Hotpoint TCD970A

+ Drying time is very quick compared to my old one. Bigger drum (7kg) a good choice. Digital so you know whats going on.

- A bit noisy. Apart from that nothing at all. Bargain.

+ very easy to use, good choice of programmes, display reminds you to empty condenser / clean filter etc. The child lock is a very handy feature.

- haven't found any as yet.

+ Good sensor for dryness level. Washing gets nice and dry. Easy to empty top level water bottle.

- Swapping door hinge side is more difficult than advertised.

+ The best thing about this dryer is that dryness level setting. You can choose cupboard dry, iron dry or hanger dry and when the selected dryness level is reached the cycle will stop rather keep going and wasting electricity.

- This machine is a little it techy and some people might find it a bit difficult to use, although the instructions are very clear and precise

+ delay feature. Condenser very effective.

- Porgramme selection does not always result in dry enough clothes.

+ This dryer is perfect for everything as it has so many features so you can put nearly everything in it. Its also much quicker than dryers i have had in the past, so I feel like i am saving energy. We have no heating in our kitchen and due to the delay timer we often set it to come on early morning so we can heat the kitchen with it too. Bonus! It was a reasonable price, a good make, its quick too.

- None, except maybe its a bit louder than we had hoped but we use dryer balls in it which bang about, and its not installed under any sort of work top, its just sat out in the kitchen.

+ Dryer is very good, not too bad noise wise but not silent by any means. Easy to use and has several programmes to choose from, I can recommend.

+ Easy to set up and use. Touch/open door is brilliant, large drum size, easy to load and empty. On screen instructions remind you when you've forgotten to clean the filter or empty the water container. Less noisey than my last tumble drier and no more steamed up kitchen windows.

- It's not small, but then you'd take that into account when purchasing.

+ Love the sensor so that it stops when dry regardless of predicted time. Very economical. Cant understand all the reports that said it was noisy - yes its not silent but definately not noisy.

- none - filter & water drum very easy to clean/empty when necessary.

+ EASY TO EMPTY WATER AND FLUFF

- NO MINI LOAD OPTION ON SOME OF THE SETTINGS

+ drys very quickly. much better than my old dryer. Selection of cycles fantastic. I would recommend it to a friend

- none really.

+ Easy to use, and maintain. Love the digital display screen.

- None

+ Very easy to use and clear instructions.
Sensor drying function makes life easier and seems to be very accurate.

- none yet

+ Easy to use

- not found any...yet

+ Over all an excellant commadity for the home

- none

+ good tumble dryer, senses when its dry, ive never had a condencer befor, but its great

- none yet

+ Performs as expected really. I've never owned a dryer before, so it's hard to tell if it's better or worse than the average. Looks pretty good though (as good as a dryer can look!)

- It's quite noisy, but then I do have it on a solid concrete floor in my garage. That probably doesn't help! Also, as I commented in the 'Good points' section, I've never owned a dryer before, so the noise level might be normal!

+ large and drys fast quiet compared to previous dryers

- mine is stacked on top of washingmachine so water drawer is a bit high.

+ The drying times for all clothes is much faster than our previous washer/dryer and the clothes come out feeling really soft and hardly creased. The only things you still have to iron are the likes of jeans, shirts etc.

- It's pretty noisy. Ours is upstairs and I suppose one of the reasons we can hear it is because of the vibrations through the floorboards but it is louder than I expected. Saying that it still doesn't detract from the overall quality of the dryer.

+ Set and forget is good - items come out nice and dry.
Much easier to empty the water chamber than on my lat condenser dryer.

- Yes, it's quite noisy.
Not that user friendly - programmes are on preset buttons, but you have to refer to the manual to know what the programmes will do, i.e. are they high heat/low heat, are they timer programmes or set and forget.

