Just stated using the tumble dryer, wasn't sure what to expect from a heat pump . We used the pipe enclosed to pump the water out into the drain rather than emptying the machine. It took a few goes to find the programme that completely dries the washing as most off the programs tend to leave it slughtly damp. Dont know how economical it is on the electric, hopefully it will be better than my last dryer. It is a very good looking machine

Bought this drier to replace an old condenser type. It''s got various drying programs and a manual option to set a timed dry, plus a delay button to start the dry overnight on the cheaper energy rate. Takes longer to dry than before, but is more energy efficient. Can''t say whether it''s cheaper or not to run until my bill arrives, but fingers crossed!
