The White Knight to the rescue on those wet summer days

Advantages: User friendly, light weight and good load capability
Disadvantages: C rated so not he most economical

...As most people in Britain own a washing machine, many, like me, probably struggle to get there washing dry, especially with the glorious sunshine and top quality weather that is constantly warming our cheery faces, (that was sarcasm by the way), so the invention of the clothes/tumble dryer was a god send. So when my old dryer suddenly decided to stop blowing hot air, whilst also gaining a sort of stutter, I decided to go on the hunt for another similar one, coming across a brand called White Knight. But, to add to my confusion, I discovered that there are several types of dryers, such as spin dryers, which simply spin the clothes inside so fast that they eventually dry. Then there?s the condenser dryer, which passes warm air through the clothes and turns the heated air into water vapour sending the vapour into a storage hold, thus...

The White Knight Dryer Experiance

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 it is a compact dryer. It rotates both ways 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!...

Review of White Knight 38AW

White Knight in shining armour!

Advantages: Compact and quick!
Disadvantages: Can be expensive if used in excess

...I've had my white knight for about 13 months now and was looking for a small tumble dryer that would fit in the cupboard under my stairs which this does perfectly. I paid £99 and it is was money well spent. The tumble dryer is very compact & comes with a hose which needs to be ventilated. However if you buy a condenser box (about £15) from B & Q you can use this tumble dryer pretty much anywhere. The condenser box once filled with ice cold water will trap the hot air & stop your house becoming steamy. I really didn't want to have to start drilling holes or hanging the hose out of the window so bought the above and it has worked really well. Being a small tumble dryer it will not hold an incredible amount however I've put 2 bath sheets in there with no problems. I use it for mainly cotton bedding, socks etc & have dried a king...

White Knight 37AW Best of British

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 of course, for putting your laundry in! User access 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...

Review of White Knight 37AW

White Knight 447 - great value for money

Advantages: Easy to use, value for money
Disadvantages: needs venting, very noisy

...I must admit that I chose the White Knight 447 because it was the cheapest dryer with a 6k load on the market. I have to say that I've been pleasantly surprised! Being a 6k drying load dryer it is quite bulky - 85H, 60W, and 53D (in centimetres) - but no more so than other dryers with the same capacity. It has a 140 minute timer with the last 10 minutes of drying time being cool, and two heat settings - warm and hot. Be warned though that the hot setting can get VERY hot if the clothes get too dry, which results in creased clothes. Being a vented dryer a vent hose is supplied but if you wish to use a condenser box - like I do - it is liable to split. My hose is held together in places by duck tape, so perhaps it could have been made a little longer. I've had my dryer for nearly 2 years and it's still going strong. It's low...

  MY "WHITE KNIGHT" IN SHINING ARMOUR

Advantages: great value for money nice & compact
Disadvantages: none

...WHITE KNIGHT CL382 TUMBLE DRYER Living in a flat with 5 people I soon began to get very fed up with clothes horses everywhere and radiators blasting all day everyday I decided that the time was right to get a tumble dryer. Space in the kitchen is non existent so the unit would have to go into the front room which meant we needed a tumble dryer which would be quiet and compact so that we would barely notice it. So just before Christmas we started our search and after a recommendation from a friend we went for the White Knight CL382 which just happened to be within our budget = WHO ARE WHITE KNIGHT? White Knight is a brand manufactured by Crosslee plc. Crosslee plc was formed in 1986 after Philips' Halifax factory was sold to a management team headed by David Ross and Derek...

White Knight in shining armour?!

Advantages: Practical and highly efficient
Disadvantages: looks slightly disappointing

...I've owned my Dryer for about three months now and i've been pleasantly suprised with its peformance after a slightly disappointing appearance. I was really excited about receiving my new 'machine' (sad I know) and was quite disappointed when it looked relatively simple, no new gadgets or buttons, there really wasn't even a need for an instruction manual. I suppose in today's age we expect things to be unnecessarliy complicated with extra technological gadgets, it's what you get used to and in reality when a new product breaks these expectations it causes onnecessary disappointment - I say unnecessary as really this has turned to an advantage, it is easy to use for all family members wiothout any understanding - something I feel is very rare these days! It has prooved itself as a firm family member, with two teenagers in the house there...

Review of White Knight Gas Tumble Dryer BG431

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...

Review of Creda T622CW Condenser Dryer

Terribly Noisy Tumble Dryer

Advantages: 6KG Load, dries well, reversible door.
Disadvantages: The noise

...Living in a flat, and with the British weather the way it is, a Tumble Dryer is a necessity. I'd owned a White Knight Compact dryer for a year or two, it served me well. The only problem with "Compact" dryers though is they don't dry larger items very well: sheets, bedding and the like. Fed up with having these items hanging around, I decided to trade in my compact dryer and buy a "Full size" dryer. There are many to choose from these days, prices start as little as £119 for a basic "Uni-directional" model, up to many hundreds of pounds for more sophisticated models with delay starts and condensing units. My basic priorities were a large load size and "Reverse Tumble Action". "Uni-directional" machines only tumble in one direction, "Reverse Tumble Action" machines tumble in both directions, like a washing machine! Reverse...