+ Big drum with a big door to get all the clothes in without too much trouble
easy to maintain the waste water sytem

- door feels a little weak

+ Quiet and efficient

+ This is my first ever condenser drier and its well worth paying the bit extra money for it. Having the water container at the top of the machine rather than the bottom as in older models also makes things a lot easier. It looks good and has a really big drum capacity. Bear in mind though, not to put too much in or the clothes will take a lot longer to dry.

- I didnt think the drying cycle for my synthetics would take quite so long. I have to put the machine on for 1 hour and 20 minutes to get the stuff properly dry. Also, the cupboard dry feature when you have it on automatic sensor drying doesnt leave my clothes or bedding as dry as I would like. I always have to put them in again for another 10 to twenty minutes.

+ as it is a condenser you dont have to worry about condensation, its large drum means i can get alot more dried in fewer cycles, the bed and bath setting is good as it doesnt take as long to dry towels, and with certain settings it can stop a few times through the cycles and it alerts you when it has stopped incase you wish to remove certain items that should only be in for a short time, overall it is a great buy and i would purchase again

- Reviewer left no comment

+ Excellent - I wish I had its memory!

- Take time and effort to work out the many programms. I am sure I am not using it to the best of it ability

+ Dry sensor - the extra this machine costs will save us the money and more because ofthe sensor
7kg load to match the washing machine

- not a bad point

+ Good dry with lots of features and moving the water holder to the top makes it easier to empty

- none as yet!

+ Well designed and easy to use. Lots of features and cylcle programs to choose from. Good value for money

- none

+ Absolutally brilliant. Best thing we have ever bought. Put it on and leave it to do its thing. Excellent.

- Probably a little noisey but condenser dryers are, not sure if its any noisier than other condenser dryers but worth the noise!!

+ Looks great and performs really well, plenty of cycle chioces. Delay timer very good also.

- Reviewer left no comment

+ the big drum is ideal for a load,

- lint filter is to close to the dried clothes should be on outside of machine.

+ it is better than expected

- none so far

+ Good reliable Hotpoint, quiet, easy to set & forget, easy to clean filters. Does the job it supposed to do and would recommend

- The alarm doesn't go off til you open the door if you select post care phase as well, nothing major just annoying.

+ Looks good, coordinates with my other appliances.
Big drum size. Good options and settings.
Condenser unit so can fit anywhere as doesn't need hose.

- None found so far

+ good price, good brand

- it is very noisy

+ It looks good and has a lot of room in the dryer ease to use and the price was great too.

- None identified as yet.

+ easy to use. Good quality finish. Visually nice.

+ Large drum, dry's clothes quickley, looks good, as far as tumble dryers go!

- Noise

+ easy to use, not noisy, different settings

- Reviewer left no comment

+ Easy to use.

- Unfortunately, I've found that I need to use the cycle twice in order to obtain dry cottons. Kind of defeats the object of the sensor facility.

+ Big Drum, Load it and leave it.

- Noisy, sometimes clothes not fully dry.

+ Very few
Very few

- I hate this machine - after 40 years of using every imaginable appliance I simply cannot get to grips with operating this and find the instructions useless. Unless I get some real help from somewhere I am seriously considering abandoning it.

+ Very user freindly.

- None

+ Dont have to put a pipe out of the window due to it being a condensing dryer

- having to clean condensing unit often

+ Holds plenty, the cycle times are very quick and the visual display is very useful.

- None yet!!

+ Good drum size and well set out, easy to use display / buttons.

- Cool cotton option is only timed dry and does not have the option for auto sensing drying.

+ Product very easy to use and versatile , instruction manual very clear and useful . Emptying of condensed water from top of machine makes life so much easier than from the bottom .

- Very few if any , possible slightly noisey . Saying that recommend to anyone .

+ easy to use

- can't think of any

+ This is the best condenser dryer I could have wished for. It does not steam up the room it is in, it is easy to use, quiet, looks great - I cannot fault it.

