Well-packaged item arrived the day after I ordered it…excellent service. All seems fine, thank you very much.
Fast to dry, very pleased with it. It was just slightly noisy with the first two drying but I guess that the floor wasn’t hard enough where I kept it in the beginning, after I moved it to another place it does work silently.
Good for the price and fits nicely in the cupboard
I don’t have space for a full sized dryer and we don’t have a lot of laundry.
Used in the past month and it has been good, although it is barely warm and doesn’t get real hot.
I’ve been able to minimize the time it requires to dry by doing an extra spin cycle on my washer, as well as cleaning the filter, and turning on the kitchen fan to get rid of excess water vapor. I get a set of 5 body towels dried in just under 2 hours.
Delivery was quite a surprise as, once the initial purchase was made, I received no confirmation of delivery. Delivery driver took not of my disability and placed the drier where it was needed for me.
Overall I am pleased with the whole process and the drier is a big help.
It was delivered super fast (two days earlier than expected).
It’s small enough to fit in one of my kitchen cupboards, so is easily hidden, and I can either move it when in use or just stick the hose out of the cupboard.
It is really quiet, makes less noise than my washing machine, and it dries surprisingly more clothes than I thought it would.
It also dries the clothes quickly, although admittedly I know this isn’t very efficient, so I’ve been washing my clothes, leaving them overnight on the heated airer and then finishing the process off with 30 mins or so in the dryer.
Honestly couldn’t be happier with this. Great little purchase and I only wish I’d have found this years ago.
Wow this machine is fabulous! So so easy to use, it took a whole load of washing including jeans and dried in under 80 minutes, using around 40p electric (my washing machine has a small drum but it is the same size drum as the drier)
I would really recommend getting the drier eggs, and putting each piece in one by one, but I literally can’t fault it. So impressed, my clothes have never been so soft either and no creases even in the jeans!
One thing I will say is that the condenser box (sold separately) isn’t that great, i had it in my kitchen and it was steamed up within 10 mins, but that’s fine as I plan on moving it out to my utility shed where my washing machine is, and I’ll work out a system for having the hose out of the door instead.
I used this on my Narrowboat, where size is obviously a big issue, and this works perfectly. It’s relatively easy to move (although not means super-lightweight) and it fits really nicely in my Cabin Locker. It’s also surprisingly spacious – I managed to fit a full size load on a long duration timer and it handled it no problems! It won’t heat to super high temperatures either (around 30-40C), but that’s not a disadvantage for me since it’ll do dedicates with ease.
All in all if you’re looking for something that will dry your clothes, within a relatively short amount of time (compared to leaving them on a Washing Line for Air Drying) this will do the trick no problem!
A couple of things I would 100% recommend to purchase as add-ons would be:
1. A vent extension. The vent tube that comes with this machine is about 1.5 metres and couldn’t quite reach our window- you can get cheap ones for about a fiver.
2. Tumble dryer balls. I know it sounds ridiculous but you wouldn’t believe the amount of time these cut off- saving energy and (hopefully) extending the life of the machine all for the price of a few quid and a little bit of noise.
Overall I’m extremely happy and glad I didn’t have to pay a fortune for a larger tumble dryer that I didn’t have the space for. Would definitely recommend!
It light enough to move from room to room but I’ve found a space in a corner for it.
The supplied hose isn’t very long so I’d definitely recommend buying a separate longer one (4 inch diameter) if you need to place it further away from a window to vent.
The first one I got had a fault, but the seller was very supportive. I had to send the old one back to get a replacement one and the switch over happened very quickly so really happy with their customer service levels. The new one hasn’t had any issues at all thankfully.
My only bug bear is the cleaning of the filter, which is minor but it’s in the main drum and although super easy to clean, there’s a second layer to it that also picks up fluff & cleaning that half isn’t as easy.
Not sure if it’s meant to be there or not but that’s my only niggle other than that I love it.
I’m still working out how much I can fit in without overloading. I have had a kingsized duvet cover and sheet in and they dried perfectly.
When I have had full sized dryers in the past, I have been able to take out clothes, shake them and not need to iron. This dryer seems to cause a lot if wrinkles – but I may have over-dried them.
I have placed mine in a 500mm kitchen cupboard. I bring the extractor tube over the top of the machine and place in a convector trap. I changed the cupboard door hinge to 165′ hinges, so I can fully open the door to give maximum ventilation.
The two things that may become an issue in time, the dial seems quite flimsy and may break and the filter looks like it may tear easily.
Some reviews have mentioned it is loud, but it seemed no louder than previous dryers that I have had.
