The Bosch Dry 1000 is a small, quiet dehumidifier for a single room, such as a bedroom, box room or home office. Bosch quotes 34 dB(A), one of the lowest figures among the compressor models featured on this site, and a modest 175 W rating. Its Easy Dry Select system boils operation down to three automated modes, so it is aimed at people who want to press one button and leave it.
- Laundry mode
- Yes
- Extraction
- 10 L/day
- Airflow
- Not stated
- Tank
- 2.5 L
- Drainage
- Not stated
In its favour
- Laundry is one of three automated modes that adjust to the room's humidity.
- The listing states 34 dB(A), so it can dry washing in a bedroom quietly.
- Easy roll castors and a handle make it simple to move next to the airer.
Good to know
- Rated for rooms up to 17 m², so it suits a small drying room.
- The 2.5 litre tank may need emptying during a long session.
Our take
Easy Dry Select modes
There are three modes: Auto, Night and Laundry. Bosch says the unit monitors humidity in the room continuously and adjusts its performance to match, which should avoid running at full power once the air is dry enough. Night is intended for sleeping hours, while Laundry is aimed at clothes on an airer.
Three fan speeds are listed, though the modes are designed so you rarely need to choose one manually.
Specs that matter for a small room
Extraction is up to 10 litres a day for rooms up to 17 square metres. That is roughly a large double bedroom, so this is not a whole house unit. The cabinet is 23 by 31.3 by 47.6 cm and weighs 10.5 kg, with an integrated handle and castors for rolling it between rooms. The 240 V rating and 175 W draw make it a low cost machine to leave running for long periods.
Tank and daily emptying
Water collects in a semi transparent 2.5 litre tank designed for leak proof emptying, and you can see the level through the side. No continuous drainage hose is mentioned in the listing, so during a long laundry session or a very damp spell, you may need to empty it partway through. Positioning it close to the sink or bathroom makes that chore quicker, and the castors help here.
How it compares
The De'Longhi DEX210SF matches the 10 litre rating and adds a hose option and two filters, with a slightly higher 37 dB claim. The Masterplug 12L smart offers app control, HEPA filtration and a little more extraction at a similar 185 W. The Bosch stands out for the lowest stated noise and the simplest controls.
Verdict
The Bosch Dry 1000 suits a bedroom, nursery or small office where quiet running matters and the room is under 17 square metres. If you want hose drainage, the De'Longhi DEX210SF is the alternative, and if you would prefer app control and air purification, the Masterplug 12L smart is the better fit.
