+ Ease of use and energy efficiency when compared to old model.
If this proves to be as reliable as my old Whirlpool I will be impressed.

- Not as quite as I had hoped, only real gripe.

+ Condenser water tank has large capacity.

- Seems to take forever to dry items. Times are not what they state - i.e. put on for 60 minutes and the cycles lasts much longer!

+ this porduct is so much easier to work with than the previous Hotpoint I had, one point in particular is the fluff filter and water tank, this are so much easier to empty. The cycles are good and efficient and looks are standard. To sum this machine up if you want a all round good product that will be efficient, easy to use and can take a 8kg load then this is the product for you.

- I suppose this maybe a noisy dryer but seems same as the previous Hotpoint that I had, noise for me was not an issue as in garage.

+ Large drum size, excellent energy rating, good value for all the features you get.

- Only two small complaints, the first is that the anti-crease function cannot be turned off so the machine will continue to turn the clothes all night if you go to bed before the drying is finished (waste of energy). Also, the transparent window on the front heats up, not very child friendly.

- End of cycle buzzer option not very loud. How to use instructions very basic, I'm sure I haven't used the best program option yet.

Score 9.0/10

+ Main good points were the ease of emptying water container,fluff collector and filters.so much easier than my old creda that has just died.The six sense timer is brilliant and drys your clothes to a perfect temperature without scewing them all up, and you dont have to keep checking to see if they are getting too dry,it automatically stops.I would really recommend this to anyone without hesitation.

- cant think of any

- Sensor settings don't dry clothes. Overcome by using "Ready to Wear" or manual settings. Also does not switch off when cycle complete - will run all night!
