Creda T520VW tumble dryer

Advantages: Easy to use, looks good, wont break the bank
Disadvantages: none

...The T520 VW is a great tumble dryer. It is incredibly easy to use, with only one button and one "clock like" dial. The single button is used to select low or high heat.....and the rotating "clock like" dial to select the time desired for drying. ( Time goes from 0 to 120 mins). It is quiet, and has a reasonably large capacity and also boasts an "anti-tangle"claim. The white plastic fascia near the top of the dryer that houses the button and dial hasn't appeared to have discoloured over time....(unlike our washing machine which we've had for the same amount of time), and with the word "simplicity" embellished next to the creda logo, it really does sum up this item for itself. Simple to use, reasonably modern looking, won't discolour, and would easily fit into anyones kitchen or utility room or anywhere around the house for that matter...

Review of Creda T520VW Vented Dryers

FANCY A QUICK TUMBLE...

Advantages: No need for a vent. Dries laundry well and has a sensor.
Disadvantages: Generates a lot of heat. Not the most compact model in the world.

...? Alun looked on the Which web-site and then checked the internet for a suitable (and reasonably priced) dryer. We settled on a Creda T632CW Condenser Dryer, which we got from unbeatable.com. It cost us £214 plus £29.95 delivery ~ even though this was quite a lot for delivery it still worked out as a good deal because the dryer was considerably cheaper than elsewhere. We decided on a condenser dryer because we weren?t sure where we going to place it and our wall space for an external vent in the kitchen was limited. ~~How big is it? It?s quite large (bigger than our washing machine) so bear this in mind when buying it ~ it?s not slimline by any stretch of the imagination! Its vital statistics are 850mm (H) x 595mm (W) x 600mm (D) and it holds 6kg (13lb) of washing in its drum. In real terms this means I can fit in either a whole...

I'VE BEEN TUMBLED!!

Advantages: It dries wet washing!
Disadvantages: The reverse tumble doesn't work on everything

...First, let me say that this dryer was not my personal choice. Our last reverse tumble dryer was made by Service, and we had it for a few years before it died. Then we bought another dryer which was so unmemorable, I can?t for the life of me remember what it was. Anyway, that packed up 2 years ago but the cost of replacing it with another Service model was too expensive and anyway our local Hydro Board didn?t have any in stock. With our son and his wife coming to live with us temporarily, we were in urgent need! I turned my back for 5 minutes and my husband popped into our local Hydro Board and bought the Creda Simplicity Condenser Dryer. ♥ LOOKS It?s a smooth-looking operator. Slightly rounded front rather than a straight up and down cube. Height: 33.5? (770mm) Width: 23? (580mm) (The centimeters I got by...

Review of Creda Simplicity Vented

Creda T622CW Condenser Dryer.

Advantages: No hose to vent, warms up house!
Disadvantages: Noise, running cost.

...We were bought this tumble dryer as a moving in gift for our new house, finally having space to put a tumble dryer. We went for the condenser type because there is no need for a vent to the out side, which up here in the north west of Scotland is the last thing you want during a winter gale, believe me! OPERATION.. The controls for the dryer are easy to understand and operate, the timer is settable up to 120 mins and is clearly marked. The heat setting is a 'push in/out' type with two options, low or high. There is a light that comes on when you need to empty the water bottle, but more about that latter on. The instruction book is fairly good, but i didnt pay to much attention to it. INSTALLATION.. The dryer is quite heavy and i would advise you to sweet talk who ever delivers it to your home into getting it as close to...

Creda TCR14 Tumble Dryer Condenser

Advantages: Condenser , easy to clean and maintain. No vents required
Disadvantages: Water holder cover door can break easily,

...We purchased this tumble dryer about 2 years ago. It is used up to three times a day and has been a great tumble dryer. We do a lot of washing (4 kids) and wanted to use the dryer both over night and during the day. We didn't want to leave windows open for the vent, so we decided to purchase a more expensive condensing machine. It runs for upto 120 mins, with a final 'cool tumble' for 10 mins. This seems to help with the ironing. There are two heat setting, high and low. We tend to leave ours on 'high' all the time. There is an anti tangle feature which seems to work quite well, except with quilt covers... The filters are easily removed for cleaning. The water drum is located at the bottom behind a plastic removable cover. Our old washing machine was only a 1000 spin speed, so we had to empty the drum almost every tumble load. We...

