Do you love it, too, when your towels come out of the dryer all soft and fluffy? A washing machine and a dryer are ideal partners – one ensures cleanliness and freshness, the other guarantees the right finish: Sleek, cared-for fabrics.

How a smart dryer with Home Connect works

Smart dryers with the Home Connect function help you to select the right programme for your washing and ensure a perfect result. You simply send the dryer information on the properties of your textiles and your drying requirements using the Home Connect app. Sensors constantly measure the temperature and moisture of the textiles during the drying process. The dryer then dries your washing really gently and precisely to the required degree of dryness. This means that the appliance uses less energy and your washing comes out of the dryer without creases.

In addition, you can use the app on your smartphone or tablet to flexibly define when your Home Connect dryer from Bosch or another home appliance brand starts its work. The smart dryer adapts to your daily schedule, not the other way round.

What are you waiting for? Take a look at the possibilities that a Home Connect dryer has to offer.

"Your washing is ready for drying."

Once your washing is ready to be dried, your smart Home Connect dryer steps in to finish the job. The WiFi-enabled dryer sends a push notification once it's done.

Thanks to the new Bosch Smart Dry technology, both of your appliances can tailor their programmes perfectly to each other. Via Smart Dry, the dryer receives the settings of the last washing programme and chooses the appropriate drying programme.
