Good dryer let down by noise
4/5
We don't have a utility room and we need to have a dryer in our kitchen, so we were looking for a quiet dryer. Going off the previous reviews we could see comments such as "very quiet" and "runs almost silently". Don't believe it. This machine is not quiet by my standards, and I'm not talking about the noise from the washing tumbling inside it. There is noise from the drum revolving and noise from the fan circulating the air around the drum. There also seems to be a low frequency rumble that transmits through the house. Because the dryer seems good in other respects e.g. power consumption, capacity, ease of use etc, we have decided to keep it. Some of the controls and settings could do with better explanation in the manual. Overall, a good dryer, but we would have liked it quieter.
