My wife and I moved from out-of-state back to Oahu in September, and we inherited a Bosch compact ventless dryer that worked well for two months but stopped spinning all of a sudden. The last couple of weeks it made pretty loud squeaking noises when it was running. After taking it apart, David showed us a broken belt (which would have been easily replaced) but also what looked like years' worth of dust buildup that he explained was common among compact ventless dryers. He also explained that when this dust accumulation mixes with the Bosch lubricant over the years of usage, it turns to a tar-like consistency, and the machine never works the same again. He told us that we could take the machine apart, vacuum as much of the dust as possible and replace the broken belt, but odds are we would end up spending close to 1/2 the cost of a new machine on repairs, and he could not guarantee that these repairs would be long-lasting. He recommended we get a new machine. We appreciated his honesty. We want to get a full-sized ventless dryer since we have the space for it. Too bad worldwide supply chain issues make ventless dryers so difficult to find in stock! read more
