    Check out the White Knight range which are available through many electrical retailers. They always receive good reviews and are competitively priced.
    Built in the UK too.

    I'm looking for a tumble drier at the moment so have been through the 1st steps already.

    Any size/colour/other restrictions?
    Condenser or vented?
    Capacity - 6 kgs is popular (this is dry natual fabric - less for synthetics)
    No. of heat settings wanted - 2 is the most popular but there are more
    Basic or extra functions (e.g. sensor drying; alarm at end)
    Price range?

    Many driers on the market are energy rated C - the few at A or B take longer to dry clothes. But also look at the other info - C is a band covering a range of power usage.

    I then visited a couple of shops to find out what I liked or disliked (e.g. some have square doors - bigger opening but no window to view the clothes).

    Now I'm ready to price compare on the web!
