Tumble Dryers

SaverRate

Not sure ive posted in the correct section but wondered if anyone could help with the following?

Would someone with a Which? membership be able to provide me with the reviews for the following tumble dryers please?

Bosch Series 4 WTH84000GB Heat Pump
Bosch Series 4 WTN85251GB Condesner 
Hoover Condenser Tumble Dryer 8Kg H-DRY 300 HLEC8TG

If anyone has any of these machines or have experience of heat pumps vs condensers please let me know! 

TIA

Upside of heat pump.

May be cheaper to run

Downside of heat pumps, from my experience of an AEG which failed last year after just 4 years of moderate use.  Extensive damage was caused by the drive belt shredding.

Very expensive to buy

Far more complex internals
Very expensive to repair
Can take 2-3 hours to dry a load, a problem if you have a lot of clothes to dry.
Part loads may not dry properly
Not possible to dry a couple of items quickly
Need heat in the room to recycle so they don't work very well in cold weather in unheated rooms.

Needless to say our new machine is the cheapest Bosch condenser we could find as the previous condenser drier was good for over ten years.

was this extensive damage enough to warrant needing a new tumble dryer ?
