Stephen Wright –
Vented tumble dryers are not the most energy efficient these day, but the vent for our old one was already in place, and other types of dryer seemed to suffer with condensation issues so it made sense to stick with what we knew.
Also, it’s a shame that there seem to be fewer built-in options these days. I wonder why that is?
Anyway, although I’ve only had it a day I have used it four times already, so for what it’s worth, this is what I have found:
1) Not particularly energy efficient, but it is a vented tumble dryer, so never going to be the most energy efficient out there. We can live with that.
2) Not very easy at first glance to decipher the various settings. No ‘low, medium and high’ here. We have many confusing options such as ‘Small’ ‘XXL’ ‘Mix & Dry’ ‘One Touch’ ‘Sport Plus’ and so on….. (see pic)
I’m sure it will all make sense after studying the instructions for a year or two. I’ll come back to you on that one……….
3) On the plus side, it is a relatively compact machine, considering it is replacing a machine that was about the same physical size, yet it takes 10Kg of clothes, 2Kg more than our old one!
4) Another plus, it is much quieter than our old machine. I’m sure our neighbours three doors away will be much happier.
So, in summary, for a low priced machine with a fair few features, it is well worth considering. Once I get to grips with the menu options, I’m sure I will settle on two or three regularly used settings. We have yet to try the app, but doubt that we will be using it much, if at all.
Would I buy it again? Yes! Very pleased so far.
Also, the seller, Crampton And Moore, were most efficient. Their delivery estimate was spot on, and their driver phoned me twenty minutes before delivery so we were all psyched up and ready for when they arrived.
No issues whatsoever with the machine or the seller. Recommended!

This is for me definitely worth the money, you have lots of settings even a wool cycle, it’s quiet and easy to clean out after and has a large enough drum to dry a full wash load with ease. The downsides to this dryer are as such the one touch no longer works as you download the app to connect the dryer to be given a notification that it no longer works so that function is mute. The other downside is blankets and bedding yes the dryer will dry them nicely but you do have to shake them halfway through as they will ball up during the drying cycle, this isnt a deal breaker for me as it’s a small thing to have to do but it will dry everything nicely and leave your items lovely and soft. Apart from the two downsides mentioned I do love this dryer and have been using it everyday several times a day as I have kids and a dog so I do end up with more laundry than I would like. Cleaning out this dryer is so easy the lint catcher is large and simple to clean. For me this dryer has been worth the money I spent buying it.

Does what it says on the tin. Far noisier than my previous Zanussi and does not reverse tumble so large items such as duvet covers tend to ball up.
On screen menu not the easiest to comprehend and the actual drying times are far less than what is displayed on screen.
Great pity that vented dryers are getting scarcer as In my experience they are more efficient that the modern condenser dryers.

I have only had this tumble dryer a few days and have only used it twice so far. On both occasions I used the ‘Whites’ setting which enables the facility of setting the dryness level to it’s dryest possible setting, the first time I was a bit cautious and only filled it half full, the second time I put all that my 8kg capacity washing machine would hold(although i’m pretty sure it is much more than 8kgs) in it….The second time the load INCLUDED a bath sheet, 2 single duvet covers and 2 single fitted sheets and it dried them to bone dry without tangling them….the sensor dry function kicked in successfully on both occasions…the only thing which I would like to establish now is how long it took to dry them as I was not near it when it finished(it must have been much less than it’s estimated original time)….once I know the drying cycle time I will be able to experiment with other settings to see if there is one that will dry them quicker….btw the fluff filter only had 75% of the fluff on it that my previous tumble dryer used to have which I am thinking is a good thing as the mesh is finer….the noise level is not important to me because it is situated out in my garage but it does seem reasonably quiet, slightly quieter than my last dryer….overall I’m very pleased with it so far but I will come back and ammend this review if something happens to the contrary.
UPDATE: Although I have not actually seen it doing it(because it is situated out in my garage), I think it does reverse occasionally because I can hear it pause for a couple of seconds every now and again, which indicates to me that is what it is doing, I still have had no tangling issues. I have settled on only useing the ‘Whites’ setting with the shortest(2hrs 40mins) cycle time which always dries the washing perfectly well.
KQ –
The machine simply doesn’t work, it fails to dry anything properly no matter which programme we use and leaves larger items in a wet knot. It is supposed to do a back and forth motion to prevent tangles, but doesn’t and finally the start button is temperamental and requires multiple attempts to start. I will be seeking to return it.
