    I want to buy a White Knight vented tumble dryer as I have read on these forums that they are pretty good. I have the option to buy it from White Knight for £179 or from Currys/Coop/etc for £169. Who am I better off buying it from? If I have any problems in the future, which will be better to deal with?

    I would suggest a local independent shop after sales are normally a lot better if you have any problems and can normally get it delivered quicker

    No? Ok maybe i remember one person saying it, but they are very simple machines and I have read they do not break down as often as all the fancy ones with sensors and extra functions. They are made in the UK so parts are cheap if they do break down. What would you suggest? I want to buy any dryer and not have any problems, budget is £500.

    No ‘local independent’ is likely to stock them so 169 quid at Currys….Go for it :tup:

    Plenty of Indies stock these it’s the most popular dryer at the right price with good spares availability and easy to repair.

    warzinak if you put your postcode into this RETRA link your local retailers will be listed.

    Support the independents 🙂 use us or lose us :con:


    HTH 🙂
