The best thing about this dryer is how quiet it is in comparison to other dryers I’ve had.
Once you choose desired drying setting you get a shock at how long it predicts it will take, although this number does usually reduce as it gets going.
I have never had a heat pump tumble dryer before, and I would say it takes a bit of getting used to, as it does take longer to dry clothes. The thing that annoys me most about it is running through clothes that have been on an airer and are almost dry but just need finishing off. This in my previous vented or condenser dryers would take 5-10 mins, but in this heat pump dryer seems to take a good 20-30mins, which is no good if you’re on your way out or in a hurry! If you do a lot of washing, as I do, I’m not sure this would be the dryer for you. I personally wish I had got another condenser of vented dryer.
Stats say heat pump dryers are about £1.00 less per cycle to run than vented and condenser dryers, so hopefully I will save some money on energy bills, although with it taking longer to dry clothes I doubt the saving will be anything like that.
