help our tumble dryer has died and need a new one!

our beloved over used tumble dryer has bite the dust and my lovely mother has offered to get us a new one for our new baby present ( which i think is a great present!).
we have had a look in currys as this is local to us and my hubby can pick it up after work saving on del costs.
they have 2 dryers that caught our eye which vary quite a lot in price, my mother is happy to pay for either but i don't want to just get the more expensive one because i assume it's better. The currys guy was.. well as helpful as asking the dryer itself for help! he didn't seem to have a clue on the products and then kindly read the the bullet points on the front of the machine as his product knowledge just incase we couldn't read them ourselves!! so would anyone be kind enough to have a look over the specs and provide some advice?
i have googled both products and both seem to have good reviews.

The main thing that caught my eye was the sensor as this would be a great feature for us.

    If it's just the belt that's gone (ie. the motor runs but the drum doesn't spin), then it's probably repairable.
  • No the whole thing went up in smoke literally! it is well and truely dead! but thank you.

    White Knight model (available from Tesco among others) is one of the cheapest and a Best Buy. I have one and it works fine.
