I dont know what the people above are on about but the dryer is simply superb. I got it to go with the equivelant Hotpoint Washing Machine and not only do they look superb its performs 10/10. It even passed my mums tests and she washes and drys everday..

Only 9 months old when it started leaking - the engineer found that the internal hoses werent installed correctly and both rubbed against the drum til holes threw water everywhere. Six service calls later it was still leaking, despite a new door seal...

i bought this machine because i thought it would be the best what a fool the first one arrived the door would not shut the second arrived it works but is so noisy never will i buy hoover products again

looks the part but doesnt deliver! this is a replacement machine as the 1st leaked from the door and couldnt be repaired. The 2nd machine dries better than the first but guess what the second one also now has a leak from the door after a few cycles!

DO NOT BUY THIS DRYER! or you'll regret it (like i did). if i were you there is a similar product from zanussi which is also a grade B, and it is cheaper with a 7kg capacity; buy that if you want a condensor dryer (though i haven't tried it myself)
