Tumble Wumble
Review of Hoover VHV 180 by
jimtit
Advantages: Good to dry things!
Disadvantages: Bad to keep cat in!
I have had this dryer for about 2 week as put new kitchen in and husband put the dry hole in wrong place! so cant put vent out so invested in this condensing dryer
over all i am very impressed as never had a condenser dryer before it can quite happily hold a full washer load of wet washing about 7 kg which is good as my little one dirty s lots of cloths
Can do 3 loads between emptying condensing drum which take about 20 secs to do!!! Just pull ... ...my husband dose for watering his plants!!(yes he is sad)
light comes on when it is full and machine stops working till it is emptied!!
the fluff collector can be a little fiddly to empty but is easy after you have done it a few times
Have found that this is a very quiet machine compared to other machine i have had
It has two heat setting and a timer so you can do delicate items for a short time on a low heat no more killing woolen items!!
The ...

Hoover VHC 391T - not good!
Review of Hoover VHC 391 T by
kcoe
Advantages: Quiet, low energy consumption
Disadvantages: Unusable, as door latch disintegrates after a few hours.
...the new machine unsable.
Hoover sent out a repairman, who said the component hadn't been fitted properly when the machine was built, and who said that he'd not encountered the problem before. He refitted it and said that it should all be fine.
The same component has just collapsed again after four days of use. I should add that I'm the only person in the house who uses the machine, and I'm a careful user - i.e. I don't slam doors etc!
I am now ...

top condensor dryer for the money
Review of Hoover HNC180 by
daverobzippy
Advantages: no vent required.
Disadvantages: water tray at bottom of machine
Hi. We bought our hoover hnc180 from currys at the back end of last year for £220 . We own a indesit washer dryer however this has poor drying capabilities so needed an alternative drying machine for the winter months. The machine was ready to take away that day. On getting the machine home, unpacked , installed we set about the instructions. Very easy to use and with a great 8kg load capacity. The condensor function of this machine means no external ... ...to this is the water tray needs emptying after every few loads and the condensor needs washing out about once a week . along with cleaning the lint filter which is standard practice for almost every dryer. the water tray and condensor are easy to access although some machines have the water tray located where the soap drawer would be on a washing machine which would save having to bend down to the bottom of the machine. however this is a good piece ...

Excellent tumble dryer
Review of Hoover HHD 780 X by
Cromwell-
Advantages: Options, wide door, silent, userfriendly, capasity
Disadvantages: none so far
I have this dryer and I think this is fantastic. Plumbing was easy, cold water supply and wastepipe, piece of cake. Lots of options and timer, sensored drying, how dry you want the washing. Door is wide and finally a tumble dryer without a hole in a wall for condensation or finally no "not it is time to emply the water storage". Oh, and the filter is very easy to clean. Good light inside.
This is modern technoly in tumble dryers, you need that cold ... ...wastehose is one step further to userfriendliness. I assume the people who might have problems with electricy haven't connected this correctly. Of course electric will blow if the condenser is overheating, i.e. it has not been connected to cold water supply!

I like this dryer a lot
Review of Hoover HNC382T by
finndog
Advantages: Dries quickly
Disadvantages: Loud
I really bought this tumble dryer with very little information, there were no reviews on it, I could not see a model in the shop and only could see a picture on the internet. But as it had the large 8kg drum I required and I have owned a condenser dryer before, I decided that all tumble dryers were pretty much the same and ordered it anyway. If you have never owned a condenser dryer before and are wondering if they are worth the extra money, I do ... ...an open plan house with no easy way to vent a conventional dryer.
The first slight problem I had was when I came to use it, and then realised not all dryers were the same, and in fact I did not have a clue what to do. Having been used to trying to guess the time to dry and then the dial 'ticking' down, I was now presented with things like "bone dry, refresh, fast drying" and "fast iron", but after a quick look in the instruction manual (which is ...
