Space saving and time saving
5/5
The winter weather combined with a potty-training toddler has caused quite a backlog in the laundry basket. We haven't had a tumble dryer before as we are limited on space. I was pleasantly surprised to find a small, condenser-style dryer with 7kg capacity! The dryer fits perfectly into the small gap we have, with just enough space for the required clearances. It is designed to be a built-in appliance, however, it looks absolutely fine without a cupboard door Infront of it. I'm able to run two loads of laundry per day, when typically I'd only be able to get two loads fully dry over the space of a week (with the use of airers, central heating and dehumidifiers).
The water collection tank design is common-sense and excellent: grip the handle on the inside of the door, lift gently, tip out down the sink and pop back in a jiffy. The fluff filter in the doorwell can be cleaned and replaced in seconds; the filter behind the bottom panel takes only a minute to take care of and put back.
I've found myself mostly switching between the eco-cotton and sports programmes for our regular laundry; with the whites programme handling towels. I've found that garments with pockets and the little one's trousers with elastic waistbands need to either spend some time on the radiator for the extra layers, or use the 30 minute program to finish them off.
I have not attempted to use the wifi controls, as I don't personally see any good reason for connecting a kitchen appliance to the internet.
My only complaint is aimed at the provided instructions. They were stapled in the wrong order and are more concerned about fitting the dryer into a cupboard than operating it. All details about what the different programs do and what the symbols mean are all on different pages, so a lot of flicking about as you get used to the settings. If someone over at Candy could take a bit of time to give the instructions some TLC, that would be excellent.
