Hisense DH3S902BW3 9KG Heat Pump Tumble Dryer - White

Great machine

Only had the machine for a couple of weeks , not too noisy. You can connect to the WiFi and it will let you know how long left of the cycle and that the water and filter needs emptying and cleaning. So good so far

Excellent dryer

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a very well built machine with a number of clever features, but it can overcomplicate things if you let it. The build quality is good. The door is reversable and the unit is well finished. It isn't winning any industrial design awards, but it looks like a decent product. The condensor tank is easy to access but it can get quite heavy when full. It drains from a single hole which could be a bit unwieldy if you're a bit on the frail side. The drum is large, verging on massive. This can swallow double duvets with ease. The drum has a light is a good touch if you're prone to losing socks in your machines. The dryer has a number of programs. Some are obvious (towels, for example, will make short work of heavy cotton), however the bit that impresses me (it shouldn't, but it does) is that the 'bedding' function is designed to stop large fabric items rolling up inside themselves - I have a sofa throw that is the size of a large double sheet made from heavy towelling material which in our old machine needed to be in for hours and frequently untangled, while this needs no interventions. It comes with a double lint filter which is easy to access and clean and seems very effective. The auto sensing seems a little pessimistic which I hope they might address in a firmware update - it seems to run for a little longer than it needs to, and that seems to be the sensor either not detecting dryness or being calibrated too far the other way. While the machine is rated for 9kg, the majority of the programs are not - I haven't had a chance to really thrash it within an inch of its life with a full 9kg load because I don't think I own a combined 9kg of fabric, but if you're looking to turn over a large quantity of fabric, it would be worth checking the instructions to make sure that the program you're looking at will support it. It is, overall, an excellent machine. It isn't too loud, the interface is user friendly, the app is quite good for alerts - especially if the laundry is done away from the main house. I'd not hesitate to recommend this.
