Having had our Bauknecht gave up the ghost in almost daily linen quickly forth a new device. From specialist was recommended only a Siemens or Miele to buy equipment because the quality of all other companies in his opinion, is significantly worse. Of the new heat pump equipment he advised against because they are still "in its infancy" and stuck it much too expensive. For cost reasons, we had planned to buy a cheap noname unit ... were but after talking to the person skilled yet again dissuaded ... (it was a consultation in which it was clear that we do not buy anything there, so the trust) The dryer has almost all the important programs and functions. The key for me was that it is quiet, as it is with us on the washing machine in the kitchen. Quiet is relative, but for a dryer that is definitely quiet! Whoever says otherwise has no Trocknererfahrung.Ich sit down not just to eat in the kitchen and do in the dryer, but I can cook or clean without that I'm deaf. That was definitely not in the predecessor. Herewith for me so far only drawback: the dryer has no delay start. That was practically at the other, because I was able to program it for or if I was not at home at night (a half star deduction if that were here) The programs are sufficient and good. The laundry is if you look at the instructions keep you dry (at overloading or very different materials slightly damp). Good is also the wool finish program. The price first deters some, but I think the dryer is level. We use it almost every day since about 5 weeks, and are completely satisfied. Except for the outdoor program everything is tested multiple times. Even water tank and lint can easily empty. I would buy the dryer immediately and highly recommend him. Shipping with Amazon as always super. Just in time for the desired date.
