This tumble dryer is a non venting type and as such helps retain the heat generated within the room it is installed in. Being located in the less than warm utility room, it helps keep the rest of the house cosy. A bonus and unintended benefit there then? Water vapour from the drying process is captured internal to the machine within a generously sized water collector tank. Two fluff filters are provided, one internal to the drum that is emptied after every session. The second filter is monitored by the tumble dryers' processor and indicates on the control panel when it should be cleaned which is a nice safety feature.
Operation wise, it is quieter than other models we had before, which can be distracting when they are on full power, even when the utility door is closed.
We had intended to buy a cheaper model that wasn't in stock and as the 'old' tumble dryer had just failed on us, we opted for this model. It was a good outcome as I think we will get much good use and additional house heating from this machine.
