I'm sure this dryer is very efficient and does save costs... but as a tumble dryer.. it doesn't do it's job very well! It struggles to dry my towels and sheets after 8 hours or 2 full cycles, sometimes running into the second day of drying. It can get quite tedious in a large household with lots of laundry to do. I much prefer the old condenser dryer that I had switched from to be honest. On the off chance that I have a faulty machine I've contacted AO who sent me contact info for Haier who in turn weren't much help. Hopefully others have a better experience with the actual drying performance of the machine (not just it's costs effectiveness) but I wanted to share my experience.

Fabulous product, lots of useful settings and we can dry a load of clothes for about 55p (useful to know in the current climate). The product is really heavy and seems great quality, easy to empty the water, lint and condenser filter too. I’ve already recommended this product to other people.

I must admit coming from a condemning drier it takes notably longer (I find the average load, from a full washing machine takes around 3.5 - 4 hours), but I worked out the cost to be around 45p per load, as opposed to £1.35 with the previous machine so it's worth it. The drier goes on around 7 times a week with small people getting messy, so I think I'll make the cost back in electricity bill savings in around a year and half, and that's ignoring the current price increases! Machine does a fab job, and modifies the dry time depending on how wet things are for you, and the handy phone buzz to tell you it's done is great too! Well made and very quiet. Feels a quality product.

Best tumble dryer I’ve ever owned. Large drum, Drys in the program and love the anti creasing part of the cycle. Would definitely recommend.

Brilliant machine and lots of drying features.

Lots of settings so no shrinking clothes . Delay setting for night cheaper rate electricity. Large drum size . Perfect.

This dryer has been absolutely brilliant. We had a second-hand condensing dryer before which used more electricity and generally took 3 cycles before items were fully dry. I love that this dryer has so many drying options, is much more efficient, is quieter and uses less electricity.

Heat pump is slower to dry but hopefully as it says there is a big saving on running costs . The clothes are soft to touch and need little or no ironing when the cycle is finished . Big choice of drying programmes and heat levels including a quick dry . It is a condenser dryer too but you can easily attach it to an outlet pipe so there is no need to empty the tank manually. am really pleased with this purchase ??
