Do not buy Hotpoint, Creda, Indesit or Ariston - that is all.

At the moment im using airer things that hang off radiators.

The cheapest ive seen is White Knight

Got a Bosch one here. It's quality but was quite a bit more than £95

no point in going down the 'cheap' route as you get what you pay for where tumble dryers are concerned imo.

Problem is ive only got about £100 to spend

Have you looked on eBay second hand? You'll get much more for your money.

Agreed. It's best going second hand with that budget IMO.

local admag or similiar? I had an american dryer to match our top loading washer but when it died 3 years ago I couldn't afford £300+ to replace it so bought a Hoover from my buddy at empire direct. Knowing how poor Hoover are I expected it to last the years warranty but surprisingly it's not been touched except a new plug and it's still going strong.

Indish#t stuff should be avoided at all costs - as posts aboce that means no hotpoint / creda as well.

Go second hand.

Ignore all the nay sayers it's a tumble dryer which is ridiculously simple technology and any brand will generally last long enough for it to be no big deal to just get a new one when it dies.

It would pay that group to sweeten you up mate, lol.

For £95 expect something designed to last for 3 years.

As you know I was their Quality Technician for 27 years so I know how bad their stuff is.
You already know because you repair their stuff (over & over).

I bought a £95 white knight from B&Q in September and it's brilliant. As long as you don't over-load it and vent correctly it'll do the job nicely.

My mum just got one of those yesterday after her second hand Hotpoint died after about 10 years of abuse, and god knows how many years from it's previous owner.

This. The wrapping these are packed in is better quality.

Second hand white goods shop, better to get a decent one second hand than a **** one new.
