Probably deserves four and three-quarters.
4/5
This dryer is far superior to my old one: the drum is bigger, it doesn't send hot air out into the environment, and it uses less energy. It does have a start delay, which is important to me, because we have Economy 7 electricity, so it needs to start in the night. The laundry comes out less creased and easier to iron.
The only reason I have knocked a star off is that I find there are so many choices that the controls are difficult to use. I am old, and I have to go and find my glasses to set it. Once I made a mistake, and the laundry was still damp.
I suppose I am fussy to complain about too many choices, but such is life.
