We love this dryer so much! You get what you pay for with this one :-)

After struggling to dry clothes during a wet and cold New Zealand winter and wanting to avoid making my house damp, I decided to buy a dryer. I reviewed lots of heat pump dryers as I was unfamiliar with the newish heat pump technology and didn’t want to buy an inefficient dryer that uses loads of electricity. The reviews were very mixed and after being told by Harvey Norman (New Zealand) staff that the majority of heat pump dryers don’t work very well as the drum doesn’t turn both ways with intelligent moisture sensors, I was persuaded to buy either LG or Miele as these ones do indeed turn both ways (Miele also has two sensors). Although, I was then told that they didn’t have any stock until September due to Covid-19. Fortunately, when I looked at the Miele website, they had stock for the 8kg which I wanted, so purchased the TCE 630 WP 8KG dryer in July 2020. Used it over 20 times on different settings and it works perfectly (I’m cleaning the filter and emptying the water every time which takes less then 1 minute). When drying thick cotton clothes you do need to select ‘extra dry’. The time the shows up at the beginning of the cycle is just an indication and it changes (normally less) once the machine works out the moisture level after a few minutes. So in summary, if you are unsure I would always go with the premium brands like Miele
