How does someone begin to decide to write an opinion on a tumble dryer?

Its easy in my case, I had a big shock today when battling with the washing to hear the most strangest of noises coming from my tumble dryer...indeed it sounded as though it was on its last legs.

Luckily after going a shade of white and panicking and a cup of tea (me) the machine started working as normal, big phewwwww. But I got to thinking as you do, how long had we had the machine, as well as thank goodness we do not need a new one just yet!!!

I have had my creda for thirteen years (longer than I have been married) and never had to have a repair or replacement part. I paid £79.99 at a Norweb store, younger members will not remember these shops but they had their moments, and I paid £5.00 a week, interest free, in those days it was a lot of money for a new housewife!!!
There are only two heat settings, warm and really hot, and the drum can take up to 3kg a time. The recommended drying time are as follows:

Heat setting 1kg 2kg 3kg

cottons HIGH 25min 40min 60min
synthetics HIGH 25min 40min 60min
acylics LOW 30min 70min n.a.

Typically a pair of jeans on high takes 20 minutes but obviously more items slows the drying time. I have had excellent service from my dryer, especially this last year with a new addition to the family of my daughter, not just her clothes but nappies too, so its been a busy machine and done me justice.

Still today has made me realise perhaps it is time to visit the lovely repair man and have a service, maybe there is still life in the old machine yet!! Hopefully when the inevitable does arrive I will find the same machine or similar, and the other good point about all this...ITS BRITISH!
