Indesit YTM1182XUK 8kg Heat Pump Tumble Dryer - White

Efficient & quiet

"Much more energy efficient than my older model, great to have different modes depending on what you're putting in and it's so quiet compared to my old one. Very happy "

New to heat pump dryers!

"First time owning a heat pump, always had vented tunnel dries. So far so good, cycled take longer as expected but very easy to use and 8kg takes a big load of clothes. Hopefully the heat pump will help bring down the energy costs over time. So far so good. "

Tumble dryer

"Seems to work well so far and a lot quieter than our last tumbler

Like the symbols to tell you when water needs emptying, filters need cleaning etc..still working out the MULTIPLE settings"

Hoover fridge freezer

"A ++++++++ fridge freezer

Nice look on the outside and inside "

Takes a long time, but good for cat hair

"The dryer works well, but does take a very long time compared to my 30 year old vented dryer. For damp clothes off the line, my old one used to dry them in 10 mins. This one would take 30 mins.

I do like the Refresh option though - 20 mins no heat. This is especially useful for towels I've dried on a rack that just need softening up. Also for the pile of clothes that accumulate in my bedroom which are still clean, but a bit crumpled and sprinkled with cat hair. It's excellent at getting the cat hair off clothes. Fluff filter very easy to empty too.

My main criticism is the controls - overly complex based on what you are drying. i.e. programme selection. I would have much preferred 2 simple dials where you can just set the heat to high/low and the duration. There is no way to set this machine to a simple option of hot for 10 mins. There is a manual timer, but the minimum is 30 mins.

So in summary, it works, but I don't like it as much as the 30 yr old dryer it replaced and as it takes more than 3 times as long, I'm not convinced of the energy savings."

good

"long drying time, but otherwise good."
