condenser dryer recommendations please

[shirlthegirl43]

Madmax has given up repairing my Whirlpool condenser dryer and the time has come to relent and buy a new one.

Any suggestions for a good make to try?

Was gonna suggest Whirlpool cos that's what the one we bought 6 yrs ago is.

Typical! Cheers for the suggestion Manda.

ours has been okay but the repairing bit (impeller shaft) has now gone well beyond a joke and they want £90 for a replacement part. Doesn't seem worth it as the machine has been well-used and I suspect other bits are due to give up soon.

My Mum has a Hotpoint Aqualtis - If you hit the 'sensordry' button it works it all out for you and tells you when it's done. She has the Aqualtis Washer too - it cleans better than anything I've ever used, and has a dozen different settings. They're so easy to use even my Dad can do it!

I didn't know Mrs BM was your mum .............cos she also has an Aqualtis washer & dryer. The washer is so quiet, you can easily forget it is on.............

Cheers everyone.

Just been and bought a Beko. Not really the one I wanted but the Hoover one that really took my fance (good buy in the sale) had the water chamber right at the bottom which would have been a right pain.

Financial constraints and practicality led to the choice I made. It is a sensordry one so I am now getting to know the ins and outs of that!

We have a hoover one with a water chamber at the bottom, it is like a big plastic bottle, really easy to take out and to empty as it slots in and as you pull it out the water goes to the bottom so it doesn't spill, had ours for six years and has been really reliable.
