Hoover H-DRY 300 LITE Freestanding Vented Tumble Dryer, 10 Kg, Class C, NFC & hOn App, Anti-Allergy & Advanced Care, White, 59.6x60.7x85 cm - HLE V10DG-80

This is for me definitely worth the money, you have lots of settings even a wool cycle, it's quiet and easy to clean out after and has a large enough drum to dry a full wash load with ease. The downsides to this dryer are as such the one touch no longer works as you download the app to connect the dryer to be given a notification that it no longer works so that function is mute. The other downside is blankets and bedding yes the dryer will dry them nicely but you do have to shake them halfway through as they will ball up during the drying cycle, this isnt a deal breaker for me as it's a small thing to have to do but it will dry everything nicely and leave your items lovely and soft. Apart from the two downsides mentioned I do love this dryer and have been using it everyday several times a day as I have kids and a dog so I do end up with more laundry than I would like. Cleaning out this dryer is so easy the lint catcher is large and simple to clean. For me this dryer has been worth the money I spent buying it.

Vented tumble dryers are not the most energy efficient these day, but the vent for our old one was already in place, and other types of dryer seemed to suffer with condensation issues so it made sense to stick with what we knew. Also, it's a shame that there seem to be fewer built-in options these days. I wonder why that is? Anyway, although I've only had it a day I have used it four times already, so for what it's worth, this is what I have found: 1) Not particularly energy efficient, but it is a vented tumble dryer, so never going to be the most energy efficient out there. We can live with that. 2) Not very easy at first glance to decipher the various settings. No 'low, medium and high' here. We have many confusing options such as 'Small' 'XXL' 'Mix & Dry' 'One Touch' 'Sport Plus' and so on..... (see pic) I'm sure it will all make sense after studying the instructions for a year or two. I'll come back to you on that one.......... 3) On the plus side, it is a relatively compact machine, considering it is replacing a machine that was about the same physical size, yet it takes 10Kg of clothes, 2Kg more than our old one! 4) Another plus, it is much quieter than our old machine. I'm sure our neighbours three doors away will be much happier. So, in summary, for a low priced machine with a fair few features, it is well worth considering. Once I get to grips with the menu options, I'm sure I will settle on two or three regularly used settings. We have yet to try the app, but doubt that we will be using it much, if at all. Would I buy it again? Yes! Very pleased so far. Also, the seller, Crampton And Moore, were most efficient. Their delivery estimate was spot on, and their driver phoned me twenty minutes before delivery so we were all psyched up and ready for when they arrived. No issues whatsoever with the machine or the seller. Recommended!

DO NOT BUY!! I wish I had heeded the warning in the reviews I read - how true they turned out to be. Worked for 2 months, then started stopping after 5/10 mins saying clothes dry or lint filter clogged. After several attempts to get someone from Hoover to come look at it as it’s currently an expensive clothes tumbler (WhatsApp chat, live, chat, automated call, finally a live person call. Each time having to give the same information. Engineer visit booked, but been told that they will charge me £69 if “they deem the issue to be my fault”. If they do that they will be taking the machine away with them in their van as I don’t want it nor do I want to pay extra just to have something work the way it’s supposed to. Will be staying well away from Hoover in future!

Good dryer with lots of different choices I am still getting used to using it. Does a good job but takes a while to dry items.

Great dryer. Am using it in a cold conservatory with high humidity it works fine. Vented through wall. Temperature at the moment is about 8 degrees and 80 percent humidity. Clothes dry nicely. I've not had any problems with bedsheets going into a ball. I went vented as I already have condensation problems in the house and do not want to add to it. Also we need Clothes dried fast. I've not yet figured out how to turn the rapid on. A typical cycle is about 1 to 1.5 hours. I will need rapid at some point so will read the manual . This replaced the condenser dryer. The missus reckons the vented is better its definitely faster.

Works great

I’ve always had a vented dryer, usually another brand. This time I thought will switch to Hover, it was at a reasonable price. Looks all fancy and a 10kg drum, I previously had 7kgs, which I thought would be great as we are a family of 6. The machine is complicated to use, I’m not finding the functionality easy at all. The manual is really Bo help. So far I’ve been using it from moment of install and the drying time is taking ages compared to my previous machine. A winter blanket that my old dryer would have fully dried in 45 mins, this machine after 1.5hrs it was still patchy in areas, same with towels. I’m really disappointed and should have paid more attention to the other reviews.

Still very new to me. It's more complicated than my old one. It does what I bought if for it dries the laundry really quickly. Sadly the sheets go into a ball and there's not a reverse action to help stop that. I called the after sales team as I had to untangle a duvet cover 5 or 6 times, they said to split the load, I asked him how I do that with a duvet cover and he had no response. So sadly although I am pleased with the dryer it dries everything fast but cant seem to get round the balling issue with sheets and duvet cover.
