Tumble Dryers

The White Knight to the rescue on those wet summer days

Advantages: User friendly, light weight and good load capability
Disadvantages: C rated so not he most economical

...coming across a brand called White Knight. But, to add to my confusion, I discovered that there are several types of dryers, such as spin dryers, which simply spin the clothes inside so fast that they eventually dry. Then there’s the condenser dryer, which passes warm air through the clothes and turns the heated air into water vapour sending the vapour into a storage hold, thus eliminating the need for ventilation And then there’s the traditional ...
...we now know that the White Knight is not one of King Arthur’s friends from the round table era, it is actually a little more useful than that, being a very helpful aid in the clothes drying process, which, in good old Great Britain, is something which is much needed indeed. ** TECHNICAL BITS… * White * 6 KG, (13.2 lb) drying load * C energy rating * 4 kWh energy consumption * Reverse action * Fluff filter * Vent hose from rear (supplied) ...

Bosch WTE84308GB Exxcel: An efficient household addition

Advantages: Condensing, several programmes, low creasing levels
Disadvantages: None really

...as they can be found on the Bosch website, but I refer to the performance of the features that I use above. If I don't mention it, I don't use it. I cannot comment on whether it truly is Energy Efficiency rating B as we can't test that. ...

Hotpoint, this product didn't blow me away

Advantages: Looks the part
Disadvantages: inferior quality fittings

...*THE PRODUCT* Made by Hotpoint I believed the very attractive grey and anthracite colouring matched perfectly with my washer and blended in really well with my kitchen. The capacity is upto 7kg and well suited to a home like mine with at least a couple of washings done each day. The tumble dryer was a god send in our rain drenched country, escpecially during the winter months. The design is flawless and streamlined with a door hiding the usual ...
...the materials. On phoning Hotpoint I was informed the design had been updated and therefor I would have to try the Internet and see if I could find the said part . My Tumble Dryer is around 14 months old and I believe the company have had similar problems to mine and discontinued the latch on my machine. No recall from them, no redress as my warranty had expired. That will teach me not extending the warranty!! *THE SOLUTION* No luck on the Internet, ...

Zanussi-Electrolux ZDC 67550

Advantages: large, easy access,
Disadvantages: lint can get onto clothes on removal. Cannot change door opening!

...a wonderful easy to use zanussi tumble dryer for the past umpteen years, I looked around and found that as i was satisfied with it's past performance, I would go with another zanussi. I have a large capacity washer, so I needed a 7kg dryer. The machine works well, although has many different settings, which i don't need and makes it a little complicated. The water reservoir is located at the top for easy removal. It is quiet and with the large ...
...to make sure you clear the lint filter before removing any clothes as it is situated at the front, just inside the door on the main body, so you have to pull the clothes out across it. When i forget- which is frequently, the clothes pick this up, which is rather annoying! I have it next to my WM and it would make life a lot easier if the door opened the other way round. It is not a DIY job to change it - like my last one. If i want it changed, i ...

beko DRCS68W

Advantages: Dry to wear ( less ironing has to be a plus), easy to use,
Disadvantages: can't think of any at the moment...

We already own a Becko washing machine so were comfortable with buying this make again. With such a small area to have a tumble dryer we needed a condenser, and this one seemed very well priced with lots of features which you would normally find only on higher priced machines. I have to say I LOVE this dryer. The controls are easy to understand, the wide square opening makes loading it really easy, and the light inside means I don't leave items ...
...wear' feature has been great, and does just that. I haven't had to get the iron out for weeks now, and as I hate ironing that is a major plus for me. the water tank placement makes for easy emptying, the filter is just as easy to reach and clean. It can be a little noisy, but no more than any other dryer I have owned. I had read reviews saying that it was not a pretty looking dryer, so was pleasently surprised at how good it looked in my kitchen. ...
