I have found that this is quite a poor machine. I bought it because I wanted a sensor on the machine to avoid timed programmes still running once the items are dry. I have found that this machine's definition of dry and mine are not the same. I also wanted a condensing machine as it is difficult in my kitchen to vent a machine, and this wasw the cheapest machine that offered both features. However, I think it is true in this case that you get what you pay for.
it is OK on synthetic clothing, although I usually have to add some time if I want to put clothes away immediately. Where it really has a problem is on heavy cotton items such as towels, and particularly bedding. I have found bedding gets very tangled up and takes quite a lot of unravelling and is still soaking wet in the middle of the "bundle".
It also seems to take quite a lot longer than my old machine to get things dry.
One of the features that persuaded me to buy was the buzzer when it has finished. In reality I have turned this off because it proved extremely annoying. To buzz two or three times to tell you it's finished is fine, but this machine keeps on buzzing until you get up and hit the button to cancel it. The noise also seems designed to be as annoying as possible.
When I received my last electric bill, which had a comparison with usage over last year, this showed that my usage had gone up, when I have been very careful about trying to cut down, and this would seem to be the prime candidate for the reason behind this.
I think that if you can afford a better model you will be better off in the long run,.

A good first review - this is the first one I've heard of with a sensor. (A pity it doesn't seem to work as well as it could.) That buzzing feature sounds truly irritating!
