Hotpoint C HSD 82M BB UK 8kg Heat Pump Tumble Dryer – Black
Let's be honest, a tumble dryer is a workhorse, not a glamorous appliance. But a good one? It can genuinely make your life easier. This Hotpoint model is one of the good ones, especially if you've got a busy family and maybe a pet or two shedding all over the place.
First off, the 8kg capacity is the real sweet spot. It's big enough to handle a full week's worth of towels or the kids' sports kits, but it won't dominate your utility room. The black finish is pretty smart, too—it hides fingerprints and just gets on with the job.
Now, the pet hair cycle. If you have a dog or cat, you know the struggle is real. This cycle is a proper game-changer. It doesn't just tumble; it gives a burst of steam that seems to coax all that embedded hair right out, so it ends up in the filter and not back on your black trousers. It's one of those features you didn't know you needed until you have it.
It's also clever with your clothes. The sensor drying means you can just press a button and walk away—no more guessing and ending up with crispy, over-dried laundry. It just seems to know when things are dry, which saves energy and is kinder to your favourite jumpers. And the reverse tumbling? It actually works to stop everything from bundling up into a giant, damp knot.
A huge plus for us is that it's happy in a garage. We've all been there, putting an appliance in a cold space and watching it struggle. This one, with its ColdGuard tech, works perfectly right down to freezing point. And because it's a heat pump, it recycles its heat. Our electricity bill has definitely noticed the difference compared to our old one—it's far less thirsty for power.
Little things we appreciate: the light inside the drum (why don't all dryers have this?), the filter that's a doddle to clean, and how quiet it is. You can have a conversation in the same room without raising your voice.
In a nutshell? It's a proper, solid, clever dryer. It doesn't ask for much attention, it saves you money on your bills, and it gets the job done with zero fuss. What more could you want?
