+ Great that it's integrated and has a sensor for telling you when things are cupboard dry (most people over dry clothes). I couldn't find another integrated dryer on the market that had a sensor for this price range.

- Doesn't have optional beep when cycle complete

Score 8.0/10

+ All round generally a very good value for money product.

- This is an inegrated vented tumble dryer. I cannot believe that the re-set button (which has to be pressed in the case of overheating) is situated at the back of the machine. Once completely installed, ie. with floor plinth in place and granite worktops I think it will be impossible to pull dryer forward to reach re-set button. Surely it could be loacted on the front somewhere?

+ Cheap

- Dont like the anti-crease function, and no way of turning it off.
Cant get used to the settings - have experimented with all the drying times, and only one of any use is number 1.

Keri, Welwyn , “work from home mum”

Score 9.0/10

+ Very quiet, large drum, easy to use - no need to read instructions - very good value for money.

- Unable to set a time for drying, you have to use a programme and I don't know how long each programme is. What I want to do it set it for 40 minutes for example but I have to go through and work out the best programme, might take a while!

+ sensor drying, price, seems to dry quite quickly

- Doesn't beep when cycle is finished and keeps drying until you open door periodically, which if you put it on overnight could mean it keeps going all night periodically for short bursts.

+ I like the product and it is really easy to use looks good.

- One slight annoying factor is that you can't set a time for drying it just keeps going until you open the door.

+ An integrated tumble drier - there are not many of them out there.

- So noisy that at first I thought it was broken. I mean great clanking noises, not the usual tumble drier noise. And it has sensors that are supposed to detect how dry the load is, but they are useless, it takes forever to dry things like towels. I could do them in my old tumble drier in 50 mins, but this one takes well over two hours. I wish I'd never bought it, save your money.

Score 5.0/10

+ - Relatively easy to use
- good price

- - It is relatively noisy.
- When a cycle is finished, the drum keeps rotating every 5 min so the items don't get wrinkled. It will stop when you open the door. But this uses up electricity and there is no way to over ride it.
- The body of the unit was dented when picked up for delivery by the vendor. So I presume it is not very sturdy.
