Description
- Condenser Tumble Dryer – Condenser dryer machines separate water from the moist air inside the dryer into a container that needs to be emptied after drying. If you are not able to fit an external vent or not sited near a window then condenser dryers are more flexible.
- DELAY START – The Delay Start option gives you the option of choosing when to start your drying cycle, with the choice of 3, 6, or 9 hours delay, allowing your Hoover tumble dryer to work around your life.
- WATER CONTAINER POSITION – Bottom tank
- REAL CARE FOR DELICATES FABRICS – The most delicate fabrics, such as wool and cashmere, will keep their natural softness and brightness, thanks to the gentle and precise motion and sophisticated temperature management system provided by the appliance. Approved by Woolmark.

Very good tumble dryer. Doesn’t use much electricity and clothes are dry in no time.

Hoover HLEC9DGB H-Dry 300 9kg Condenser Tumble Dryer certainly does what you need it to do, after all it’s just for drying your clothes. The drum is big enough to fit quite a lot in when you need it because the weather is bad. The quality doesn’t match the Hoover washing machine that I have stood next to it though. The door doesn’t feel as though it will last long before it breaks and that’s a bit disappointing as it wasn’t the cheapest model on the market. I bought it to match the washing machine and in hindsight I wouldn’t buy another. The water bottle to empty is next to the floor behind a weak plastic cover so I wasn’t too pleased about the quality of that either. It is fit for purpose until these parts break, hence a 3 out of 5 stars.

Works well

This dryer is dreadful.
First: If you get your jollies off trying to run a piece of laudry equipment from your phone, maybe this will work for you (BTW: Update, the App will not work in my area). The panel is all digital (i.e., no raised buttons) and there is no clue as to when you have pressed a “button” or not (because it is designed to be run from a phone).
Second: The selections (as icons) for drying style make no sense at all. Look at the icon dial on the machine before you purchase this and see if it makes any sense at all to you. It doesn’t to me. Added to this there are two “buttons” that adjust each of the settings on the dial. These too make no sense. So, you have two series of icons that make no sense combined. You have no idea what the machine is trying to do.
Finally (and most importantly): It is functionally VERY bad. The water collection is in a tray at the bottom of the machine. And by “the bottom”, I literally mean it sits against the floor. Added to this, you have to remove a panel off the machine EVERY time you want to empty it. So, be prepared to “lift with your legs” when you do your laudry, with the inevitable spill over of the water collected as you try to get up with a large tray of water.
Added to this, it doesn’t dry anything properly at all. Put it on a cycle that seems to be dedicated to cottons, and you’ll be turning the machine on again 2-3 times to get them to dry. And OMG, don’t try to dry bed linen, it just can’t do it. A single duvet cover takes several goes to dry and it stops the first time when it has essentially warmed the water in the duvet.
I wish I hadn’t given this machine “a chance” and sent it back soon after I purchased it. Now, I’m stuck with a very expensive machine that takes an afternoon to dry a duvet cover. I really can’t begin to express how much I dislike all aspects of this machine.

Excellent to dry out clothes, cheap on electricity and rally does everything I need I give this a 10/10
Mrs S C Parkes –
The instructions are very unclear. Works OK, but not sure I’m using the most suitable programme each time.

I don’t like the colour (would have preferred silver or white) and I found the instructions very difficult to understand. The main gripe I have is that the water container is at the bottom of the dryer, under the condenser unit. Having osteoarthritis in my hips and knees means that I cannot bend down that far to empty the water container. My solution was to make a plinth for it to sit on, which I did. Having raised the dryer off the floor on 4″ x 4″ battens (screwed inside with 90 deg. angle brackets), I can just about manage to get my fingers underneath the dryer to pull out the water container. Not ideal but at least I’ve solved the problem. All I need to do now is figure out how to use which programme for different fabrics.

Replaced my old Hoover dryer, works very well and plenty of settings, easy to clean.
