Raymond, Tadworth Frequent user

Score 9.0/10

Good points:: Very reliable machine.
Negligible operating noise does not interfere with normal talking.
Emptying the water container and cleaning the filter could not have been made any easer.
I use the machine on average twice a week, it operates as efficiently as the day I bourght it, certainly better than any other machine I have owned previously.
I certainly recommend it without hesitation to any one who contemplates buying a new tumble condenser dryer.
I thank and congratulate BEKO for such an excellent appliance at such a relatively very reasonable price.
Bad points:: Irreproachable, just cannot find any bad points to report.

Ian, Southsea Frequent user

Score 9.0/10

Good points:: Takes a large load. The light inside drum is a good feature. The noise level is lower than with our previous Hotpoint though in fairness we had that for 11 years and it never let us down in all of that time. This has a solid construction and a good range of drying cycles.
Bad points:: Not really a bad point but the fluff filter feels a bit flimsy when you open it to clean - could be made a bit sturdier in my view.

Marion, Grimsby

Score 9.0/10

Good points:: I thought this dryer was value for money and easy to use.
Bad points:: The pre-set drying times are not always long enough and clothes are not quite dry. It is however easy to simply put them back in and dry them for for a further few minutes or so until they are completely dry.

Product Features

Type of dryer	Condenser
Vented dryers have a hose which transfers the waste, damp air out of the machine and through a hole in the wall or a window to the outside. They are less expensive than condenser machines but the hose means they need to be placed by an outside wall. Condenser machines collect the excess water within the machine which can then be emptied after use. They therefore do not need a hose and can be placed anywhere in the house.
Energy efficiency	B
The more efficient the product, the less energy it needs and the more you get for your money. ‘A’ rated products are the most efficient and ‘G’ rated products are the least efficient.
Drum size (Kilograms)	8

Construction	Freestanding
Built-in machines have a cabinet door attached to the front of them so that they look like the rest of your kitchen. Freestanding machines can be seen and the machine can be placed in any position in your kitchen.
Type of loading	Front loading
This refers to where you can load the washing into the machine. Front loading is when the door is on the front of the machine and top loading is when you put washing in through an opening at the top of the machine. When purchasing a top loading machine, make sure you have enough room to open the hatch (top loading machines cannot be placed under a worktop). When looking for front loading machines, take note of which way the door opens so that you can make sure you have enough room to take washing in and out of the machine.
Type of drying control	Sensor

Start delay option	Yes
Enables you to delay the start of the cycle. This is useful if you want to set the machine to go on during the night so that you can take advantage of cheaper electricity rates.
Energy Savings Trust feature	No
A Yes means this this product has been rated as being energy-efficient by the Energy Savings Trust. Good for the environment and good for your electricity bill!
