...model we have is the Creda Compact 37275 but when you hear the story, you will see why the 37371 is its nearest descendant. Reason for purchase ? The story begins in 1978 ! One tiny daughter is already causing disruption in our home, and her little sister is about to make her appearance on the world stage in three weeks time. No-one has invented an alternative for terry nappies. There will soon be a dozen on the liine, morning, noon and night.! ...
...a Belfast winter.? A Creda tumble dryer was the answer. Appearance.? It was a Compact, so takes up little room - it was advertised as being suitable to hang on a wall ! - or, as we preferred - to sit on a worktop. It was pure white enamle - this was long before manufacturers of white goods made colour an option.! It did not need to be plumbed in or even have a vent pipe for extraction - that was an optional extra we never needed. Functions ... Read review

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Too many too put here

...the drum broke so I gave up and just took it to the skip. I recently purchased a Hoover TV630 which is a sight better that the creda ever was. (SORRY INCORRECT INFO ABOVE HOOVER TV630 BROKE AFTER 2 MONTH) I MUST BE CURSED WITH TUMBLE DRYERS ... 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 ...

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
