Thanks for the review. I have a Grundig (rebadged BEKO) heat pump dryer, which drys very well and uses very little electricity according to the smart meter. Unfortunately I have yet to find a program with reverse tumble, meaning a bedding set is quickly tumbled into a notted ball - dry duvet cover with wet sheet and pillowcases rolled inside. I have to stop the cycle several times to untangle, which is seriously annoying after owning a vented dryer, which would reverse tumble every few minutes on every cycle. I always make sure the duvet cover is buttoned and the reverse tumble setting is switched on but this only seems to activate after the cycle has finished to reduce creasing until the dryer is emptied. I use the Cotton program as it allows for a full load, so I will try the bedding program (if it has one) next. I do use the refresh feature on clean clothes if it's wet outside and it works, otherwise 30 mins on the line does the same thing. For those of you looking at your first heat pump dryer, try to ensure it has a true reverse tumble feature, rather than one that simply reverse tumbles at the end of a program to reduce creasing. I would also prioritise a machine with a self-cleaning condenser as cleaning these things is otherwise a very regular part of the heat pump ownership experience. If you don't clean them after every few uses, the condenser fins quickly become clogged with lint. Unlike many dryers, the Beko/Grundig models come with 2 x filters (one within the other) in the door but nothing in front of the condenser. Our previous Candy heat pump dryer had a removable foam filter in front of the condenser and a single filter in the bottom of the door aperture, which seems to be a common. Not only was this layout very easily cleaned but it also kept the condenser much cleaner than the Beko system of just two filters in the door aperture. As previously recommended, go for a self-cleaning condenser if finances allow and if not, I would look for something with a foam condenser filter.
I have an older beko with the foam filter unit at the bottom and it has served us well for the last 10 years , why has beko moved away from the foam filter ? And what is the best current model to go for with the foam filter ?
I just bought this dryer today wish me luck l tey first time with some jacket on it wqs perfect perfect but if u don't have many clothes make a little bit more noise
@lords-electrical I paid extra for insurance,just in case but allways wanted a dryer,the expense put me off but we've just moved into a tiny house with not much outdoor space so treated myself.
I wonder if lords Electical will open a show room in Derby because Derby has no electrical stores in the centre of Derby with the nearest electrical store over 6 miles away.
Being a heat pump dryer, it will run at a lower temperature than a standard condenser or vented dryer, but it should still be warm when drying not cool.
Hi, I wounder if you could give me an advice please? My machine doesn't pump water to the water tank anymore and does clicking noise too. What could be a problem of it? Thank you very much.
The non-removable condenser unit is such an obvious design flaw. Beko would obviously rather make you buy a new machine than give you the option to properly clean the condenser unit. I have one of these machines, and the brush they supply with the machine to clean the condenser fins does a pitifully poor job. You can use a more substantial brush like a paint brush, but you'll never get it fully clean, and some dust will *always* be pushed further in, eventually causing the machine to cease functioning correctly. Making the condenser unit non-removable is actually a backward step in design, and the only reason I can think that they do it is to limit the lifespan of their equipment. Beko really are generally really terrible machines. Buying a Bosch or a Siemens may require a bit more initial outlay, but the design and engineering on their pieces is of a much higher standard, and the increased longevity more than offsets the higher price tag.
Thanks for the review.

@@dontcare32123 I heard heat pump dryers don't come with reverse action

How is your experience so far? does it dry clothes completely?
Thank you just got mine home.
Hope you enjoy the new dryer and it gives you years of good service

Hello would you recommend this or the hot point creasecare ntm9kg heat pump dryer? Thanks
I want to purchase this dryer however I have a question: How goes that 236kwh/year like with everyday use or couple loads / week etc?
Looks good. Does it feel sturdy and well made? Thanks
Yes they are very good actually i'm very impressed.
is the door reversible ?
Thank you… I have the dbbu8112gawos does this have a water unit or do I need use the condenser tube? Thanks
It looks like it has a container to empty the water, but if you have a condenser tube and waste outlet, then i would personally try and use that.
Where is the water unit located? Is it at the back?
Where does the heat go when in use
It will go out of the vent at the front of the dryer
Which dryer causes least condensation, vented, condensor or heat pump?
On the whole it will be heat pump as they operate at a lower temperature so will cause less condensation.
Does the dryer actually warm up or does it just run on cool program
Being a heat pump dryer, it will run at a lower temperature than a standard condenser or vented dryer, but it should still be warm when drying not cool.
i want to buy a Heat Pump Tumble Dryer 8kg , can u tel me what the best for the job? so many brands, LG\AEG\BOSH ? or other ( not mile ) thanks
You are correct there are a lot of models to choose from. The main brand we sell is Bosch and they are great and reliable machines.
@lords-electrical its better with automátic clean or manual? WQG235D0ES
Its a good One?
Hi, I wounder if you could give me an advice please? My machine doesn't pump water to the water tank anymore and does clicking noise too. What could be a problem of it? Thank you very much.
Does sound odd, i wonder if it could be an issue with the pump in the dryer if it isn't taking the water through to the water tank any more
There's no water in the bottom reservoir and the condenser doesn't feel cold either.

Can u do a lg
