- Filter deisgn is stupid - if you don't clean the filter BEFORE removing dry garments, then the filter fluff is distributed all over your nice clean clothing!

+ Three vent positions. Reverse action. Flat worktop. Delicate setting.

- Non removable filter that is flush with drum, so unless all the fluff is removed before clothes are removed, the fluff goes all over the clothes as it is removed from drum.

+ The tumble drier was easy to install with various hose outlets to choose from. It is fairly quiet when running and had a decent drum size.

- The controls are slightly confusing with two sets of times but they are color coded depending on whether you want standard or delicate cycles. You need to choose the right one!

+ Price, build quality, the dust filter - easy to clean every time.

- Central vent, no hose recess so machine can't go tight up to wall - hence doesn't fit into space of old one.

+ This make of tumble dryer is reliable, having purchased Zanussi previously. Zanussi are the only manufacturers which offer 3 areas for venting, given that I needed it on the left side. It offered good energy consumption (C) rating.

- I'm finding drying times are double that of previous (G) rated Zanussi when drying same items. Not sure about reverse tumble action. Doesn't seem to be frequent enough.

+ Easy to use - nice looking machine. Does the job it was purchased for. Clothes are easily ironed after
being tumble dryed.

- Worst point is the 'fluff collector' which is at the front of the machine. If you forget to clear it before emptying the dryer it goes all over the clothes. Occasionally something small like a sock comes to the front of the dryer and again is covered in fluff.

- You have to remember to defluff before removing the clothers but at the same time nothing can get caught in the venting system. I forgot to remove collar stiffeners in a previous machine and was only able to retreive them when we took the old machine out.

Kay , south queensferry , “very honest”

Score 10.0/10

+ It's a great machine. Value for money fairly quiet and clothes come out with no creases.
Occassionally forget to de-fluff before taking clothes out but that's more my problem than the machines because instructions do tell you to do this

- Ventillating hose is very cheap. and could do with being a good bit longer to fit in my outside vent space. In fact, wish I had kept my old hose it was much more robust and the right length.
