Andrew, Bridgwater , “Honest consumer valid opinions”

+ Small, easy to use, is more energy efficient than my last tumble drier. quicker to dry clothes.

- Major bad point it has no wheels on the bottom like my previous small tumble dryer had, this means don't purchase unless you intend to keep the tumble drier in the same place and never move. As this is meant to be a portable tumble dryer no wheels means it scratches the floor when you move it and a serious disadvantage I wouldn't of bought if I could see from the picture on the website this. Also noisy, more noise than than my previous one and at times makes strange clunky noise this is part of the cycle though not a fault. Plus the hose is quite flimsy and I don't think it will be long before it breaks!

Pam, Wellington

+ Easy to use.
Fits on work top, beside sink in utility room.
Large opening to put clothes in and out.
Filter easy to clean.

- Light stays on all the time, even when cycle is finished. Have to switch off at the wall.
Fluff doesn't just get caught on filter, but round the edge of the door.

Frank, Newport Pagnell

+ compact and simple to use, looks good.

- the vent fixing onto the dryer door is too flimsy, causing it to fall off if the hose is extended. A tighter fixing would be useful, albeit not essential.

- Vent hose is fixed to door which is rather cumbersome . Not particularly economical to run but all small units seem to suffer from this.

+ Perfect for a small space. Outside venting pipe included. Ideal if you tend not to dry everything in a tumble drier. 2 heat settings are perfectly adequate. Ideal for my needs. Am very happy with it's performance.

- Only takes a small load, as advertised. Only use it to finish towels or heavy on electricity.

Anna, Norwich

+ Easy to use. Small and compact but drys a full load of washing. Can be moved around easily so can be stored in a cupboard when not in use. Would highly recommend this model.

- A little bit noisy.
Most annoying thing would have to be the hose falls out quite easily even when its not stretched. Its a liveable problem though.

Kath, Leeds

+ Easy to use, compact therefore ideal where limited space is an issue. Front vent great for those who don't have anywhere to plumb a dryer in, easily mobile. Great drying capabilities without creasing: this was recommended to me by my brother and I have since bought one for myself and one for my daughter. I previously had a full size dryer but when that broke down hubby wanted a dishwasher too and since we didn't have room for both full size appliances we invested in the compact dryer. We are all very happy with our dryers.

- Electric cable could be longer to allow for greater mobility - not everyone has a power point near a window for the hose or a plumbed in point as we have. This is a minor fault that could be easily fixed and in no way detracts from the overall good quality of the product.
