Score 10.0/10+ Does exactly what you'd expect - dries clothes quickly! No frills, but who needs frilles with a tumble dryer. I don't know if it's noisy as I have mine in the garage. Lovely big drum to fit loads of washing in, and dries in half the time of my Hotpoint condenser washer-dryer.

Fletch, Gloucester , “Occasional user” More like this »
Score 8.0/10+ Really easy to use, I also have a Hotpoint 1600 spin washing machine so I only need to use the dryer on low heat setting for 1 hr at a time and even a full 7 kg load including towels are dry. The filter is very easy to remove and fit making cleaning a simple process after each cycle.
- If I had to find one it doesn't have lots of features. That said I only want it to dry my clothes not act as part time barman and discoteque!
