...ensued with Comet as I tried to return it and they have this horribly complicated returns process - that I eventually had to get Beko to authorise. Got another as a replacement, but problems can still persist - but at least only £100 down the drain and not £200+ ... 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

Advantages: Easy to use, easy to clean filters
Disadvantages: End of programme and water tank full alarm can drive you a bit crazy!

I bought this last year whilst renovating my new flat. I hadn't had a tumble dryer before and so although I wanted a cheap machine for the few times I would use it, I also wanted to get a good machine that I could stick in the cupboard out of the way. I find this Zanussi tumble dryer very easy to use, all I have to do is put the clothes in, scroll the control knob to the time that I want and press Start! It also has the option to say that their ...
...I mainly use the dryer for my towels and bed sheets, or in winter when I finish off a load from the line. I don't personally find this a problem, but my partner always says that it's hard to empty the water tank at the bottom of the machine, as it's very low down and you have to bend down and unclip something to get the tank out... He normally ends up pulling out the wrong one and soaking himself with de-ionized water! :) I find that the filters ... Read review

Advantages: Solid Build, Simple operation, well thought out
Disadvantages: slightly bulky

Another fantastic product from Gorenje. Solidly built, reasonable drying times, and very quiet. This product has several well thought out features, from the simple "one hand" program setting (a single dial that you rotate to teh setting, then press the go button) to the easy access fluff filter, this dryer has it all. The only downside with this dryer is the shape means it DOES protrude into the floor area from under your work surface, but its ...
...two of floor space lost, and well worth it. The 6kg load is more than adequate for the purpose, and even when crammed to the limit of the capacity the drying time is still pretty quick. Just for information; Capacity : 6kg Type : Condensor Efficiency: C Height : 85cm Width : 60cm Depth : 62.5cm Control : Timer Program Display : No Delay : No Warranty : 24months Parts & Labour All in all, a very efficient and excellent value dryer. ...
