Hey guys,
We've decided after having one in a holiday let that we need to bite the bullet and get a tumble dryer.
We've recently got a new Samsung washing machine some graphite bubble thingy, I think a series 6+ but I'd need to check.
In graphite, to match, it seems there's various models from both Bosch and Samsung, I was looking to a 9kg drum.
Both look similar price wise, say £730-50 on John Lewis.
Doing my research now in the hope of a black Friday deal!
So, any views on either manufactures offerings? And what should be a good buy price? - from a quick look it seems I might be able to get a Samsung around 5-600, not sure on a Bosch.
Opinions most welcome, I just learnt sbout heat pump tumble dryers about half hour ago! (The basics!)

sorted byTherefore I can do (based on your purchase options at say £700) an extra 4363 tumble sessions before I reach the cost of a Samsung or Bosch machines purchase price.
Buying the most expensive machine doesn’t always work out the best economically.
Yeah, I get your point, for a fleeting second I considered Mille, which was sbout double, but it's supposed to be very good. I shook my head and thought hang on 1.4k on a dryer we will only really use in winter!.. Probably not!
If the Indeset comes in graphite I may consider it. Not sold on either Bosch or Samsung, they just seemed to fit the bill.
By the way, best by according to where out of interest? We quite often use Independent Best buys for some reason! (probably because we don't subscribe to Which?)
i was also looking at bosch and lg as ive found them to be reliable from past experience but nearly all of them came with only 2 years hence going with samsung
i also got it via their EPP store to get some better discount...
We has a Bosch washing machine for sbout 6-7 years and never had a single problem so yeah, I share your view there.
Don't think I'd qualify for EPP now, only did before as my wife was a student for a short while! My sister in law gets some teacher like benefits from being a lab technician though, not sure if that counts!
Samsung are fantastic at being rubbish at after sales. They have nailed it. Only second to Whirlpool Group
I'd buy on best price and best warranty.