My New Tumble Dryer Balls

Advantages: Cut down on drying time
Disadvantages: None

...the need to use a softener during washing. Dryer Balls tumble around with your clothing as it is drying, they lift and separate the clothes as they dry thus reduce the static build up and the little nodules on the balls massage the fibres of your clothing making them softer and fluffier. My Findings When I first opened the Dyer Balls and took them from the packet I was really quite surprised at how hard and solid they felt, I had imagined them to be soft, this made me very nervous at the thought of putting them in the dryer with my washing, I thought I might be opening up the dryer to find my washing all ripped up! Nevertheless I was intrigued to find out what these balls could do for my washing, so the first time I used them I decided to put them in with 3 pairs of jeans. Denim jeans I thought would stand up better to the dryer...

Can you credit this Creda?

Advantages: Looooong lasting and still doing the job
Disadvantages: Will not die and be replaced.!

...The 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.! As a loving father, I don't mind changing them and even soaking them and washing them.! But how do you get them dry in the depths of 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...

Review of Creda 37371

Tesco Bounce Out The Competition

Advantages: Does what it says on the tin. Almost a quarter of the price of the "named" brand.
Disadvantages: Nothing of any note. The box is not as robust as its more famous counterpart.

...down, and having limited my previous visits to Tesco to things of a generally edible nature, I wandered, ever so slightly dazed and confused, down the cleaning and laundry products aisle in search of ?tumble dryer sheets?. I eventually found what I was instructed to retrieve ? an attractive looking yellow box of ?Bounce Summer Breeze? ? but baulked when I saw the £3.37 price tag. I had a vague idea of what tumble dryer sheets were supposed to do (make your clothes smell nice at an educated guess) so when I spotted a plainer and slightly less loud blue box of Tesco ?Summer Fresh? Tumble Dryer Sheets next to it for the more reasonable and miserly sum of £0.94, common sense kicked in and I plumped for the "value" alternative. USE & PERFORMANCE This is simplicity itself. Just place a sheet in your tumble dryer with your wet wash...

Review of Tesco Tumble Dryer Sheets

Drying tonight and every night!

Advantages: Timer Control
Disadvantages: Sensor drying doesn't always work

...Having just moved house and had the trauma of ripping out a rundown kitchen, I decided to go a bit more high-tech than the old vent pipe out the window approach to tumble drying and buy a Condensor drier. My previous driers have always been Creda and I rated them very highly . There are two T632s available, one has sensor drying (ie it switches of when it thinks the load is dry) and manual. I chose the former as it is supposed to save energy, the only problem is that I open the door to find my clothing is still damp and not remotely wearable - dry to this machine doesn't equal dry to me! Unfortunately the sensor drying function cannot be switched off, there is no choice. On a plus side the machine does have a timer control which allows you to switch it on and choose between 1 and 8 hours ahead for it to actually start. This is...

Review of Creda T632CW Condenser Tumble Dryer

Make mine dry please.

Advantages: effective & quick, does not harm clothes, looks good & is power efficient
Disadvantages: Costs £160 & is noisy

...We bought this machine around 3 months back though I was reluctant in the start, it was mommy who insisted on buying one for the house. Initially the amount seemed like a pain in the a** but I slowly started to like the Creda Dryer. Looks good & is quite elegant with the metallic finish & the controls too make a long lasting impression on the onlooker . I would say it is much of a treat for the eye than for the pocket. But no harm since it does the job well for the purpose its lying in my house & as long as the electricity bills aren't a pain in the a** I guess this thing's gonna stay for quite some time with us. It dries the clothes well without damaging the fabric & it does not induce any external odour or bring about any change in the texture or colour or delicacy & it doesn't over dry it too. As you see overdrying clothes...
