Well Blow Me Dry
Review of Zanussi-Electrolux SD2811W by
AimeeLouise18
Advantages: saves drying time and is cheaper than a tumble dryer
Disadvantages: electricity costs
This is an unusual op for me as I am 18 (nearly 19)years old and I cannot yet cook,wash or iron for myself.Lately I have decided it's about time I grew up a little bit and started to learn to do things for myself and one of the things I am learning to do is wash.I've been watching my mother do it for now and I've noticed that as well as a tumble dryer she has a spin dryer.I didn't really know why she had both but apparently the spin dryer is cheaper.
... ...the word Zanussi written in black towards the bottom of the product.It is a cylinder shape and has a little spout about 6/7 inches from the bottom of the product positioned in the middle.It has a plug attached and as far as I know it came already assembled.
The lid has like a white long handle that you pull up a little and move to the side to open the lid.Inside you should find a metal cylinder (pretty large) where you will put your wet washing.It ...

suzted
Advantages: made by hotpoint??

...ever would i buy a hotpoint again, specially from the big shop named after a shooting star!! prior to the hotpoint i had some crappy cheap dryer, cant remember the make, but the poor thing went to the skip to be replaced by a totally unreliable hotpoint. very disappointed, my cheap dryer worked perfectly and never let me down once, ok it might not have looked as nice but it sure was a trusty dryer! ...

Leaky HHD780X ... and this is the second one!
Review of Hoover HHD 780 X by
El_Batsab
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!

great little good value for money machine
Review of Hotpoint V3D00 Aquarius by
lkmc01
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. ...

Zanussi Tumble Dryer: ZDE46130W
Review of Zanussi-Electrolux ZDC 46130 by
misseskimo
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 ...
