Thanks for the review. I have a Grundig (rebadged BEKO) heat pump dryer, which drys very well and uses very little electricity according to the smart meter. Unfortunately I have yet to find a program with reverse tumble, meaning a bedding set is quickly tumbled into a notted ball - dry duvet cover with wet sheet and pillowcases rolled inside. I have to stop the cycle several times to untangle, which is seriously annoying after owning a vented dryer, which would reverse tumble every few minutes on every cycle. I always make sure the duvet cover is buttoned and the reverse tumble setting is switched on but this only seems to activate after the cycle has finished to reduce creasing until the dryer is emptied. I use the Cotton program as it allows for a full load, so I will try the bedding program (if it has one) next. I do use the refresh feature on clean clothes if it's wet outside and it works, otherwise 30 mins on the line does the same thing. For those of you looking at your first heat pump dryer, try to ensure it has a true reverse tumble feature, rather than one that simply reverse tumbles at the end of a program to reduce creasing. I would also prioritise a machine with a self-cleaning condenser as cleaning these things is otherwise a very regular part of the heat pump ownership experience. If you don't clean them after every few uses, the condenser fins quickly become clogged with lint. Unlike many dryers, the Beko/Grundig models come with 2 x filters (one within the other) in the door but nothing in front of the condenser. Our previous Candy heat pump dryer had a removable foam filter in front of the condenser and a single filter in the bottom of the door aperture, which seems to be a common. Not only was this layout very easily cleaned but it also kept the condenser much cleaner than the Beko system of just two filters in the door aperture. As previously recommended, go for a self-cleaning condenser if finances allow and if not, I would look for something with a foam condenser filter.
I have an older beko with the foam filter unit at the bottom and it has served us well for the last 10 years , why has beko moved away from the foam filter ? And what is the best current model to go for with the foam filter ?
I wonder if lords Electical will open a show room in Derby because Derby has no electrical stores in the centre of Derby with the nearest electrical store over 6 miles away.
Thanks for the review.

Looks good. Does it feel sturdy and well made? Thanks
Yes they are very good actually i'm very impressed.
Can u do a lg
Thank you… I have the dbbu8112gawos does this have a water unit or do I need use the condenser tube? Thanks
It looks like it has a container to empty the water, but if you have a condenser tube and waste outlet, then i would personally try and use that.
