Hi Paul,
I bought an AEG heat pump dryer earlier thiis year and I have to say I have been pleasantly surprised with it. As tumble dryers go, it was on the pricey side but I did get a good deal with AO.com at the time. The main reason I decided on a heat pump dryer was due to the energy efficiency (the one I have is A rated.) In terms of drying time, I must say I was pleasantly surprised. The digital display does tend to over egg the drying times to start with but the sensor is really good and the machine dries perfectly. For example, a full load of cottons on the cupboard dry programme always starts out at 3 hours 28 minutes but in the 10 months I've had it, the programme has never run for longer than two hours absolute maximum, even on towel loads. The AEG has also provided a welcome relief from having to flush out the heat exchanger as I have previously had to do with other condenser dryers. All this one needs is a quick vacuum with a dusting brush attachment on every month or so. I can't speak for other brands of course as I haven't experienced heat pump dryers from other manufacturers but I have heard some people say they are noisier than their conventional counterparts. I honestly don't find the noise level of mine any worse than my previous Hotpoint condenser dryer. Hope this helps! Saj |

Hi Saj6952 I looked at that review and made me swing towards Beko. Cheers Paul |

Certanly not ages. They are slower, but not by much. Our A++ rated Bauknecht drys a well spun load of heavy towels in less then 2h, a load of 4-5 jeans in about 80 minutes. Thats all cold start times, they tend to be about 10% shorter if a load has been run soon before. Only thing, as said, tangeling is a bigger issue. |

I have the beko DSX83410W a++ rated dryer it is efficient but it takes roughly for an 8kg load spun at 1400 around 2.5 hours to dry but this dryer has saved us £40 in the first month it's deffo worth the lon drying times
