Tumble Dryers > Freestanding Tumble Dryers > 350 GBP to 449 GBP

Advantages: does as it says
Disadvantages: do not overload or it takes ages

My husband bought this drier, much to my despair; I prefer the good old radiators for drying my clothes as I have always thought that a drier would rapidly increase my electricity bill. Which yes it has increased it but not by as much as what I thought. I still tend to use the radiators also rather than just using the drier for everything. The drier also said that it would save on ironing, as it takes all the creases out, surely that cannot be right. ...
...put it to the test. I decided to do a full load in the drier. Well I was slightly disappointed the clothes took absolutely ages to be dry, and although they were not really badly creased I still had to run over them with a quick iron. To be honest that is what I expected from a full load in the drier. Then I tried just a few items, this time I was impressed, the clothes were dry in about 20 minutes, and there was no creases in them. So on the few ... Read review

Advantages: Very Quiet, Efficient, Economical, Drying Options to Suit All Loads, Timer Delay
Disadvantages: More expensive to buy initially - but worth every penny ! Slightly more creases than other brands .

...happy with them. Owning the Miele has made me realise what I could have had for all these years! The Miele dryer is very efficient and has intelligent sensors. It starts off estimating how long the programme will take but then adjusts its timer to automatically suit the moisture content in the drum. This makes it very economical as it always shortens the time. I have complete control over the programme cycles. The timer delay allows for cheap rate ...
...the software as and when Miele invent new things or improve anything so it will remain up to date in future. It was easy to use and set up the first time. The instructions that came with it were very comprehensive and easy to understand. The free 5 year guarantee offer is worth £206. However, you must register with Miele within 30 days of purchase using a special downloadable form from their website to get this. I can honestly say that I am over ... Read review

It's the first time I've been out and bought a Tumble Dryer before (having been given them previously) and to be honest, I chose the matching washing machine and bought this to make the set (LG WM14331FD - the set cost £750 from Comet as a package deal). But it's fabulous ... Read review

Advantages: Dries quickly and quietly.
Disadvantages: Condensed moisture leaks everywhere.

It does away with the need to empty the condenser chamber or duct to outside. Very simple to plumb in to existing plumbing and it's very easy to use. It does the job of drying extremely well, and quietly too. However ... We are on our second HHD780X in as many months. The first 'leaked' steam which then condenses everywhere, including inside the dryers enclosure, so we had water everywhere. Seals, ducts and drum were replaced a few times, but ...
...isn't any better! We're now waiting for a return call to find out what can be done in order to sort out the problem, so it's fingers crossed that the problem can be sorted! ******************************************* UPDATE Our 3rd machine works perfectly! Yippee! Ratings have been adjusted accordingly. ... Read review

Advantages: small, good make, very easy to use. both clockwise and anticlockwise drying
Disadvantages: 3kg only

I bought this machine just over a year ago from currys for £100. I was a straight off the shelve display model. Works fine no problems. Only a 3kg dry though, but I can fit most of my 7kg wash into it. Has a cool and a hot heat button. Has a 10 minute cool down time at the end. I have a pipe from it into a white box with water in it. The box with pipes was supposed to be £20 from curries. We didn't entend to get it but we went back in to see that ...
...hold on. They they gave us the box with a longer pipe and one that fits. Great value for money. Very easy to easy, you just turn a dial clockwise. It has both clockwise and anticlockwise drying. the cleaning grid is very easy to remove and easy to clean. should be done after each dry. so easy though its never been a problem. ... Read review
