Hello all. I hope all is well. Yesterday I went to collect a Creda Tumbler Dryer 275. I have put it on top of the Aquamatic 3, as the Compact 3 is going back to it's owners soon. Sadly the machine suffers a bit of fascia slippage. I have run the dryer only briefly and it seems to get mice and hot. It's mega quiet! Here are a few pics of the dryer. I will at some point take the cabinet off and de-fluff the dryer.

Here is pic one, on top of the Aquamatic.

It is essential...

...To clean the fluff off the mesh filter after each use.

For a change, there was no fluff on the filter!

Perhaps?

BTW, why does the machine say 'Tumbler dryer'? It doesn't seem right to me.

And finally...

The 275, Compact 3 and the Candy Aquamatic sat alongside each other.

Thanks and please comment!

Chris.

Before the mid seventies most British dryers were marketed as "tumbler dryers" because the clothes are dried in a revolving "tumbler". This was shortly shortened to "tumble dryers" because it is easier to say two syllables than three.

LOL, Paul, my Mum still calls it the "tumbler".

Nice 275, same model my grandparents in Belfast have.

Ha ha Chris, must be a north of England thing! Those Creda dryers were fantastic, I had a second hand 275 for while, I gave it to a friend when I got a bigger "tumbler"

The tumbler

Another here, that's what we always referred to it as!

In Scotland some of my customers referred to their rotary clothes lines as the "whirligig" and they had a similar name for the tumble dryer but I can't remember what it was now. Others would call it the spin dryer but I got wise to that and made sure I took my tumble dryer spares with me to such jobs!
