How Bosch Dryers Are Built
Bosch's current U.S. dryers are 24-inch ventless models that need no ducting and pump condensed water out through an included drain hose. Source: Bosch - Wash and Dry #LikeABosch 24" Compact Laundry Brochure
Heat pump models can use an optional condensate tank instead of the drain hose; a drain indicator lights when the tank is full or the hose is kinked or blocked. Source: Bosch - Use and Care Manual, Heat Pump Dryer WTW87NH1UC
