I visited your link and...
I clicked on 'A romantic dream or reality' poem... I loved the angel heading his halo as if it was a football... perhaps that's what angels really do: I wonder what happened to lucifer's :-P
Depending on the location of your washer in the kitchen you might eliminate the obstructing section of worktop and stack the dryer on top... so you can have more cabinets on the ground... just a thought. Congratulations for your new purchase... and for your poems too of course :-) | ||

I have first hand experience of a hotpoint ultima ctd80 condenser tumble dryer.
It is excellent, clothes are always dry within a reasonable time, and evenly. We have a dyson washing machine which has a 78litre drum which is fairly big, the dryer copes very well. Most loads take around 1 hour 20 mins, less or more depending on garments. The machine is used a lot, sometimes two or three times a day, it's never let us down and no problems at all. Hope this helps and all the best | ||

Interesting... The highest scoring Hoover Condenser dryer in the Which? reports (the Hoover VHC 391) scores 52% overall. They don't appear to have tested the Aquavision models yet. Matt | ||

Nrones I'm impressed!
I was a Which? member for a while up to the end of last year and Hoover tumble dryers (both vented and condensing) were always scoring lowish unfortunately except for their washer-dryers.
Some Hoover washer-dryers were scoring as high as the 'best buy' units but for some reason they weren't awarded the title of 'best buy'... it might have had something to do with the overall 'below average' reliability score of the brand (given by Which? members) which goes beyond Which? decision making through testing... however, I guess, this still affects their final verdict. | ||

Don't be confused...
Just follow your heart mate... there's nothing wrong with a little bit of awareness, I'm sure you don't expect it to blow up as soon as you plug it in but don't expect it to keep running smoothly for 10 or 20 years. You know what you're spending will fit the bill and you'll have to be prepared to shrug your shoulders if, say, in 2, 3 or 4 years' time, your dryer will require a repair. It might not be the case: I wonder how old dydon2drum's condenser is.
It seems potluck nowadays with many appliances anyway... not just Hotpoint... but as for Candy GrandO I cannot quite agree with FL1012 comment above... I don't own one myself but my aunt does and it's been running perfectly since 2006 (1 of the first grandO I think) although it's used moderately, I know a few people who are utterly satisfied with their GrandOs and last, but not the least, we have 'Nrones' in this forum who owns not one, but two Candy GrandOs and he strikes me every time with his passion for this brand... I've never seen anyone with such a vivid enthusiasm for an appliance manufacturer as Nrones and this has been possible thanks to the GrandO itself (although he had an old Candy previously). Bye ;-) PS: whatever dryer you get, it'll be nice if you posted a pic here when you do. Thanks. | ||

I too have witnessed a work colleague Mouldy Kitchen caused by a Condesing Hotpoint/Indesit/Creda dryer.
Under the work surface where it is kept is covered in mould and its attacked the worktops integrity. All down the wall it backs onto is mouldy and her kitchen gets quite fugged up and "close" when its on. They are the worst condensing dryers I have ever come across. Considering the decent weather we are getting now Id wait and save a bit more money for a Zanussi - there really cant be any hardship in waiting a few weeks. Wash ahead and use clothes horses to their full ability and potential to stay ahead of the game etc. Brand loyalty or not nothing makes up for the damage done and extra expense one quite clearly will need to use to sort out the damage these things are causing! Which is actually quite right in what they say. | ||

From one bear to another ....
Kevin
I have used a Hotpoint Condensor dryer for the last 8 years - at the time it was a VERY good price when money was somewhat short. It does not get that much use as there is only me and I will line dry when I can. Th drier has needed one reapir since I got it when it was not heating. Fortunatly there is a shop near my work and I was able to take it in there, no call out charges. I have had not other problems with it with it at all otherwise, although the condensing unit is a bugger to clean. A quick run in a Hoovermatic soon sorted that though (I am not joking). Good luck with your purchase Al | ||

Dont Tar Them All
With The Same Brush...as often happens here - with no explaination given!!!
The Hotpoint Ultima and Aqualtis models have a better build and so dont suffer loss of condensation as much as the aquarius range....saying that if kept in a cooler room even the aquarius range will operate much better, and if kept clean and fluff free - energy wise even better!! The best delivery and after care of many brands who undertake the warranty themselves is Hotpoint Indesit Group by a mile at the moment, cheers, Mike p.s. Washing Condenser Filters in a Hoovermatic..."Whatever next"...LOl | ||

Hotpoinr Aquarius
Excellent Kevin, keep it tip top and it will serve you well, dont forget to register for your 5yr parts guarantee..
I usually de-fluff any dryer whilst I`m passing with the vac, and its very easy to defluff the condenser box, just stick it under the shower and blast the fluff out, this is the one part that will pay to keep it squeeky clean!!! Enjoy, Mike | ||
