Score 10.0/10+ this is the second hotpoint tumble dryer we have had and the first one served us very well for eight years . we bought this one for the reliability and would recommend this item to friends and family.
- as with most tumble dryers the heater elements tend to get fluffed up after a while and this cause's the machine to run luke warm [safety feature] but once cleaned by an engineer/ electrition its back to normal working conditions again.

Very little noise. Excellent when considering the price
Dries items extremely fast; therefore shorter time setting
- Had to turn drier sideways to door to get it in but because of large protrusion at the back of the drier, had to remove the door to actually get it in. Printed measurements did not appear to take this rear protrusion into account
