rainy cold NI, happens a lot. We set the machine on the drying setting and add the amount of hours we want it to run at that level. It seems to make our washing dry faster as it pulls the moisture out of the clothes. Because we are in a bungalow, we have a central hallway with only 5 rooms in total running off it, so we simply place the machine at the top of the hall, outside the bathroom, open all 5 doors and allow the machine to run and get down to the optimal moisture level. And so far, all our rooms seem pretty dry. The water reservoir is very easy to remove and clean and it also alerts you once it's full. So far, we are delighted with how well this machine works. And it's an added bonus that it's not a noisy as our old one. Highly recommend this machine.

I chose this over the other offerings due to its lower wattage and running costs compared to other popular machines. I'm also a fan of Bosch being the user of many of their power tools. Wifey is surprised by the amount of moisture this collects, the stuffy damp smell is gone from the north facing spare room. It's now being utilised in the main bathroom due to the existence of mold on the ceiling and walls, early days but I'm supremely confident this machine will alleviate the unsightly issue.

The 4000 is a great machine. Bought this to put upstairs in our upstairs spare room in 2 bed semi where we hang clothes to dry and bathroom is upstairs too. It collects so much water and helps to dry the washing super fast. Very happy with it and amazed to see how much water it collects - I empty it every 48 hours if clothes have been hung up in that time.

Quite, small and effective.

I bought this to compare against a cheaper brand I'd bought that was very unimpressive and found this way better. Its measurement of humidity more or less matches my hygrometer (the other one didn't) and it's pretty efficient at pulling the moisture from the air (the other one wasn't). The tank needs emptied every four to six hours which is very easy to do. In laundry mode I hung a 10 tog duvet I'd just washed onto a clothes horse and it was completely dry within six hours! I checked my smart meter to work out running costs, and was pleased to note it only costs about 4p-ish an hour to run, which is pretty good. It's also quite quiet - about the same volume as a fridge freezer. It's easy to move around on a hard floor, but not quite so easy on carpet and the flex could do with being a bit longer, but those are the only slight negatives I've found so far.

Have had it for about a month now. I use it in our main bedroom, where we sleep with a baby. I think the noise is really not disturbing at all, is minimal. I keep it on night mode constantly and my humidity remains low as I wanted it (under 50). I read reviews of other brands before purchasing and I think the noise they made was higher than of this product. It’s really simple to use, touch buttons work fine, water reservoir easy to empty. A bit heavy yes, but I keep it in one place. Also has wheels, but I do not have much use for them on a carpet floor. I am very happy with it and considering purchasing a second one for the kitchen area.

Prompt delivery, easy to operate, so far, so good! I like the handle on the water tank, level of water collected also easy to see. Relatively quiet. Easy to move around. All positives so far!

Great dehumidifier should of brought this along time ago, keeps our kitchen area well under control.

Over many reviews on this one and other dehumidifiers I learned one thing, simplicity is the main reason anyone should look into. Dry 1000 do not come with air filter. You can buy it and spend extra 35 to 40€ on Bosch filters. It's worth it once per year for better quality air. If you use it on hollow floor (usually upstairs) do yourself fewer and put it on pice of timber or plywood with four spikes or screws. The vibration will be gone. Bosch should think about it but of course didn't. The noise stays in the specification level if you help it, as above in my description. The Dry 1000 is the smallest one but over few days make my place down a good 15%. From what I read a biggest misunderstanding is moist level. In my case between 55 and 60% is the sweet spot and this dehumidifier doing very good job and keep upstairs and downstairs on it. If you want impossible like 35 or 40% investment must be done and this one won't help you (accordingly to the space you intend to use). Overall, get air filters, use brain, put some effort to help Bosch work up to standard it represents. The most important thing, removing moist and stabilising this condition in your place takes time and effort, full stop. I hope I helped few of you.

Bosch is a quality product, you could not go wrong buying this item. 1 load of clothes dry within the 8 hours laundry mode, this included jeans and jumpers. I use this in a 6 sqm bathroom and it’s always bone dry in the next 30 mins, towel is dry, walls completely dry, no mould growth. I would prefer if the wheels have brakes/detachable or hidden, although this is useful when moving it from one place to another as you don’t have to carry.

This Bosch dehumidifier is extremely noisy! I was shocked with it when it first ran.. Bought Bosch because it is a premium brand. I don't know if it is faulty but I am returning it immediately!
