We’re now on out 3rd one of these. The first had a broken heat sensor, so it never switched off and the clothes came out molten - I would never recommend leaving these machines on at night or when you go out. The second sounded like a it had a pair of trainers kicking around in it. The third seems to be okay and has an updated display, so perhaps this is a revised model? The tumble dryer has a lot of pluses and is replacing a ventilated White Knight work horse of a dryer, that was just brilliant. The good, is it dries clothes well and it’s easy to enter the water container. It does sweat though and leaves the insides of your cabinets a little damp but it’s not too bad. The integrated aspects are however very poor. Hoover/Candy/Beaumatic (they’re all the same company) have taken their standard dryers and reduced the width but forgot about attaching the cupboard door. Their solution is to add some huge blocks that are impossible to fix fully, and with screw holes in the machine that don’t line up with the casing. Our door now flops around a little as a result. The instructions are also really poor, with poor descriptions and illustrations that don’t match the text, as well as important information in illustration captions rather than the instruction text and are therefore easy to miss. Considering the choices for an integrated dryer are limited to this model and slight variations of it, this is still a good dryer but the design and build quality let it down badly - whether this is on Hoover’s side or AO not treating the machines with respect in the warehouse or delivery. The machines are not cheap either, so I hope this is our 3rd and final dryer and that it doesn’t break within a time reasonable under consumer law.

Early days yet, but happy with drying performance and how it is handling clothes so they don't come out crushed. 3 stars is due to the fact we had a machine that had the "trainer thudding round" noise, which was really bad initially. Product support from Hoover\Candy\Baumatic stated that this issue was due to the neoprene drum support rollers having flat spots due to the machine sitting static since manufacturing. They said it would take upto 20 hours of operation for them to round out again and the noise has improved over the first 4 runs, so i'm hopeful that is correct. Controls are much more complicated than our old vented dryer (a 15 year veteran) so only used a few options so far but had good results. If it did not have the drum noise, it would probably have rated a 4.

First one delivered made a drumbeat noise that could be heard throughout the house. The replacement was quiet conversation soundevel. I takes several hours to dry things. But at long as it's quiet hidden and cheap to run then it's good. Will never be at good as vented but you already knew that.

It not a great tumble dryer but then the choices are so limited that this is probably the best we could do at the time. It does fine but it’s nothing to write home about.

Takes a while to dry. Start button is temperamental and it makes inside the cupboards soaking wet with condensation even though we have the door open

This is the second one we have had but water keeps pouring down the sides not sure why this keeps happening. This is supposed to be heat pump no vents required but the condensation on the outside of the machine every time we use the dryer and the water drips down to the bottom of the machine on to my floor leaving pool of water.

Dryer arrived on time and has been easy to use.

Seems fine, but as we haven’t moved in yet it’s too early to say much more
