Do you own a heat-pump Dryer made by samsung

[Kc1009]

One simple question.

DOES IT DRY YOUR WASHING????????

Especially bed sheets.

[Tronkmanton]

Yes and yes. But it's overpriced and takes bloody hours to dry anything! It also gets condensation on the inside of the window- not had a dryer do that before.

[ChocChocPorridge]

I don't have the samsung, but an AEG - and like Tronk it's unbelievable how frustratingly long it takes to dry everything.

It's also super-sensitive to fluff - I have to clean all three filters really frequently or it stops working.

I think the main problem is it seems to just gently huff warm air at the clothes, which is probably better for them, but I almost miss unloading steaming jeans with burning hot zips!

[Kc1009]

Omg I'm so glad I'm not the only one. It takes two settings, 2 maybe 4 times to dry my washing it is driving me potty.

[sopsmum]

I have the John Lewis one that is actually made by aeg. It takes forever and won't work if there is any fluff anywhere. But it doesn't shri k my clothes!!

If you had a spin dryer it would get an extra pint out of the washing & it would dry faster.

They spin at 2800rpm & the centrifugal drainage gets the water out better than the horizontal position the washing machine spins at.

I do and I love it but I always find i need to dry stuff for another 15 mins after it thinks it's finished to get stuff super dry.

[Fairylea]

I do find I need to clean the filter very often and use an old paintbrush to get the fluff off the metal by the filter. Then it works much better.

I have the John Lewis one as well. I've learnt to just ignore most of the settings and just use Extra Dry or whatever. And be quite organised - so load it the night before and set it to come on at 6.30 etc. It hates men's jeans and heavy hoodie type stuff.

[SwedishEdith]

But it's cheap to run. Our fuel bills have come down since getting it as, presumably, don't have the heating on so much to try to dry clothes. I' recently stacked mine on top of the washing machine and I thinks it's drying better.

[Fairylea]

I agree re the cheap to run. My electricity bill for the last 3 months when I've had the dryer is nearly half of what it was before! (With an old c rated dryer).

[Kc1009]

Must admit. I wouldn't notice any savings due to having air condition on in the house. Hoping will notice a difference in the winter tho. Although I feel the amount of times I have to put it on to dry it would cost more then my last tumble. Has anyone got any tips in how to get bedding dry. I've got superking I've tried just one sheet at a time, as well as all bedding nothing works.

Does anyone have a Samsung heat pump tumble dryer. Treated ourselves, had it 6 months & it keeps stopping with odd codes.
Thanks

[EverythingsSoComplicated]

I've got one and it's terrible. If your getting fault codes I would call the company out you bought it from as it's still within warranty. Hope u get it sorted.

[Adatwistscientist]

Yes but as pp you have to keep that bottom filter very clean.

[bert3400]

I've got one, it does take ages and plays a annoying tune when it finally finishes . Yes the filter needs constant attention and I haven't noticed a reduction in my electric bills at all . It is quiet so that one plus

[Nattalie18]

@bert3400 you know you can silence the annoying tune? Life changing discovery for me 😝

[HasaDigaEebowai]

I like the tune. I’m on my second. The first caught fire…

I have the AEG heat pump dryer and I absolve it. You have to change your mindset from using a traditional dryer because it works differently.

My AEG dryer can take up 9kg so easy enough to cope with my 7kg washing machine. I find that it works best if you sort by weight, so a load of towels or bedding etc. On mine you select the type of washing, synthetics, cotton etc pop the wet washing in, turn it on and leave it to do its thing. You don't need to open to check on progress because the sensors will detect when it reaches the required dryness and switch itself off.

I do find that I set mine to a higher dryness level because I like things like towels really dry.

I would certainly recommend my AEG model, pricy but worth it.

[Lavendersquare]

Absolve? I meant absolutely love it 🥰

[CRT29]

My Heat Pump tumble dryer only turns the washing in one direction so the load gets into a tighter and tighter roll. Shouldn't it use alternative spinning directions?
