  • Thanks all really appreciate it, I got a Hoover heat pump dryer with two year warranty for £350 delivered from Curry's, Quidco and online vouchers were my friends. Curry's said they advertised the machine at £520

    The economics of the heat pump tumble dryer are getting better. The measured price of electricity for my vented dryer was £120 in one year.

    The new Candy came delivered at £329 from AO with a warranty that would have cost £239 over 4 years but I cancelled and repurchased the warranty from Domestic & General directly for £119.

    A Candy purchased vented costs £199 so the Candy heat pump purchase cost £129 more.

    Anticipated saving is £60 a year in moving from vented to heated pump, so payback for me is two years.

    The warranty cost is now about equivalent.

    I know Candy may not be the best choice but the warranty purchase circumvents any relative MTBF differences between Candy and top-notch machines.

    Solar contribution eases the conscience.
