Review of Bush 3kg compact vented dryer TD3CNBW

[@pedrosa00]

Pretty nice review. Do the same with other machines, highly detailed review

[@moomoobearincorporation528]

That dryer next to it was the exact same model as my grandparents had in the 90s :)

Thanks for review. Just wish I seen it before I paid £120 for this. Came today. Takes ages to heat up. Turning it on anti clock wise for the heat setting did make a small difference I was turning it the other way so thanks for that tip. It will be a nightmare to send back with all the cardboard and bubble wrap it came in and expensive so I'll just keep it. Luckily I don't need to use it that often

Possibly why it is crap ~ looked at the electrical schematic and the heater is labelled “PTC heater” - PTC = positive thermal coefficient, or simply a ceramic heater element, these throttle themselves when they get hot and reduce the power consumption ~ and recently, heater fans now have this “efficient” element in them, as the “traditional” resistive nichrome wire element has been demonised for being inefficient.

[@whichwasher2007]

Clearly though it's not more efficient as it's just as energy consuming as a traditional coil heater. Instead it just takes longer to dry.

@@whichwasher2007 - also I would consider that tumble dryer as an example of Chineseum crap/a polished turd, and would not buy it for being cheap and rubbish. I would go for the vintage CREDA debonair “next to it” as it has a traditional heater, and is vented out the door ~ [summer] I would fit the duct and hang out of a window, [winter] I would remove the duct and have it vent into my kitchen and save on heating & humidifying my house, used in conjunction with a dehumidifier so it doesn’t become too humid ⚠️, a condenser dryer which will heat the room it is in & make water which I could possibly reuse, or a more modern heat-pump dryer

Good job, was thinking of buying but wont now.

These take far too long to dry, used to use one of these and a decent sized dark load wash on a cotton program at 1600 took around 2hours and abit usually

[@glencoe1978]

Where does the moisture go? Is there no hose?

[@superdylan803]

I m glad i saw this video so i can get my gran Not to buy this rubbish!

[@whichwasher2007]

And rubbish it is. I've had one and woant be haveing another. Will happily refurbish creda/indesit/hotpoint compacts all day long.

[@superdylan803]

@@whichwasher2007 I would take even a candy over this as well

[@ayyymee66]

Do you suggest any only small dryer? Ideally no wider then 52cm

[@whichwasher2007]

Yes the Indesit NIS41V. Full 4kg load done in 70 minutes.

The most pathetic tumble dryer on the market
