The reason I bought this machine is because it was recommended on the Good Housekeeping website. Contrary to what people say, the drying function does work well as long as you do not fill the drum with clothes as the manual and common sense suggests. In terms of "bang for buck" I would say this is great, but I don't have a more expensive or a cheaper machine to compare it to. The drying program length varies but you can get clothes through it pretty quickly if not drying. It is handy that it comes with an app too as you can set it to come on ready for when you need it to be, or set a timer. It's a shame that it is not integrated like my previous machine, but as it is quite good looking it's not too much of an issue.
