Heat pump tumble dryer recommendations

[arcticmonkey19]

Hi,

I’ve had a search and just thinking as the latest often changes and I’m hesitant to not just buy without researching first, I wondered what heat pump dryer people would recommend. That will dry clothes without switching off on it’s own. I can’t remember what the name for it is but possibly was an auto sensor that I had on old tumble dryer (it would switch off when it thought it was dry yet often would find the clothes weren’t ready) Just now my mum has a samsung eco bubble one I think and it does well to dry the clothes I put in at normally an hour. I’m unsure whether to stick to familiar or if there is better out there that may be possibly cheaper.

I love my miele dyer! It's the best if budget permits

We've just moved house, and need to buy a tumble dryer. I haven't had one for a long time - just used to dry washing on the radiators (which I know is not ideal due to condensation). But our new house has no gas central heating, only electric panel radiators. (modern, wifi controlled efficient heaters, but we can't put anything on them). So now looking to buy a tumble dryer. It's probably going to have to live in the conservatory for now, until we get a new extension built. In summer, the conservatory was so warm that clothes dried on a plain airer within hours, but it's already getting pretty cold at night. I'm looking at a heat pump or a condenser dryer, and looking for any recommendations, please?

Just a note to say get one with a reverse tumble. My pricey Bosch one just rotates one way so big sheets get really tangled.

Oh, sorry, can't be read...I'll try again

For Which magazine

Maybe look up Which...Nov issue. Sorry, crap photo.

Thanks, I'll have a look for the Which issue

Just to add to my post above, I can't decide between a condenser or a heat pump type dryer. At the moment, the dryer will have to go into the conservatory, which, while it's connected to the kitchen via a patio door, so not an outhouse as such, it isn't heated and in winter is pretty cold. So maybe a heat pump dryer won't be so efficient and will take longer? Is a condenser dryer really much more expensive to run, especially if it takes less time? Eventually I'm hoping to build a proper extension where the conservatory is, so it will then be 'indoors'.
