Tumble Driers? what one?

[CMAC]

Haven't had to buy one for 5 years and ours is used 4 times a day.............. It's decided it wants to retire and is making loud grumbling noises so I'm listening to it

Anyone up to date with a decent one that does what it's supposed to do..........quietly and efficiently?

 

[G1BB0]

depends really. I go through one every 2-3 years with 3 kids in the house. I have a cheapo beko large load reverse one was only about 140 quid. I personally prefer vented as opposed to condenser as find the condensers take longer.

there isnt such a thing as a silent one but no doubt a miele or similar which costs a bomb will be as quiet as you can get.

cheers G1bbo, def prefer cheaper, not that fussed about quietness but it will be used constantly.

I bought my beko cheapo via next and its coming upto 4 year old, its had a belt replaced and thats it
(I took extra warranty for 2 quid a month)

We just got a new Hotpoint, vented drier to replace an old condenser model

Installed it with vent kit from screwfix direct superb, all good price if you shop around

Argos delivery and took old model away as well !

The best drier, by far, is the great outdoors!

Washing line or rotary whirly-gig. And apart from initial expense,costs you absolutely nothing. :thup:

Appreciate though, a bit difficult if you live in a flat.

Have a Candy Grand 9kg condenser. It's pretty good, the 9kg capacity is pretty big - great of you've family and do a lot of washing, get loads in. We used to have piles of clothes everywhere but an 11kg washer and 9kg dryer sorts that out Got a good deal on it too, cant remember where. Not too bad on noise.

or a place that's had one of the wettest 12 mths for a long long time................plus clothes don't dry well outside in winter

Cheapo White Knight here. Had it 10 years with no problems, and she uses it daily during winter or wet weather.

Know what you mean, but has been the same down here on the south coast.

A bit of wind helps a lot, plus a conservatory if too wet outside. :thup:

White Knight are apparently the best brand.

So say my local white appliance suppliers.

Bought a beko one a few weeks ago and whilst it is good it has sensor drying which is supposed to stop when your clothes are dry. It does not always work out like that however. It only has 3 time settings 20min 40min and 60 min. Sometimes the 60 ain't enough. My advice would be to get one where you can choose the amount of minutes rather then preset programs.

Better than the cheapest Bosch? (£330 Currys)

I had a white knight before moving and it was OK, sometimes it didn't dry everything, you would get the odd damp sock in amongst it all!

Just moved house and bought a new Hotpoint Aquarius, it was not quite the cheapest out the bunch at £159 but its better than the White Knight we had.

Ive got a Hotpoint Aquarius too and its been very good into its 4th year now (touch wood).

We went with a Hoover Condensing Tumble Dryer with sensor drying. Works quietly and shuts off automatically. With 2 young kids in the house, it gets some proper panhandle but has never let us down

cheers guys, needs to be a venting one............plus I now get told it has to have a door on it for the kitchen units, that makes it an integrated one then I believe........:angry:
