Advantages: Cheap and Cheerful, Anti-Tangle
Disadvantages: Dont expect it to last forever.

This is a standard layout and size tumble drier, which does what it says on the tin... It is a no-frill item... but works well and does its job. The load capacity is stated as 5Kg (or 11 pounds if your getting on a bit like me!) The drier has a standard glass front loaded door, which appears to have a good closing and opening action. The door does not lock but the appliance switches off when the door is open... preventing possible injury/danger. ...
...of the internal drum. This pulls out and can be carefully opened out and cleaned. This is a little flimsey and plastic, but providing you treat it gently, it should last a long time. The appiance has a push button heat selecting switch for selecting low or high heat. The rotary timer control ranges from 10mins to 120mins of drying time, with a standard 10minute cooling tumble cycle during the final 10minutes of drying. There is an anti- tangle ... Read review

Advantages: anti-tangle, easy access
Disadvantages: not as fresh as drying outside

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 ...
...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 ...

Advantages: Condenser , easy to clean and maintain. No vents required
Disadvantages: Water holder cover door can break easily,

We purchased this tumble dryer about 2 years ago. It is used up to three times a day and has been a great tumble dryer. We do a lot of washing (4 kids) and wanted to use the dryer both over night and during the day. We didn't want to leave windows open for the vent, so we decided to purchase a more expensive condensing machine. It runs for upto 120 mins, with a final 'cool tumble' for 10 mins. This seems to help with the ironing. There are two heat ...
...'high' all the time. There is an anti tangle feature which seems to work quite well, except with quilt covers... The filters are easily removed for cleaning. The water drum is located at the bottom behind a plastic removable cover. Our old washing machine was only a 1000 spin speed, so we had to empty the drum almost every tumble load. We have now purchased a 1400 spin washer and it only needs emptying every 3-4 load's now. The large filter above ... Read review

Advantages: dries clothes - has a timer - very quiet
Disadvantages: produces lots of condensation - condensation pipe is too short - lack of heat settings

...all - I bought the Creda TVS3 from Sainsburyskitchenappliances.co.uk for £229 - bear in mind Creda are the dryer equivalent of Lada to cars! The TVS3 comes in one colour - white and sits at 59.5 cm wide - 55 cm deep - 85 cm tall and is actually bigger than my washing machine - thankfully it fitted. When it was unwrapped from its protective covers I hooked up the vent pipe to the vent outlet (which is positioned on the rear) and set about trying ...
...kg - reality is that this isn't much wet clothing at all but it will dry all of my work shirts - pants and socks for a week in one go - jeans and t-shirts have to be done serperately. The good points with the machine are that it works - in the 4 months I've had it there have been no breakdowns or failures to dry and it's very quiet. The bad points are that it pumps out a large amount of condensation. The pipe on the rear and positioning in my kiutchen ... Read review

Advantages: It's cheap and easy to use.
Disadvantages: It heats the room, legs and door aren't adjustable, doesn't dry large items well, eg duvet covers

I've owned Creda appliances before and always found them to be cheap,but capable.I have owned this tumble dryer for about six months. The first problem came when we wanted to swap the door to open the other way. The engineer had to jam paper into the lock to make it close. It was the only option, as the door wasn't adjustable. When using the dryer, it pumps out lots of warm air into the room - OK in the winter, but not in the summer. It is also very ... Read review
