Am not sure if it’s because I invested in a more modern dryer generally or it’s this dryer specifically - but it’s been a game changer! I now love doing the laundry! I replaced an old banger (which was only 6 years old but very basic) that took at least 2hrs to dry a load. This dryer dries a load in basically 1hr to 1hr 10min! This is the same time as my washing machine so it’s all in sync now which makes laundry a breeze. Only negative is that the sensor really doesn’t work that well as laundry will always be slightly damp no matter what cycle you put it on (but cycle is really quick, 40-50min). I just put on for another 10 or 20 min & then it’s fully dry. That extra time is still within the hour/hour 10min so really great. The fact you can do your own timed load as well is a really handy feature, as I noticed so models didn’t have this. It’s much quieter than our old dryer too, which is great. I have noticed a slight fan/buzzing noise occasionally, but it’s only for short periods so assume all part of the system (cross fingers!). Basically, I love it!
