Never had one before.
I don't iron much, don't really want to start ironing loads.
Does everything get really, really creased? What sorts of things do you / don't you put in? Ie is it worth putting in certain stuff if it's just going to get really creased then I need to spend hours ironing?

I find it means things are less creased - with the expecting of jeans. I just follow the instructions on clothes. Find your low heat button. Tumble dryers have a tendency to shrink kids socks. I never put wooly stuff in as it can shrink. Final tip - button up your duvet covers before the go in otherwise everything will end up inside them and remain wet.

Thanks for your tips. I started looking at labels earlier and apparently lots of our stuff can't go in Hmm.
I'm hoping I'll get full use when baby comes and all babys stuff can go in. FX!

If it is not wool and you put on low heat you can risk a lot!! Especially if it is a sensor tumble dryer so stuff doesn't get over done.
