Advantages: No need for a vent. Dries laundry well and has a sensor. Disadvantages: Generates a lot of heat. Not the most compact model in the world.
...After using our brand new tumbledryer for over six weeks now I feel that I have used it enough to write about it. I’ve never had a tumbledryer before, so this is a whole new product to me, I only have my own experiences to go on and I don’t have any other dryers to compare this one to.
~~~Why we decided to get a tumbledryer.
We don’t really have any drying space in our house (just a couple of radiators) because our only fire is in the living room and drying clothes in front of that would obscure the TV (and we don’t want THAT!). Drying outside means hanging things out in the back garden, but this isn’t possible in winter or when the weather is wet.

...Having three kids and a husband, my washing seems to be never ending, and then trying to find enough drying space was also a nightmare, so about two years ago we decided to buy a tumbledryer.
We bought the Proline TDC7A from a local shop and it cost around £190 including delivery, The tumbledryer was delivered the following day.
The dryer is quiet heavy but it`s on wheels and it is easy enough to move about, as this machine is a condenser we were able to put it anywhere in the kitchen which was handy.
Features of the tumbledryer include two heat settings, 140 minute spinning time, a water drawer, and a warning light when drawer is full and on the dryer is a list of times that it should take clothes to dry depending on what tempeture you choose.
