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: 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: 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: 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
