- Not quite as quiet a spin as reviews I read before I bought. It's not deafening but is quite intrusive. Good if you can tuck it away in a utility room.

+ Fairly quiet compared to previous dryer. Quick timers and different drying options are useful when ironing clothes afterwards anyway.

- having to empty water after each load, even if it doesnt say its full as it'll stop midway through the next cycle to be emptied. I'm new to condensers though so am sure it'lljust become habit eventually.

+ Good points are that cycle times are pretty short for the "average" wash. We've gone from our old washing machine cycle time of 2 1/2 hrs down to 1 1/2 so can't be bad. Seems to use less water too, and I think its using less energy as it is cold fill only. Also drum size is excellent if you do alot of washing.

- Slightly noisy due to fast spin speed, although worth it really as clothes come out pretty dry.
