When I bought my house just over 7 years ago, my parents and my sisters clubbed together to get me a tumble dryer as a present. At the time, I was not convinced I would use it much, but over the years it has proved to be a very useful present. Because it was a gift, I don't know what they paid or where from, and I certainly did not get to choose which model was bought for us. As a family, we are loyal to the hotpoint brand for most appliances. In fact, it is only in the past year I have bought any other branded large appliance. Coming from a family with 4 kids, and also living with my grandma, our appliances in my childhood home had to ...  Read the complete review

Having just reviewed my Hotpoint Aquarius washing machine, I thought I would follow it with a review of my matching tumble dryer. This does not get as much use as the washing machine, as I am aware of how unfortunately heavy on electricity dryers are! However, I have been using it long enough to share my views on it. --The machine itself-- This dryer is incredibly easy to use. The only controls you have are the high/low heat button and the dial for selecting drying time. This is great, as there's no real need for any other options and this would only complicate. The dial is clearly marked, and easy to turn to the selected duration. The high/low heat ...  Read the complete review

As a mum with one kid that loves to get dirty, and a live in boyfriend that is just as bad, I do an awful lot of washing. In summer, I can usually hang the washing on the line and have it dry quickly, but in winter or on rainy days, a tumble dryer makes the work a lot easier . I actually purchased this machine second hand about a year ago, paying just £70. As it was second hand, I can't comment on the users manual, not having seen it . The tumble dryer is white in colour, and measures 85 cm high, by 59.5 wide and 55cm deep. This was a good size for my kitchen - in fact I had the perfect space ready for it . The machine is heavy, and takes two ...  Read the complete review

If you've been spending hours trawling the internet looking for a tumble dryer, look no further. This review discusses Hotpoint's Aquarius VTD00P, which, in my opinion, is one of the most effective tumble dryers available. The reason I make this statement is that my husband and I have owned this appliance for a few years and have used it on a regular basis without experiencing any problems whatsoever. The tumble dryer is the same size to that of your standard washing machine (85cm high, 59cm wide and 55cm deep) and as it is front loading it can be neatly stored under your kitchen worktop. However, to enable sufficient ventilation, there should be ...  Read the complete review

With a young family I find that I am probably washing clothes most days in this house and although I know that it is more environmentally friendly to dry clothes outdoors I would not be without my tumble drier for anything! For the last couple of years I have been relying on my trusted Hotpoint VTD00P which has done a fantastic job of drying all types and sizes of clothes. It was bought from Currys for only £159.95 including the vent which seemed pretty good value to me. You could spend up to about £300 on a Hotpoint drier so this is quite a basic model at the lower end of the range. It is a standard size drier which will fit into a typical space under a unit. ...  Read the complete review
