Introduction

Designed for small homes, Bosch's Axxis WTV76100US dryer has an extremely miniscule footprint for a full-feature dryer. It's ideal for someone who wants a high-end machine that doesn't take up very much space. The dryer is vented and runs on 220V power, but as long as you have the necessary hookups it'll fit nearly anywhere.

That doesn't mean the Axxis is without tradeoffs. The biggest is that dry cycles took a very long time -- often a half hour longer than average -- and the cheapest we could find this unit online was just under $800. For that money, you could take your pick of some of the best dryers on the market. Unless you've got serious space limitations, a full-size is almost certainly a better pick.
