Ineffective damp sensing
3/5
Sadly not blown away by this dryer. I agree with previous reviews about sometimes having to run it twice to get items fully dry even on the strongest setting. This means items can be left warm and damp for hours sometimes - really not ideal. I'd liken it to the early low energy bulbs which weren't bright enough - things need to be fit for purpose. Most of us want to save energy, but at the same time we expect appliances to be able to perform their task. I guess time will tell if there's any energy/cost saving. A few other gripes unfortunately. There is a high-pitched whine when it's running (and my ears are well into middle age - doesn't affect us because it's in an outbuilding, but it would in your kitchen. Finally, minor grumble, the water tank runs the full depth of the machine and so you need a lot of clear space in front of the machine in order to remove it. This won't trouble most people, but we did have to clear a bigger space in front of it. I miss my old simpler machine, but if this does reduce our bills, I may not regret the change. On a positive note - the internal light has proved a helpful addition.
