Shit! Dead tumble dryer 💀 Anyone have Which?

Tumble dryer has died this evening. Bad news 😱

Anyone have Which? Membership?

I need to purchase tomorrow and always make botch appliance decisions when rushed.

Ideally a 10kg condenser is what I want with good energy rating. Are there any on the Which guide?

I know it’s a cheeky ask and effort. All I can offer is to forever send you thoughts and prayers and good wash omens 😂 🙏

My cheapo A energy one is dying but it is 20 years old, sad times

I use Which for a lot but honestly I would always buy Miele.

I had someone here mending my washer dryer and they said Beko were the best to go for - don't know if that helps

Unless you're running a guest house or have a need to change lots of bedding and towels regularly, don't rush to buy a tumble dryer as most families can manage without one for a few weeks. Give yourself time to read reviews and ask about different models.

We buy all our big appliances from AO and the service has always been really good.

We had a beko one before which died after 9 years heavy use. We've replaced it with a Samsung and I miss the Beko. It was much better I wish we'd got a Beko again!
We've only used heat pumps recently though because they're more energy efficient, I found condensers can make your clothes crispy although the technology has probably improved.

AO and read all reviews before deciding.

I find that Which? test a small range of makes/ models or their last test was years ago so it's no longer relevant. I'd go with a top rated appliance from AO. FWIW I have a Beko TD too.

I bought a Miele 17 years ago and it’s still going strong.

What!!! Omg lol that is impressive.

Thank you so much @Becauseyouaskednicely . I do trust a which buy so will look at that one.

Also two recommendations for the Beko sounds good.

Although it was quite exciting doing a late night dash to the carpark tumbles. 20kg! I should do that more often I think. Certainly for the post-holiday washes.

My subscription fee is basically now a charitable donation so you may as well make use of it

i got the same beko one as @BagGreen24 a couple of months ago. It’s a which best buy / was top of their table. Works great. I’ve never had one before though so nothing to compare to.

MrsBuntyS · 16/09/2025 23:25

Miele.

I've literally just bought a new one at the weekend. Ordered at 2pm Sat was delivered on Sunday.
Went for this one after some research

Old one was a heat pump and took forever and died after less than 4 years! Although I do use it a lot.
I'm really impressed with this one up to now. Loads quicker than the old one. Might be less efficient but takes half the time so surely cancels out 🤷🏼‍♀️
