I've heard they leave clothes more creased and then they require ironing is this true?

No just mis quoted.

It is cheap to run.

Cheap to run but a small fortune to buy.

Yes they are, but a miele should last 15/20 years

has a de-tangle mode so I don't have to fight with anything that my old Siemens knotted up.  It has vacuumable/washable filters which means I don't have any other outlay. 

I'd wondered if they caused more damage to clothes due to taking longer, but from what you say, perhaps that's not the case - for a rolls-royce Miele, at least.

Is there any way to try before you buy?

Hello
We're looking to buy a heat pump laundry dryer for drying clothes.
Not sure which one to get, and never had one before.
Your experiences would be appreciated, especially in terms of the features and problems of the machine.
Are the clothes damp or 100% dry?
Thanks

I bought a Beko heat pump dryer for £400 9 years ago.  It's still going strong though not sure it saved me any money!

1) How is the Beko for anti-crease.
2) And is "cupboard dry" really dry, or just damp.
