Game changer! Adulthood almost complete.
5/5
Having reached the age of 43 and a half without ever owning a separate tumble dryer…. this is a game changer and has resulted in me achieving “adulthood level 9”.
I’ve only had it a week but have washed and dried everything apart from the cat so it’s had a lot of use already. It’s easy to use, the drum size is bigger than expected which is great… clothes have plenty of room to tumble and play tangle with each other. The filters are delicate but easy to access and empty. It’s a little noisier than I thought but I have nothing to compare it with so that might be normal.
There are plenty of settings, I’m still playing around with them to see what works best for me and which are most efficient in terms of cost and time. It does tend to tell porkies when it comes to the time, perhaps 1 minute is actually half an hour where it comes from? You’ll soon learn to forgive that though, as it’s drying performance far outweighs it’s ability to understand Earth time.
I always thought tumble dryers were expensive to run, however this one isn’t, at most it’s cost a couple of kWh per load (about 34p) on my tariff and the eco setting used considerably less.
Now the only problem I have is my washer/dryer didn’t accept the new family member… took offence to sharing the same room as my new shiny dryer and had a meltdown when it realised 50% of its job had become redundant…. Things got really bad yesterday and it quit! Yes that right, threw a wobbly - spat it’s drum off the springs or spider (whatever you call it) screamed the house down and faked it’s voice only a military fighter jet would match. So, AO to the rescue, new washer on order and they are taking the W/D for a peaceful recycle.
