wasn’t sure about this type of dryer, but completely wrong. Initial drying time often quoted on screen as several hours but once started time continually changed and in some cases drying time was only 30 minutes. Clothes are dried but not dried out. Have used for several weeks now and have mastered the settings! You need to read the manual (simple) to understand how the heat pump works. Confident about jeans and t shirts not shrinking, much gentler heat than conventional dryer. Don’t know about claimed power savings at the moment but very pleased with dryer.

Worst dryer I have ever had, damages and shrinks clothes, can't set temperature to low on most cycles, takes a long time to leave clothes damp and smelling musty. Can't clean the condenser and despite vacuuming regularly it is stuffed full of damp smelly fluff. Combined with Hotpoint washing machine that uses half doses, our clothes stink. We can't use conditioner because of skin conditions.

Excellent and much needed

Working perfect right I am happy with the product.

Great tumble dryer. Very economical to run and not too noisy. Plenty of programmes to choose from - all the ones I have tried have worked well. Slightly bigger than our old one and doesn't fit under the counter so check dimensions.

Super product that does what it says

Excellent product and service. Product itself is quiet and dries clothes very quickly. AO service and delivery is second to none, as usual.

I have only had it since just before Christmas (as is the tradition of a white good dying just before a significant holiday....) but I can only speak highly of this machine at the present time. Cheap to run (REALLY CHEAP) in comparison to a non heat pump machine, quieter than my old machine, easy to navigate. Delivered within a week and is happily doing its job. Glad I spent a bit more for a heat pump machine, it is significantly cheaper to run with it's A++ energy rating, I would recommend it.
