Hello all
My wife for xmas is looking for a tumble dryer (not the ones which u load from the top but normal loading on the front) my budget is about £200-£360
i saw these online:
Bosch Exxcel WTV74104GB
Bosch WTV74308G (same price as above)
BOSCH WTE84104GB
BOSCH WTC84100GB
WHIRLPOOL AWZ 8578 Condenser Tumble Dryer
Hotpoint Aqualtis AQCF852BU Condenser
HOTPOINT TCD975P Tumble Dryer
HOOVER VHC391 Tumble Dryer (9KG cap!!)not sure what is best??? a vented or condensed tumble dryer
any help guys please
😕 😥Re: Any reccomendations for a tumble dryer??
Hi mstar
Vented dryers are more reliable as they have less tech inside. This is okay if you provision for venting the steam away.
On the other hand a condenser dryer needs no venting, trick with these is to clean the filters and condenser after each use.
There is quite a lot more info in our Tumble dryer buying guide which may help.
HTH 🙂

Re: Any reccomendations for a tumble dryer??

I cannot go with a Vented.

Re: Any reccomendations for a tumble dryer??
What about a Whiteknight 77AW?
Should get one for £230ish
Re: Any reccomendations for a tumble dryer??
never heard of whiteknight?? is that a good brand? as reliability is important.

I would say Whirlpool, Bosch, Hotpoint and Hoover in that order.

White Knight dryers are made by Crosslee they also produce for other names as well. Our engineers here like them as they are easier to repair than most and the cost of spares is reasonable. A good all round honest range of machines.

Re: Any reccomendations for a tumble dryer??
is there any reason why whirlpool are better then Bosch?
particularly in the condenser variety? or is it the quality issue?
Re: Any reccomendations for a tumble dryer??
Bosch make excellent appliances generally, however the tumble dryers seem to let them down, the quality just doesn`t seem to be the same as their other product ranges.
The Whirlpool dryers are a well built sturdy machine and parts prices are about on par with Bosch. Only real difference is the Bosch will have a two year warranty as opposed to the one year on Whirlpool.
However, both are still miles better than the H`s you listed.
HTH 🙂

A good alternative to the whirlpool, a good sound appliance not as good as they used to be since electrolux bought them some years ago.

Why? Load size
Although this article is about washing machines the same basic principals apply to standard sized dryers.
Worth taking note of the mention in that article of the average load size throughout the UK.. 😉
Re: Any reccomendations for a tumble dryer??
Hi
Just to keep us on our toes you know 😆
In alphabetical order 😉
The AEG T58860 is an 8kg machine which is well over budget.
The Hotpoint AQCF852BI is an 8kg from their reliable Aqualtis range. It comes in just under budget.
The Siemens WT46E389GB is slightly over budget but with it`s 5 year warranty is a very good proposition.
Lastly the Whirlpoool AWZ8578 is well under budget.If it were me I would stay with a 6kg machine 😉
HTH 🙂Don
