Damn good dryer!  

I bought one in 1999 as a student - wasn't going to put up with clothes on racks in the winter - and ended up giving it to my sister who lived in a flat. Did a very good job until some time in 2008 when it allegedly blew up; had I known about it I'd have had it repaired and brought it here.

My mother still has the Hotpoint equivalent TS12 from 1998 - performing as well as ever the last time I used it.

I'd hope the design has stayed much the same in the intervening years - I gather the wheels have since been deleted but whether there has been cost cutting internally is unknown (if likely). The equivalent full size dryers certainly don't appear to be as durably constructed by all accounts!
