Vented Integrated Tumble dryers. Anyone still buying these?

Options
My Tumble dryer has packed up.  Sounds like the motor so probably beyond fixing.  It's 11 years old and cost less than £200 at the time so served a decent life.

However looking you can't buy these very easily or at all anymore.  The new ones are all heat pump, lots more money to buy upfront and looks like the plinth cut outs are different. With the Kitchen being 11 years old chances of getting the same plinth are slim, and that is another cost and expense to mess around with that as well.

Anyone else had this issue and found an old style one, or can say the plinth thing is not an issue

    Don't know about the plinth, but it looks like they don't require any cutout:
    I think plinth isn't expensive an you can replace it all if you find similar.
