Hello! I think we briefly spoke a few times last year with regards to my search on a washing machine / tumble dryer (tumble dryer especially!), I just couldn’t make my mind up. I couldn’t even tell you the hours I’d put into researching both, the brands, the benefits of a heat pump vs a condenser, etc. I believe you’re the one that eventually swayed my decision on a condenser from a conversation we had. I line dry my clothes (which I believe you said you do too :) ), tumble drying for me is - quite literally, at the end of the drying process before folding and putting away, just to take away any potential damp areas, or the fluff towels up (since you shouldn’t use fabric softener with towels as it impacts the absorbency!) I’m also disabled, & during winter I benefit from popping a blanket in for 5 minutes and wrapping around me. It didn’t make any sense to spend all of that additional money on a heat pump tumble dryer when I would never ever put wet washing into it. I didn’t like the concept of not being able to time it myself, it just felt very ‘Americanised’ of companies to think we wash our belongings and then dump them straight into the tumble dryer when the majority of households line / air dry! I decided on this exact machine, and it was out of stock everywhere! I paid for it and waited for it to come back on AO. Perhaps that shows just how popular the turn & go dryers still are. I am slightly concerned however they’re being phased out with how few I saw on the market? Do you think this is the case? I really hope not! Having said that, I think my Indesit will last me a long time. You reminded me to check the water, barely a dribble came out and I’ve used it several times so far! Really lovely and simple piece of equipment that I hope will see me for many years to come :) Many thanks for the review and advice! Laura
You should probably suggest a "clean, dry paintbrush" rather than an old one. I can see someone with a rock hard brush covered in 2 year old gloss trying to clean the condensor😜great demo as always.
Physically it can do, but it would normally need connecting to the washer or worktop somehow rather than the dryer just sitting on the washer, so that when it is drying, it is not moving around
They can be a little stiff sometimes to get back in, but it should just slot back in. just make sure nothing has been damaged when the condenser unit has come out, and i know it sounds obvious but make sure it is the correct way up.
You will find most dryers now are single direction only which can cause an issue with some large sheets. Normally on these dryers the paddles are bigger to try and rotate the clothes in the drum but on large sheets it is quite difficult to do that so may just be a case of pausing the program to untangle the sheet part way through then carrying on with the load.
Hi, how easy or difficult is it for to connect the drain hose on the back of this dryer model to a nearby drain if I wanted to avoid needing to empty the water tank?
@@sandrikawalcott4870 Hi Sandrika, there are two vertical hoses ( see 6:12 ). Usually one of these clips out very easily to pop into a drain but just wanted to get his opinion on this model. Thanks for replying anyway though 👍
This dryer doesn't have an external vent , if you wanted the air to exit the machine through a vent hose you would need to purchase a vented tumble dryer. I wouldn't recommend putting the dryer in a cupboard as the air from the front of the dryer will not have anywhere to go and will damage the dryer long term and will cause moisture buildup in the cupboard area. If you wanted it in a cupboard i would look for an integrated dryer.
Well done mate. I think I will actually buy one after watching your video. I was a bit sceptical but you've showed me all aspects

Great feedback, thanks very much
I bet these kind of mechanical have less things to go wrong with and its a easy dryer to fix as well

Ah yes, great suggestion thank you. 👍

Thank you for this demonstration. Could this dryer be put on a kitchen countertop (above washing machine)?
Physically it can do, but it would normally need connecting to the washer or worktop somehow rather than the dryer just sitting on the washer, so that when it is drying, it is not moving around
I can't get my condenser back in, it's not as easy in the video... Help why does it not go back after being used...

Hello, the light on our dryer for the water tank looks to be ok quiet faint, would it normally be really bright?
The lights on the Indesit dryers are not too bright, so sounds about right
Looking for a tumble dryer that doesn’t roll my sheets into a ball what do you recommend please
You will find most dryers now are single direction only which can cause an issue with some large sheets.

@@lords-electrical the hotpoint 9315 was single direction

There's no drain hose
