This is my 2nd one of these, only because my other lasted nearly 9 years before it packed up. This is a great model,its had a few little tweeks since my last one, all better ones i may add. Plenty of drum space. Lots of programs to choose from. It's very fast at drying the items too.
The filter is simple to clean. The condensing unit is easy to remove to flush out any fibres. The water collection container is a doddle to slip out of the unit and empty. Added bonus being is there are indication lights the show when you need to do each of these processes. I personally don't wait for them to light up to tell me, but, it's a good feature to have if you forget to do the cleaning and emptying. This have WiFi connectivity so you can link it to a phone via a downloaded app. Handy if you put a load in and go out,so you can get notifications ,or indeed turn it on or off, should you wish to do so .
I would recommend buying this appliance. 5 stars all round for looks, drum size,programs and ease of use and maintenance.
