I don't think at first they realised that 16 drying levels, was actually 16 drying programme. |

I agree with Jon, the only settings I use on my dryer are "Cupboard Dry" and "Extra Dry" and I sometimes select low heat for more delicate items, but that's it. I understand the need for different heat settings, but why on earth dryers contain different levels of "dry" is beyond me! I put things in the dryer and expect them to be dry, not damp or warm or whatever other pointless things it does.

I have to say I often find a dilemma when it comes to drying my dainties on a cold winters morning - I am never quite sure whether to use the Lingerie or the Heat and Enjoy cycle!!! |

I have tried this cycle several times and it never dried my clothes. The normal cycle runs on full heat until the load becomes damp dry, at which point the heat automatically switches to low. The cool-down is eight minutes. I suppose the 40 minutes cycle runs on full heat all the time. Cool-down is only three minutes. While the Quick cycle IS sensor-controlled, it always seems to stop with items being only 80% dry - disappointing.

I must say I have to agree somewhat in regards to dryers with lots of cycles, however I do not have first hand experience. I have a BOL vented timed dryer and find this suits my needs brilliantly. I dry everything in the dryer, jumpers, outerwear, Mikes cycling stuff....I never use the low heat setting and I've had no disasters yet. My dryer may be basic but it's quick, quiet and gets the job done and that's all I need.
