Midea MDG09EH80 Freestanding Heat Pump Dryer, 8kg load, 16 Programmes, Auto-Dry, Anti-Crease, Delay Start, Child Lock, White [Energy Class A++]

I purchased this over six months ago…I needed time to see how it worked. I’m pleased with it. I don’t have a large household but I appreciate the convenience of a tumble dryer. This one works well. It drys at lower temperatures ( which I prefer), so shrinkage is limited, if at all. Cost-wise, it’s proved a good buy. I haven’t noticed a massive dent in costs when it’s in use. It’s not too loud. It’s located in a room in which I often do online meetings, and it hasn’t proved to be a problem. The 369 I paid feels like a good price for the quality.

Excellent machine , costs so much less to run than my previous condenser machine that was under five years old , this was the cheapest one I could find with no charge for delivery , bought now with a view to only using it in the winter months , it does take longer to dry things but that’s a small draw back when it’s so much cheaper to run , like 1/4 of the price of a condenser dryer .

This dryer was excellent value, typical load uses 1kw and i use overnight so maximum cost per load is about 25 pence at the moment. Water dispenser is easy to empty,cleaning fluff is easy also on opening door internal light displays inside of drum.Start delay function is a good function to use on economy 7 so come on during off peak would recommend this product.

I’ve never owned a Tumble Dryer before. I always put off buying one, as so many people told me that they were very expensive to run.

Unfortunately, I’m disabled, and just can’t cope with Winter weather, so trying to put my washing on the line isk a no-no in our wet and windy winters – and my 300 year old, stone-built cottage was getting bad damp and mould problems every Winter, with me using my radiators to try and dry my laundry.

I finally gave in, and started looking for a Tumble Dryer, as I couldn’t face the expense of another winter, trying to keep ahead of the damp and mould.

I researched Tumble Dryers, and asked everyone I know about which type of dryer I should purchase, as my walls are 3ft thick, so I couldn’t put the hose through them, and I felt having a window open, in winter, would be crazy, so that meant normal dryers were out of the running.

I asked around, to see what people thought of compresser dryers, where the hose goes in a box, which is then emptied, but I was told tale after tale, of the horrors of coping with them – I was told that it took forever to dry the washing – which was still never totally dry – which, with the energy costs we’re having to deal with now, took this out, of the running, too.

So, what was left to me, were Heat Pump Dryers. These are much more expensive to buy, but I started looking around for one and, after a lot of research, and looking at the smallest details of hundreds of them, I eventually settled on this particular Brand.

It’s apparently a good Brand, and the machine itself wasn’t half as expensive as many I’d been looking at but, what clinched it for me, was Amazon offering me interest free payment terms.

So I looked into it further, then clicked to buy it.

The Tumble Dryer was delivered quicker than I’d expected, and it was over a week after getting it, before it was unwrapped, and I started to look at all the instructions of use.

Fortunately for me, it seemed straightforward, and so I did a load of washing, then set it up for my first Drying cycle.

This was really easy, and I was impressed, not only with how well it dried my washing – which was towels and bedding – but with how easy it was for me to empty out the tank afterwards – which was a doddle, even with my bad hands!

I also found cleaning out the filter after use to be a really simple process, and I’ve found the whole experience easy, enjoyable and, something really important for me nowadays, quite cheap!

My next lot of laundry, I checked with my Smart Meter and, doing 2 loads of washing, and 3 loads of drying, from 3.30pm, to 10pm (I’ve found a more economical – in both time, and money -choice to dry since then) only cost me 1.26, in electricity, to run.

Admittedly, that was before the October 1st huge raise in prices, but I worked it out under my new tariff, and the same 2 washes, and 3, more economical, drying cycles, would still cost me under 4 – & that’s with all the other electrical items that I have on in the house, within that cost!

For me, this has been a super buy, as the dryer is easy to use, is keeping my house free from damp (with each load I dry, I’ve been measuring the water I empty from the tank) there is always at least 1 litre of water emptied out of it), which means it’s also saving me the money it always cost me in dealing with the damp and mould every winter. I can also run my heating on a lower temperature, with the radiators free of washing, which is also a saving in electricity, plus my very expensive heating oil!

But, more than anything else, I can now do my washing, and have it all clean, wonderfully soft and dry, and put away, within hours, as opposed to the 2-3 days that doing washing, then trying to dry it, used to take me.

As far as I’m concerned, that’s worth every penny that this great Heat Pump Tumble Dryer has cost me to buy, and run it!

Oh, by the way, it also comes under warranty, which is grea

we were worried at first due to similar product we ordered from Argos which arrived dented badly which was noted half way through taking the packing off then sending it back , waiting for refund , but we needed this product . Needless to say this time all went well so thank you and would recommend

What can I say but brilliant? The machine was delivered very efficiently by the drivers and I was able to easily track delivery. All packaging taken away was paid for, of course, 3.00 was not much to pay. I also paid 12 to have my old machine uplifted, excellent value compared to some other companies. I decided to move away from the old condenser machine, it was 9 years old and making a lot of noise. I was definitely hoping for a money-saving machine as promised by these heat pump models. I have not been disappointed.
I did 3 lots of clothing in the one day for less than a pound. I was ecstatic. Towels 32p, baker’s whites 35p, and a mixed load 28p. As I am disabled the tumble dryer is somewhat of a necessity. I honestly do not mind putting the tumble dryer on now. Also, the machine looks good and the price I paid was excellent for a heat pump dryer. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this dryer. I’d never heard of the company before but I did read a bit about them, they are the biggest appliance maker in the world.
You’ve sometimes just got to take a chance on a new name, I’m so glad I did. Not to put anyone off, they sponsor Manchester City. I only mention that in case like me you had never heard of them before. Just try it, you won’t be disappointed.
