We bought this machine around 3 months back though I was reluctant in the start, it was mommy who insisted on buying one for the house. Initially the amount seemed like a pain in the a** but I slowly started to like the Creda Dryer.
Looks good & is quite elegant with the metallic finish & the controls too make a long lasting impression on the onlooker . I would say it is much of a treat for the eye than for the pocket.
But no harm since it does the job well for the purpose its lying in my house & as long as the electricity bills aren't a pain in the a** I guess this thing's gonna stay for quite some time with us.
It dries the clothes well without damaging the fabric & it does not induce any external odour or bring about any change in the texture or colour or delicacy & it doesn't over dry it too. As you see overdrying clothes can reduce their longetivity by 20% ,i.e if the cloth was supposed to stay intact for 100 days then its only going to last 80 days. Though I don't see any technical defect the noise is pretty overtaking, makes a rumbling noise with a hiss & an occasional blop. Though I am not interested in finding out the origin of these sounds, they irritate quite badly. At least to me.

Though the capacity of just 3kg is very small & drying time is just too much at over 2 hours. I was told that machines that offer quick dry feature actually end up destroying your clothes as cloth shouldn't be quickly dried or they might get crisp or might even lose their strength. So I cannot tell that the creda is at fault.
Overall this is not a great machine for the price but I have known people to have got stuck with literal Sh** though having paid a higher price than this. So I recommend this product to those who have time to leave their clothes for 2 hrs & those who are very stringent about the quality of dry rather than have it done quick & sick. So choose what your pocket can do for you & a Creda. So long .
