Candy CS C8DF-80 Freestanding Condenser Tumble Dryer, NFC Connected, 8 kilograms, rpm 1600, White, Noise level: decibels 68 [Energy Class B]

The media could not be loaded.  Our old air-blown tumble dryer recently broke after 20 years, so it was time to look at a replacement. After doing our research and weighing up the pros and cons of each type of dryer, we settled on a condenser dryer due to the lack of ventilation space in our kitchen. This seemed like the perfect dryer for the price and to meet our needs.This was SO the right choice of dryer. It looks a little confusing to start with; technology has moved on so much in the last 20 years and is far more than the old on/off and high/low that our old dryer had. Thankfully, after reading a little and using it a few times, it makes a lot more sense. You can also program your favourite routine via the intelligent app and transfer it to the machine via NFC.I particularly like that you can scan the machine with your phone and see how much you've used the dryer, etc.Clothes come out feeling amazing from this dryer. I've never felt tumbled clothes feel so soft and fresh. I can highly recommend this. Once you figure the settings out, it's easy to use and simple to get your clothes dried just how you want them.

This is my first condenser tumble dryer and have to say I am quite happy with it. Really easy to set up and understand the instructions. Its made a great addition to the house durables. Its also very easy to maintain - just take out the lint filter after every cycle and also empty the water container every coupe of cycles. Hope this works well for the next few years!

It's a good dryer. It works well, has a lot of space and doesn't cost much to run. I bought this with my flatmates at the start of the school year and we've experienced no faults whatsoever so far. Worth the cost for sure, especially if you live with other people and split the price.

This dryer was easy to install and use. The digital timer is a little strange, as it first showed I had over 2hr 21mins of drying time on a cotton cycle, but then it ran for about an hour and stopped, and the load was not 'iron dry' as it suggested. But that's probably more about me getting used to it and how it operates. The Smart feature says it works if your house WiFi is only broadcasting on a 2.4MHz frequency, and might oscillates between that and 5MHz. That feature helps you add new cycles or see usage stats, but doesn't let you remotely operate the machine. The water canister is right at floor level, which is not necessarily easy or convenient to get at to remove and drain regularly. Everything seems solid and well built though.

This does exactly what you want from a tumble dryer, its simple to use, with as many options as anyone could want and it does the job very well. Its reasonably quiet in use, and easy to keep clean. If you need a cheap and cheerful dryer, you could do much worse

As a bloke who is head cook - bottle wash and laundry guy I'm always looking foritems that are 1) Great value for money 2) easy to use and 3) have great reviewsfrom a good number of previous buyers and users.This ticked all the boxes for me and I have absolutely no regrets with the purchase.You dont have to listen to me check out the reviews yourself.Ten out of Ten from me

For the price I wasn't expecting much. But I bought this to replace my old (more expensive) dryer and I'm so pleased I did. Its got so many different settings and drys the clothes very quickly. The refresh setting is perfect for my 2 kids, put uniforms in for 12 min on a morning and they come out fresh, warm and crease free. Easy to use and very quiet. I highly recomend this dryer, as for the price its very good.

Have to say, have had Candy appliances in the past, and they've been great. This was awful, pretty much from the outset, noisy, the plug got hot, creates far too much heat. I would never leave a tumble dryer on and go out, but some do, so please bear in mind how hot these get. It lasted less than 2yrs, and to be honest, I was glad to replace it.
