Washer dryer. Anyone recommend one that dries well?

Hi
I am in the market for a washer dryer but want to pick wisely as they are notorious for being poor driers! I realise due to the method they use to dry (evaporation) they will never dry as quickly as a standalone.

I used to have an AEG one which actually worked really well. I seem to remember an average load would dry in around 80-90 mins. Sadly I sold that with a property and can't currently stretch to the £650ish price tag.
I'm willing to spend between £400-£500. Have seen a couple on John Lewis around that Mark, a Hoover and an LG. Reviews aren't always helpful as I think some people expect too much from them.

Would love to hear anyone that has a machine that dries satisfactorily in a reasonable time.

    They dry by condensation, the same as condenser dryers. Just slower because they are primarily washing machines. If you don't trust reviews I don't think this forum will help much, you'll get the same variation here.
    Tall, dark & handsome. Well two out of three ain't bad.
