Tom , Brighton

+ Wonderfully accurate settings, if you want if bone dry or slightly damp thats what you get.

- A little noisy, and the delay settings are at 6 or 9 hours rather than giving complete flexibility. So you can't set it during the morning for a night (econony 7) run.

+ Great product, quick drying time with minimal ironing when its finished is always a plus !

- Just a very minor niggle as it only has two choices for delayed drying ie 6 or 9 hours. So if you are making use of night rates, you have to time your drying well !

Anonymous verified purchaser , “Fortysomething working professional”

+ Large drum capacity. Easy to clean filter. Easy to follow instructions. Best used on the electronic settings rather than choosing your own drying times. Ours lives in outbuilding so don't have to worry about the noise.

- Haven't come across any yet! You do need to play around with the settings to know what "cupboard dry", "iron dry" etc mean in terms of dryness of clothes.

+ Does what it says on the tin!! Wanted a condensor dryer and that's exactly what I got.

- Instructions very basic so trial and error on timings. Has a synthetic button but until I tried it a few times wasn't sure what it's purpose was.

Anonymous verified purchaser , “Busy mum”

+ Has a huge drying capacity & washing comes out crease free. Easy to use, to empty water reservoir & clean fluff filters. Way better than our old dryer (which was vented) - great not to have big pipe trailing through window any more!! Would recommend.

- Slightly slower drying cycle than with my old vented dryer, but that's probably due to it taking double the load size. Not really a 'bad' point as such.

Peter, Kinloss Scotland , “Family 2 young kids.”

+ It was a good price and had lots of features and was a brand with a good pedigree. I read previous review before hand and having had it now for a month could not agree more with their assessment.

- Lint filter could be better, it leaves some lint on clothes due to the fact you drag clothes out of the dryer over the lint filter itself. Previous units I have had are in the door.
