Tumble Dryers > by Type of Control

Advantages: Space Saving, Powerful and Reliable
Disadvantages: None

My first ever White Knight purchase and I have been very impressed. This compact dryer does an excellent job and is yet compact so need very little space. It has two heat settings and needs to be ventilated. I have this product for nearly two years now and never had any problems. An excellent product for the money paid, I would recommend this to everyone. Definately great value and very practical and reliable. The drum is quite a good size eventhough ...
...so less tangling and creasing of clothes. A cooling mode at the end to cool the clothes and bring to room temperature. Easy to clean fluff filter. Definate must-have. Especially useful for small households or for people with space constraints. An excellent product by White Knight! ... Read review

Advantages: Repairable, cheap, simple, British
Disadvantages: Drive belt breaks a lot

The White Knight 37 AW is a base model dryer, and is from their budget range. Costs vary when new, and mine was bought for £79. As a machine, it is very simple, and easy to repair when things go wrong, which is quite important for this apparatus! The front side of the machine is extremely simple, It has a timer - which doubles as a on / off switch and a temperature switch, with Hi / Lo settings. You can also find the load / unload door on the front ...
...to the inside through the door allows removal of the fluff filter. The rear of the machine has the exhaust output which can be directed via a pipe or to a condenser box. Its power input is at 240V, but it doesnt require that ammount, and will work sufficiently well on 24V (Will drain the source quickly). The machine is designed to hold a 3 Kg load, which isnt a great deal, certainly, if its overloaded, the drive belt will snap, this will also ... Read review

Advantages: Compact, dry's well, and is quiet, Cheap
Disadvantages: Really restrics load size, not a good option for families

White Knight have produced simple, yet reliable tumble dryers for many years. White Knight are owned by a company called Croslee plc, Croslee also own Royal Cozyfires. Overall Appearence = The look of the dryer is basic, but stylish the door has a nice curved handle and the control panel is well set out and easy to understand. Looking at the front of the dryer from left to right you have Timer dial ranging from 0 to 120 minutes ...
...lunatic in my opinion) further along you have a guide of drying times the cottons times are estimated on a load spun at 1000rpm and the synthetics times are estimated on a load spun at 800rpm Although I got a 3kg load spun at 1200 dry in 40 minutes, the dryer reccomends around 80-90 minutes to dry a 3kg cottons load to fully dry, so these times are not very accurate however spin performance varies from brand to brand. The 3kg load size is great ... Read review

Advantages: easy to use
Disadvantages: don't shove it in a cupboard

Well I must admit that there isn't much that can be said about a spin dryer! History of why we bought this spin dryer:- We first purchased a spinner about 12 years ago when we got married and didn't have a washing machine. It was invaluable but after a couple of months we got our washer and gave the spinner to my mom. She has hung onto it all this time and it's still running strong. It has had light use but is there for emergencies and as she is ...
...using her spinner again. We've had a few washing machines over the years and currently have a Hotpoint First Edition. A basic 800 spin speed which has had about 8 repairs in the last 4 years (luckily my husband, Adam can do the repairs!). So lately we have been debating whether or not to replace our washer as it is still looking good and working most of the time. So we decided to stick with it and when it is no longer repairable we will just replace ... Read review

Advantages: Compact, easy to use
Disadvantages: None, but may only be suitable for a small family.

Our first experience with a Tumble Dryer, was a freebie with the purchase of a washing machine. This served its purpose, but with the single direction rotation the contents rolled up and needed to be unravelled to dry properly, when the dryer failed we looked at the possibility of a reverse action dryer, we are now the proud owners of a CL382WV................. this has proven to be a boon, with the reverse action,the contents do not tangle, allowing ...
...in operation, and easy to use, it has an economy rating of category 'D' which I feel denies its capability, due to our limited kitchen space, the dryer is installed in the garage, for anyone wishing to use it indoors I would recommend investing in a vent hose. Could be the best on the market for the price, worth paying the extra for a reverse action. Thanks for reading, I hope it proves useful. ... Read review
