This is my new Miele tumble dryer from Mumsnet.
Which arrived very speedily, very efficient delivery a couple of months ago now.
It's beautiful we love it!
We're a family of five. We've got two little ones and a baby.
We get through an awful lot of washing what with my riding gear and the boys sports kits,
so we need a dryer with big capacity.
It's got a really deep drum that fits in masses.
So if you're like me you're drying big loads of bulky items: Duvet covers, sheets, towels.
Then that big drum is a real advantage.
It looked like it would be plenty big for all of our drying needs!
This bit here is the fragrance pod. So I've turned that down for the nappies because I
didn't want them to have any extra chemicals in for the baby,
but I'm going to turn that about half way up for our clothes as that adds a nice fresh
fragrance to them which is fantastic.
My last tumble dryer never dried jeans totally dry, they always had to go in the airing cupboard
for a bit which was one stage extra that you didn't need.
But this one will dry it super dry and has got a range of ways to dry. So some of the
programmes which are marked you can select different levels of dry:
Wether it's hand iron, extra dry or just normal.
Towels for example, we don't do until they're extra dry.
We just do until they're almost dry and then put them in the airing cupboard.
The light inside the drum is absolutely fantastic. I didn't think it would be as good as it is
but the kids love it.
Now the next thing you'll notice is how very quiet it is.
You could quite easily have a conversation with anybody, talk on the phone with anybody.
At the moment it's saying it's going to take an hour, although there is a sensor inside
so obviously, at some point it will detect how dry, or wet,
or whatever the magical tumble dryer does.
And this keeps changing. As the load progresses, this obviously keeps counting down.
The machine works out how much time it needs.
It's already altered it's estimated drying time.
It's gone right down to 1:48.
The good thing about this dryer is the clothes have come out dry, but they're not cooked
and they're not particularly creased so in actual fact it's very easy just to fold these
up and put them straight away.
This is all the baby's nappy things. Re-usable wipes and baby quite thick bamboo for the
baby's reusable nappies and they're all completely solidly dry.
When I was line drying these at home just on an airer they would take a good day.
A good 24 hours to dry so thank goodness for the tumble dryer making everything much quicker!
It has a condenser and this is the condenser thing. As you can see you very easily pour
it down the sink when you're finished with it.
And you can also use the water in it for ironing, because it doesn't have any calcium in it.
And then the filter is at the front here and again, very easy to remove and clean so that
there isn't any fluff in the washing.
It's a very nice looking machine. It is £1000...
And the last tumble dryer I got was about £350. The last tumble dryer has a smaller
drum, it's maybe less efficient at drying.
So I think it depends on what's important to people when they have a tumble dryer.
We're just really pleased with it.
I would never have thought that paying £1000 on a tumble dryer would get you a better tumble
dryer than one you've got.
But it definitely does and I would really recommend it to anyone else.
Very much all in all a very very good machine.
It's been a brilliant machine and we love it thank you Miele!
