The three of times I have used it it’s been great. No problems to date. So 5 stars

Brilliant easy to operate seems economical

It's taken a few uses to suss out how this machine operates. The programmes initially seem very long (eg three hours), but the machine does alter this as items dry. I do not generally separate laundry into towels, sheets, t shirts, synthetics etc, just light and dark. I have found that the machine stops as soon as any of the items are dry. If I am around, I pull out the dry items and set it off again. It still takes considerably less than 3 hours to dry a fairly large load. Our machines are stacked by a wall so I do find the lights near the top on the dual control hard to see, and where to touch the buttons is not as obvious as it could be. If you are going to stack, you may heed a short extension cable. Although our sockets are at the current standard height from the floor for the UK, the cable was 10cm too short to reach the socket. I don't find that this machine produces as much fluff as my previous one so I am hoping that means it's gentler on the laundry and clothes etc might last longer. The machine uses a lot less power than our previous vented machine, so if it lasts the same time (14years), the heat pump system should be a worthwhile investment and ease my conscience a little by having less of an impact on the environment.

Quiet and efficient. Not the fastest but it doesn't make the room hot and humid like our previous one did. Filters are easy to clean. The drying sensor works well and automatically adjusts the programme time to avoid over-drying.

Love this dryer. It's energy efficient, easy to use and pretty much does what it promises to do. It's easy to empty the water out as collection is at the top, not near the floor. I am really happy with the performance. I was one of the lucky ones to get one of these as I have noticed most of the sharp pump dryers are selling out everywhere. Be quick to buy, you won't regret it.

Really good tumbler. The lint filter is in two parts and a bit of a faff to undo.

Perfect

So far, so amazing. Coming from using a combi washer/dryer, this standalone tumble dryer is 'amazing'. Even the owners manual tells you which setting is the one you'll be using mostly and its true. Laundry is coming out just right every time. We chose it because it has an internal catch tank for the condensate but can also be plumbed in/drained via a hose (When I get around to sorting it). The drum is cavernous and the integral internal light is just one of those things you didn't know you needed but its brilliant for rummaging around in there. If I was nit-picking, and this really is nit-picky, the manufacturer does advise 'very regularly' have to clean the lint filter after every use, clean the door sill and keep an eye on the heat exchanger for dust/lint build up etc... This is perhaps not a set and forget, maintenance free dryer if that's what you're after. I for one will be looking after my (not small) investment and doing exactly what the handbook asks me to do. Not a problem! You should definitely consider this dryer as your next drying appliance.
