I'm going to start by saying how much I like this dryer……I like this dryer a lot!! This is not only good for my electricity bill but also for my poor old back, it looks good, its quiet, its quick and it does not tangle clothes.
This dryer does not use as much electricity because it dries quicker than my previous ones because it has anti-tangle which even works on sheets. The reason it good for my back is because the water container is at the top of the machine and you don't have to crouch down to the machine to put clothes in, I just throw them to the back.
The dryer itself is easy to use, it is self condensing (no need for pipes sticking out your window), the controls are self explanatory and the instruction book is in 'idiot note' style. It is best to sort your laundry by fabric type because it will dry better and quicker, there are two heat settings, the drying guide in the instructions and on front of the machine will help you decide which one to choose and the time needed.
The timer goes up to 140 minutes although I don't think you would ever have to use that much, the timer knob is easy to use and can only be turned clockwise, once this is to the required time the dryer will not start until you press the start button. The noise is very low, there is also a cooling time of 10 minutes.
The dryer is easy to clean, just wipe over the inside and outside with a damp cloth. To empty the fluff you just slide out the filter at the front and pick it off in one go, the water container is at the front top and just slides out like a dispenser drawer on a washing machine and you just empty the water out with no spilling.
It is recommended that you empty the water and fluff containers after each drying, this also cuts down on the drying time. The capacity for this dryer is: Natural fibres ~ 6kg ~ 13lb Synthetics ~ 3kg ~ 6.6lb so it's a good amount of washing!
I highly recommend this dryer to anyone, you will not be disappointed.
Good review for me! had all the info I need for a make I have not used before, as my hotpoint has crashed after 2 years for the second time I will be looking at these!
thanks!
