Can't give five stars as we haven't used all the programmes but those we have used have been excellent. The countdown timer is a particular advantage. It's quieter than our previous vented one (AEG) and holds more. The condensed water can be used for houseplants as a bonus.

Seems very good - could possibly be 5 stars but only just starting to use it. Recommended by a member of the family for efficiency and the drying outcomes. Longer drying times (very cost effective I’m told) but so far the gentler drying method gives the clothes a lovely pleasant, soft feel.

So far so good, easy to use and easy to empty/clean filters.

Having upgraded from a very old vented dryer which only had a timer, it took some getting used to having so many settings! The only slight drawback is it's a bit noisier than my old machine but I just keep the door closed when it's running. However, it's proved to be a worthwhile purchase; the drum is huge so I can dryer larger loads, the smart sensor means I'm not overdrying laundry, it's quick and easy to clean the lint filter and empty the water tank, my utility room is no longer humid and you have the peace of mind you're using an energy efficient appliance.

Good range of drying options and easy to use. Clothes come out cupboard dry and no issues with shrinkage alon anything yet. Is a little loud.

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.

Purchased to replace an older tumble drier. The 'new' heat pump technology was a mystery to me. You need to trust the settings as a drying cycle takes much longer than the machine it replaced. This intuitively seems to be a negative, it is not. The machine uses less electricity than the one it replaced even though it runs for much longer. It also seems kinder to clothes, as it doesn't get so hot but does dehumidify to dry. Good quality product, made in Turkey, by one of the worlds biggest white goods manufacturers who licence the Sharp name, so not shipped half way round the world, if you like that sort of thing. Very happy with my purchase.

Haven’t had it long but works well and very quiet
