Recommendation for a condenser tumble drier without a sensor?

Our Indesit has given up and I can’t find the same model again. It was the perfect no fuss drier for me. Had a sensor drier before that and it drove me mad, stopping when it felt like it leaving damp clothes. Decided I like a basic model where I just choose turn the dial and go! Needs to be white with a transparent door preferably, and 8kg load minimum. Any recommendations? Thanks

If you can't find a basic model, you could use one with a sensor but use one of the timer cycles instead of a sensor dry cycle.

My Samsung heat pump has both options, 9kg with a clear door. Heat pumps are condensers, but probably dry at lower temp than standard condensers as they are more energy efficient. Far cheaper to run, gentler on clothes, but take a bit longer to dry.

We have a Siemens one that has a sensor but also can be done by timer. You can also choose different levels of drying (so, e.g. cupboard dry +3). I don't remember the model number and we have had it a couple of years, but it's great. It also has a rack that you can use for drying trainers, or wool.
