John, Hayling Island

+ This is the third WH Knight tumble drier I have had. This is very similar to the last model in its simplicity. My previous machine lasted more than 10years. We do all of our drying in the tumble drier. It copes very well with a very full load from the washing machine.

+ It is not to noisy and drys my washing well. The filter is easy to use. The connection of the hose is easy, I use it via my cat flap whilst drying the washing.

- The hose connection is at the back of the machine. I have to pull the machine out to use it. But this is no difficulty and it is very easy to move.

+ Does what it says on the tin. Great price, decent load capacity, decent drying times, quiet and a small unit. If you're after a cheap non-condensing dryer then this is it, unless you need a greater load capacity.

- Small-ish load capacity, but if it's what you need then it not a problem.

- Obviously one could do with slightly more capacity, but you know this when you buy it. Have to be careful as to how much to load to avoid having to keep checking whether finished or not. Better drying things of similar size in one go.

+ I've thrown away the clothes line and the pegs! I love the White Knight Tumble Dryer! I had always seen a tumble dryer as an unnecessary luxury that would be expensive to run and not much cop. However, the White Knight is quiet, unobtrusive and dries clothing without any fuss. I really don't bother putting clothes on the line now. I love it and I don't have anything bad to say about it. The drum is suprisingly roomy for a small machine, and I can put quite a bit in it without there being a problem. It's great, I'd recommend this to anyone!
