The Hoover dryer
One of the hairdressing salons I visit has the Hoover dryer and it's very funky the condensed water collects in a see through tank in the door so It looks like a washer with water in it. I would be tempted to put a few small plastic fish in it so they could float around and bob about with the movement of the dryer.

Hoover-Candy Dryers
I had a Candy CIC60 Condenser dryer quite a few years back. For a 6kg drum it was massive plus it heated to a really high temperature which made it quick at drying large cotton loads & the reverse action of the drum was timed for exactly the same length of time on clockwise & anti-clockwise tumbling which i find on my current hotpoint is not the same as it only reverse's for about 5 seconds which causes all sorts of tangling especially with large items. The only real negative thing about the CIC60 & still on a few current models is the plinth that you have to pull off to empty the water container. I find that it's very difficult to pull it off & to put it back on. It would of been more practical for the plinth to have been hinged. Saying that, the actual drums & casings of the current models have not altered since when they were made in the uk.
Oh & the new Hoover AquaVision water container in the door what a clever & practical idea. | ||

From 2012 in Europe there will be on sale only heatpump A cl
From 2012 in Europe there will be on sale only heatpump A class dryers. That's a new European Union normative.
So all the home appliances manufacturers will have their A class models. This is also a reason why Candy is about to introduce its own model of an A class dryer. The other manufacturers will do the same if they want to sell their products. Honestly speaking I wasn't (I'm not) so enthusiastic about Candy/ Hoover dryers, because of their quality. Even those made in the UK. The lint filter is awful, the lower plastic grid for the air circulation is very flimsy, etc. etc. But I have to say that I like so much this new idea about the condensed water collector on the door. It is very nice and also convenient! :) Ingemar | ||

@ HotpointF & aquarius8000
I just got a little carried away by these new Candy/Hoover products... owing to the fact that I generally like them... but I'm sure you've all gathered that by now ;-)
However, my Hotpoint dryer is still fine... only the door catch seems temperamental but is always been like that... well... almost always! Still, somehow I feel that my 8 year old Hotpoint is much sturdier than current Hotpoint models. Besides, at the current rate I'm using my dryer (I only put my clothes there after they've been hanging on the airer just to give them a final touch of tumble dry finish) it might still last for a while... and I'm sure I'm already achieving A+ energy standards by running it on low heat for short bursts LOL Anyway, if these Candy/Hoover are not astronomically expensive and I decide to replace the Hotpoint... 'HotpointFan' you'll be the first to know :-) | ||

Neat... but that's my idea LOL
Honestly... Candy must have had some spies in my house LOL
I used to use my dryer like that mix&dry programme you described cos' I often happened to have different items in my loads. Depending on how big my loads were I'd put them on high heat first for a certain length of time making sure they were still damp by the end of the cycle and then I'd reset it on low heat for a furhter half an hour or so... again, depending on how much laundry I had there. I'm not doing that anymore these days cos' the drying of my laundry is shared between the airer and the dryer... and I'm really happy with the results: no so much fluff to clean anymore! That way my clothes are keeping their fibers for longer and they don't need so much stitching (especially when the owner is some1 like me who can't even stitch a button LOL). Last quick remark about the mix&wash cycle (called by other names in different models)... I've noticed that this not only has a slower spin (max 1000rpm) but is also shorter in duration... only 5 minutes as opposed the the normal 10 minutes of the 'Cotton' spin and the 2 minutes of the 'Synth's' cycles. Cya ;-) | ||

Very clever programming of the different drying temperatures throughout the Mix&Dry programme. So nrones would the Mix&Dry programme be more energy efficient with it drying at different temperatures & taking longer to dry than a standard cotton load dried on high heat.
Thank's nrones for explaining the step by step temperature adjustments of the programme very interesting. | ||
