Bosch WTV74105GB review
http://www.which.co.uk/home-and-garden/laundry-and-cleaning/reviews/tumble-dryers/bosch-wtv74105gb/review/
The vented Bosch WTV74105GB tumble dryer is equipped with both automatic sensor-drying settings as well as manual program options so you can decide whether to let the machine pick the drying time, or do it yourself. We tested this tumble dryer in our labs to see how effectively it worked.

I think it does not get things as dry, even though they were both sensor type. I sometimes use the Timed dry option to finish off things that are not really cupboard dry.I was surprised to find the drum is galvanised, not stainless steel. I suppose this is because it is their cheapest model.It was also by far the cheapest Which best buy, which is why I got it. Pros: Cons:

Worth viewing before buying - I bought on-line.* Not noisy but equally not quiet. Pros: Cons:

I checked the reviews for many of the cheaper products and realised its just not worth the hassle of buying a poor quality/ perfomance product at a cheaper price. Ive doen it before and always regretted it . quality and performance does come at a slightly higher price , Pros: Cons:

I wouldn't say that this machine is the quietest I've come across but it's certainly not too loud. My only slight gripe is that on occasions some parts of the load are not completely dry at the end of the cycle, mainly cotton socks are left ever so slightly damp. Considering that this best buy machine is around half the price of other best buys then I think it represents good value for money. Pros: Cons:

However I feel confident that the easycare/cotton setting is good. I find the door handle fine. I feel the build quality is good and efficiency rating very good. Pros: Cons:
