The winter weather combined with a potty-training toddler has caused quite a backlog in the laundry basket. We haven't had a tumble dryer before as we are limited on space. I was pleasantly surprised to find a small, condenser-style dryer with 7kg capacity! The dryer fits perfectly into the small gap we have, with just enough space for the required clearances. It is designed to be a built-in appliance, however, it looks absolutely fine without a cupboard door Infront of it. I'm able to run two loads of laundry per day, when typically I'd only be able to get two loads fully dry over the space of a week (with the use of airers, central heating and dehumidifiers). The water collection tank design is common-sense and excellent: grip the handle on the inside of the door, lift gently, tip out down the sink and pop back in a jiffy. The fluff filter in the doorwell can be cleaned and replaced in seconds; the filter behind the bottom panel takes only a minute to take care of and put back. I've found myself mostly switching between the eco-cotton and sports programmes for our regular laundry; with the whites programme handling towels. I've found that garments with pockets and the little one's trousers with elastic waistbands need to either spend some time on the radiator for the extra layers, or use the 30 minute program to finish them off. I have not attempted to use the wifi controls, as I don't personally see any good reason for connecting a kitchen appliance to the internet. My only complaint is aimed at the provided instructions. They were stapled in the wrong order and are more concerned about fitting the dryer into a cupboard than operating it. All details about what the different programs do and what the symbols mean are all on different pages, so a lot of flicking about as you get used to the settings. If someone over at Candy could take a bit of time to give the instructions some TLC, that would be excellent.

Great size and dries the clothes really quickly. I have three messy kids and my machine is on constant. Great value for money.

There is not a huge choice in Integrated tumble dryers and so after reading reviews I settled on this candy machine. I've only had it s week but so far am pretty happy with it. I've used the dark load setting on extra dry and that seems to work well. On opening the dryer the washing can feel damp initially until you take it out to fold. I haven't downloaded the app as yet. The filters seem easy enough to empty, there is a water collector in the door as well as a fluff filter and also another fluff filter which would be behind the plinth so you would need to make sure the plinth is easily removable. I always tumble dry with the cupboard door open but have noticed it can get damp on the cupboard sides at the front of the machine and have to wipe it down so will have to keep an eye on that.

As the tumble dryer was an emergency buy and it was the only one I could get with the fixings on the front for the door, I had to pay this stupid high price £590! It was delivered no problem at the time that was stated. I came to my elderly parents to put it in and get it set up, only to find no instruction booklet! This thing has dozens of settings, without an instruction book I was screwed! I couldn’t even work out how to set the language. I phoned AO who are sending another booklet pack out. Hopefully I can sort out an easy program for mum and dad to use. But without any instructions it baffled me.

does what it says it does

its a ok tumble drier but takes ages to dry clothes in comparison to a standard one .

Great little integrated heat pump tumble dryer by Candy. Simple to use with easy user friendly controls. A+ rated, so economical to run with a 10 year guarantee.

Fantastic dryer; very low energy usage. Integration with WiFi and Smartphone is really handy. Drying modes are intuitive and footprint of the machine is amazingly small for a 7kg capacity.
