Best tumble dryer?

[MoosesOnGooses]

I need to buy a new condenser tumble dryer.

Does anyone have any recommendations?

It will be used multiple times a day as I tumble dry everything 😅

Budget is £300 and I will be buying from AO. Thanks!

Do not buy a condenser tumble drier- they are rubbish buy vented or heat pump

They're all toss. Hotpoint failed after 2 years, needed a £100 call out.

Oh really? I was told I needed a condenser one as I don’t have an outlet for steam.

Heat pump is also condenser but better.

I love my Beko one. Yes it takes a little longer than a traditional one but it works perfectly.
Because it is steam that the clothes are tumbled in they don't feel quite dry when you take them out BUT they are. 30 seconds and they are dry. Also better at reducing creases as they don't overdry clothes.

I absolutely love my heat pump. My sister has a traditional condenser; luckily she has a utilitity room as, it seems, most of the heat goes into the room. With a heat pump it is recycled back into the clothes and heat in the room is minimal

I have a condensed now after getting rid of the heat pump one and it’s brilliant, the water waste pipe goes straight in the sink so no need to empty it ever, it is a Bosch
My previous heat pump took absolute ages for a cycle and even then the clothes were not dried 100% but damp

I have the aeg heat pump one. It has been amazing. Dries the clothes well and very cheap to run. Way cheaper than a condenser one.
