+ For all round general use it is the best.

- Cannot understand why the half size dryer I bought costs as much if not more than a full size dryer.

+ I only really use it to dry my baby's stuff...which it does brilliantly. Although it is compact, iI can get everything in it. It isnt that noisy, and it dries quite quickly. It lets you know when it is full of water, is easy to empty and is all round just what we needed!

+ I can hang it on a wall! Unbelievable - such a fantastic option.

- The controls are sited for wall hanging, so if you want the machine to be floor standing, it's a little awkward.

+ Condenser means that the dryer can be used in the middle of the kitchen without affecting the air and creating fluff on the kitchen floor.

- Difficult to maneouvre - no room to keep out in kitchen so wanted something I could store in the understairs cupboard, but it is really difficult to move into and out of there. Bought metal runners but these do not fit properly.

- Why is a dryer half the size still or in some cases more expensive then a normal 7kg dryer.

+ I needed a dryer to fit into a particular space and this is a really neat machine which will fit into any small kitchen or any other space in the house because it does not need an outside vent. I particularly like the fact that it can be wall hung which makes loading easier.

- Probably not too energy efficient as drying times can be quite long, although if, like me, your aim is to get stuff just dry enough to air or iron then it's not a problem.
