+ Reliable make. Large drum. Easy to use. Not equipped with sensor, so washing is reliably dried without needing intervention. No power consumption after cycle ends (unlike sensor models).

+ Very quiet, easy to use and doesn't take very long to dry

- None really, but took me a while to understand how long to set it for to dry different types of loads. Could give more guidance on this in the literature.

+ It does exactly what it says it should do.

- The provision of a manual switch, rather than the door operating the on/off is a step backwards.

+ Its easy to use even for my husband

- But the (low heat )high heat ) button can be altered by accident and if you forget to check you find clothes still wet at the end of the cycle not very energy efficent plus very annoying and expensive

+ DRYER SEEMS TO COPE WITH ALL FABRICS.

- THE LINT CATCHER IS AWKWARD - ALOT OF THE FLUFF GETS PULLED OFF WHEN THE PART IS BEING PULLED OUT AND THEREFORE, I HAVE TO GET A TORCH, TWO SKEWERS AND ALOT OF PATIENCE!! I HAVE TO CHOPSTICK THE EXTRA FLUFF OUT OF THE CAVITY IN ORDER THE AIR FLOW IS NOT COMPROMISED.

I find this machine very quite and overall a very nice looking machine. Great all rounder !!!

Product Features

Type of Dryer	Vented
Vented dryers have a hose which transfers the waste, damp air out of the machine and through a hole in the wall or a window to the outside. They are less expensive than condenser machines but the hose means they need to be placed by an outside wall. Condenser machines collect the excess water within the machine which can then be emptied after use. They therefore do not need a hose and can be placed anywhere in the house.
Energy Efficiency	C
The more efficient the product, the less energy it needs and the more you get for your money. ‘A’ rated products are the most efficient and ‘G’ rated products are the least efficient. The most efficient products can now be identified by new ‘A’ and ‘A*’ ratings.
Drum size (kg)	6
Child-Lock	No
A mechanism that makes it difficult for children to open the machine during operation.
Start Delay Option	No
Enables you to delay the start of the cycle. This is useful if you want to set the machine to go on during the night so that you can take advantage of cheaper electricity rates.
Energy Savings Trust Feature	No
A Yes means this this product has been rated as being energy-efficient by the Energy Savings Trust. Good for the environment and good for your electricity bill!
Drying Efficiency	C
Measures how efficient the machine is at drying. ‘A’ rated products are the most efficient and ‘G’ rated products are the least efficient.
Height in cm	85
The distance from the very top of the product to the very bottom.
Width in cm	59.5
Depth in cm	56.2

Type of Loading	Front Loading
This refers to where you can load the washing into the machine. Front loading is when the door is on the front of the machine and top loading is when you put washing in through an opening at the top of the machine. When purchasing a top loading machine, make sure you have enough room to open the hatch (top loading machines cannot be placed under a worktop). When looking for front loading machines, take note of which way the door opens so that you can make sure you have enough room to take washing in and out of the machine.
Colour	Silver
The main colour of the product.
Noise Level in Decibels	69
Measures how loud the machine is. For quieter machines, look for models with a noise level under 60 decibles.
Construction	Freestanding
Built-in machines have a cabinet door attached to the front of them so that they look like the rest of your kitchen. Freestanding machines can be seen and the machine can be placed in any position in your kitchen.
Display of Remaining Time	No
Tells you how long there is left until the end of the cycle.
Half-Load	No
When washing only a few items, the half-load feature uses less water which will save time, energy and of course water.
Release Date	22 Apr 2008
The date the product was originally made available for purchase.
Energy Consumption in kWh (60° C)	3.41

Cost Per Cycle in Pounds	£0.42
How much money your machine will cost you per wash.
Cost Per Year in Pounds	£61.87
How much money your machine will cost to operate per year, based on the UK average usage of 274 6kg wash-cycles per year.
kg CO2 per year	217.01
The amount of carbon dioxide your machine will produce per year.
