Good Points

It's a good big size - the water condenser is 5kg.


Bad Points

The unit seems to switch itself off when the condenser unit is only about a third full (despite the clothes being damp and the correct setting being in place).
The unit leaks water.
You also have to keep rinsing a messy unit at the bottom of the dryer.
First one delivered we had to return. We should have just got a different brand. The second delivered also played up.
I wouldn't mind the electronic components so much if they actually did their job but alas on this unit they are definitely not a feature.


General Comments

If you only want an overpriced dryer that in my case worked for 20 months only then I'd fully recommend buying it.

Otherwise I'd avoid this Hotpoint. Either get a cheapie with a view to having it for a while or invest a more costly decent brand.

If you must buy this product then definitely make sure you take out insurance or an extended warranty together with purchase. If something major goes wrong outside first 12 months then you face £160 for an extra one year of parts and service or £100 for a visit where the work is only guaranteed for 3 weeks.
