Designed for busy, mediumsized households, it offers a generous 8kg capacity and 14 versatile programmes, including smart sensordrying technology and a convenient Timed Drying option.

Precision Drying Made Effortless: Advance Sensory Dry Technology lets you choose from Store Dry, Hang Dry, or Iron Dry, and the dryer automatically stops the moment your clothes reach the perfect level. This smart system protects your garments, prevents overdrying, saves valuable time, and uses only the energy needed .
Smart Control at Your Fingertips: Stay connected with One Touch Technology, giving you the power to link the dryer directly to your Android smartphone. Unlock extra programmes, keep an eye on your drying cycles in real time, and run quick diagnostic checks — all from your device.
Convenient, Personalized Loads: With 14 versatile programmes, you'll always find the perfect setting for whatever you're drying.
