Recommend me your tumble drier please ?

My tumble drier has finally died of exhaustion and need to replace it ASAP.
Can anyone help me speed up the decision by recommending me their machine ?

My existing one was Zanussi with a 7kg capacity.
It’s a vented type.

The features I liked were -

Anti crease- beeps when finished but then carries on turning the dry clothes intermittently
Easy to empty fluff filter and prompts you to do so.
Auto sensor dry ( though if could over ride this on occasion that would also be fab )

Anyone got a great tumble dryer they can recommend me ?
Thanks

ours is a John Lewis to begin with I thought we had made a mistake. took way longer than old machine and I felt it was not doing what it was meant too. Ffw a few years and I am very happy with it. it doesn't shrink clothing at all. we have had a drop in energy bills as it uses less than the olemd one (despite being on for longer) so now I would very much recommend however if you are used to the old style high heat types this takes some 're adjusting

Ours runs on gas. I was skeptical but DH persuaded it me it would be more eco friendly than electric. It's fantastic! Inexpensive to buy and very cheap to run. I've had it 5 years and it's used every other day.

Ours is White Knight, I think - it doesn't have many bells and whistles though nothing comes out particularly creased and the fluff is easy to empty. It's vented and dries a load incredibly quickly.

I have a Bosch condenser, it has all the features you list and a light inside the drum which I thought was a bit of a gimmick but is actually really handy! Hasn't given me a moment's trouble in 3 years.

Thanks so much for the replies sorry I didn’t update sooner !
Have ended ordering a Hoover one - my sister has one similar.

Enko John Lewis seem to be selling mostly heat pump but I was put off by the price and slower drying times
The Bosch ones on John Lewis has awful reviews even though I was tempted by that as I love my Bosch washer .
Had never heard of a gas run one - but we aren’t on mains gas anyway here !
Anyway thanks for getting my shortlist going fingers crossed it’s a good one when it arrives
