Luckily both pieces fell out with out any problems as soon as I tilted the unit. I am very sure there aren’t any other pieces inside.
Is this flap important or can I just install a anti draught flap on the wall where the duct connects?kwatt wrote:What hood is it as the obvious thing to do would be to strip out the motor unit and clean out any debris?

Oh god I hope that’s not the only way. I don’t want to void any warranties and I honestly wouldn’t even know what I’m doing. Would turning it upside down and gently trying to tip the 2 pieces out be a bad idea? It’s a Samsung hood, I don’t remember the name right now and don’t have access to it until tomorrow.

Smeg stuff is generally well built. you would have to serch reviews to see if people like them. Take reviews with a pinch of salt. They tend to be written just after people get them before any problems start to happen
Dave
Oh I see, I misread a comment someone made then. The Smeg got really bad reviews with people saying it was very hard to get the clothes to get fully dry.
I am looking at the Siemens IQ700 which is the number 1 rated dryer on Which (not sure if they can be trusted?) but they do seem to get good reviews.
It is above my budget at £800 but if its worth getting I will consider it.electrofix wrote:would not go near samsung. recently had one where the motor mount had failed causing the failure of the rear fan and a cover. found a part breakdown and I wanted the mount. the part i wanted was not listed, i suspected it only came with the motor. sent 2 emails and got no reply. Very poor spares servie
look at the miele Again but see what extra cost is longer warranty
also look at reveiws. mixed reveiws mainy due to the technology meaning it takes hours to dry. chances are the rest will also suffer the same drawbackDave
Thanks Ill strongly consider getting something other than Samsung.
There is also this Smeg DHT81LUK for £360 with 5 year guarantee which is also Beko? I am not sure if they will deliver straight to my flatSo I bought the Beko but silly me did not realise that John Lewis can not deliver directly to my door because I live in a flat, they can only leave it outside the main building door due to Covid19. I dont think I can manage getting it down 8 steps myself so I have cancelled the order.
Currys luckily DO deliver right now as long as you keep a 2 meter distance to the delivery man so I think I will have to go with them.
I know GRUNDIG is a rebranded and much higher priced Beko but they do come with 5 year guarantee, are they worth getting?
Or would it be worth spending £100-300 more for a SamsungThese all come with 5 year Guarantee
GRUNDIG GTN28240GW 8kg £400 (from £500)
GRUNDIG GTN38250MGCB 8kg £450 (from £530)

SAMSUNG DV90M50003X/EU 9 kg £690
BOSCH Serie 6 WTWH7660GB 9kg for £700 (from £750)

Oh no!
That is a shame.
I can not find any in stock so I think I missed boat on that one.Should I just get something cheap like this Beko heat pump dryer? its only £270 which is really cheap for a heat pump!
Not sure if Beko is any good though?Oops sorry I thought I linked to it
This Beko DTGP7000Welectrofix wrote:Better be quick as White Knight are stopping (or have stopped) production as its no longer viable in this country

heat pump dryers work on a different principle. they are essentially a dehumidifier in a case. the amount of heat they produce is low so putting it next to a fridge should not cause any problemThanks Dave,
This is one of the main reasons I was thinking of getting a Heat Pump dryer, a non vented might not be best next to a fridge/freezer in a small kitchen.I really wish I could get a White Knight vented dryer tbh, I will have to find out if we are allowed to get someone to drill a vent hole in a council flat.
I am not even sure where I would look for a handyman to do something like that tbh. (or how much it would cost)Re: Buying direct from company vs retailer

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 🙂Don
Thank you! Just what I was looking for!Re: Buying direct from company vs retailer
kaibart wrote: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
tbh, I wouldnt even know where to find one, what do I look for? Know any good ones in London?

as I have read on these forums that they are pretty good❓ :rolls:
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.