- None - it is perfect

+ the water container being at the top of the machine, the easy use of it

- the fluff container at the bottom of the machine needs to come apart more to clean

+ Stylish and lots of different programmes. Have plumbed it into my drainage system so I don't even have to empty the water container.

- None.

+ Easy to use and looks good!

- None so far.

+ Very, very quiet. Sometimes the bleeper goes off at the end of the cycle and we go "what was that?" because we've forgotten it was on! Oh and it cleans well too. ;-)

- It doesn't always dry thoroughly. I've had to add a separate drying liquid, which I never had to do on my previous one. It also keep complaining about salt, even though we don't need it in this area and I've gone through the instructions on how to set for water hardness, so the light should go out.

+ LOTS OF PROGRAMMES, EASY TO USE, BIG DRUM

- Reviewer left no comment

+ You can adjust the drying time for items that don't require the full programme

- The water collection drawer could be a bit bigger

+ The filter is situated in a better place than the old dryer, so nothing gets passed it. ie no fibres escaping. My wife loves all of the programs on it. Tubing can be attached to the waste pipe put in for the washing machine so the water compartment is bypassed and never needs emptying. Wasn't a bad price for a condenser dryer.

- Not found one yet

+ It does the job

- Too many features, most of which I dont use

+ Once you get used to the settings it is very easy to use and has a large drum size which was important to me. Emptying the water bottle is very simple to do and the machine reminds you to do this every time.

- My last dryer was possibly more straightforward to use, but once you get used to the different settings it is very simple to use.

+ QUITE WHEN IN MOTION

- DOSENT DRY AS GOOD AS OUR OLD ONE DID

+ Clear display, and instruction

- A bit noiser than i thought it would be

+ you can place this product anywhere you want as it doesn't require any ventilation points or hoses.

- cool heat setting doesn't seem as efficient as the previous model and takes a lot longer to dry things

+ Stops when clothes dry.

- Very loud

+ It is simple to use and tells you how much longer drying time is left

- having to empty the water.

+ Good range of programmes, option to prevent creasing, fast drying time, stylish, plenty of onscreen information on how the drying is going. Easy to empty water and clean filter

- Somewhat noisy. Buttons on my unit tend to be 'sticky' (from new) but not bad enough to make me want to fix it. :-)

+ the machine is just reight for our needs,easy to use,easy to clean and empty water tank.

- it makes a bit of a noise.

+ Good purchase - very pleased with it - easy to use - plenty of features and it looks nice!

- A tad noisier than I would have expected

+ Looks stylish, great features like sensor drying.

- Noise level is a bit louder than my last dryer, but it is bareable.

+ Looks good - other matching products available. Good cycles - easy to use with a clear display. Reminders to empty water bottle, clean filter etc.

- A bit noisy, but probably no more so than any other dryer.

+ clear and easy to use

- noisy wouldnt b able to use it at night as cant get away from noise, kinda typical with tumble dryer though.

+ The dryer is simple to use and has a large drum size.

- Nothing to speak of.

+ it has lots of different spin options depending on the load which is useful.

- when machine is full the spin cycles are not always long enough to completely dry the load.

+ it's very quiet! The drum is a good size and takes a lot of clothes with ease. The timer is a good feature that means it only works until the clothes dry so it doesn't use electricity unnecessarily

- Really can't think of any

+ Good size drum. Dries clothes quickly. Excellent drier.

- Don't like the way the door closes as you have to push it to close it.

+ Everything. It looks smart, it's no more noisy than any other tumble drier and it does what it's supposed to without destroying all the woolies too! The sensor dry is tops! For those who complained about the door opening too easily, it's a press and open door. If you don't want the door opening...don't lean on the door...'simples'!

- I've had it over 6 months and haven't found one yet. Brill buy imo

+ Really good dryer. Condensor ensures no condensation. Sensor excellent

- Quite noisy

+ Fits in with other Hotpoint products

- Noise of drum spinning
