Largely impressed overall
4/5
Very well-built and does the job very well and efficiently: refrigerant system is a bit noisy but not boethersome for me as the dryer is located in the utility cupboard. I find the normal 'cupboard dry' setting works best for most things, but there's the 'cupboard dry plus' and 'extra dry' options for thicker fabrics. Clothes and towels are coming out evenly dried and with little creasing. I do wish there was more of a reverse tumble action, especially on the 'bedding' cycle: it rotates clockwise for several minutes, then stops and gently rolls anti-clockwise for about 5 seconds before resuming the other way which risks tangling large items or rolling them into a ball. Having said that I'm largely impressed overall- the dryer's not too expensive, it's efficient to run, dries well and feature-packed to boot. The steam option certainly saves on the need to iron, and the drum light has been useful given that the dryer is in the cupboard which does not have its own lighting to see what you're doing clearly.
