Hotpoint Aquarius TVM560

This is always a tough diocsein with a good quality product because, as others have said, they have the potential to last a very long time.But, from what you've told us, it's probably best to replace it. Even if the parts are available to repair it, advances have been made in the past 15 years. A newer machine will be more efficient, more reliable, and probably have more features. -1Was this answer helpful?

i have now owned this tumble dryer for 6 years, and not once has it let me down.

i have alot of know how with appliances, and i have to say for under 200 pounds, i dont think i could have got much better value for money.

the tumble dryer is used all year round for bedding and towels, and with having a 9kg washing machine it is often overloaded (or so i would say), its still going strong and theres not so much as a squeak from it as of yet.

i would probably get it repaired if it broke as parts are very cheap and its very easy to work on.

it is very basic, heat settings and a timer but what more can you want, dryers all do the same thing, performance doesnt really change because they arent competing at how clean your clothes come out, they are literally just drying them, and this is very good at that. ive never had the dial above 90 minutes and most time everything comes out bone dry.

excellent dryer.

had this dryer since 2008, so 5 years now, and used all year round for bedding and towels (thats all i put in the dryer unless in emergency), and with me having a 9kg washing machine, its often full, and used all the time.

it has not failed once, apart from when it was new when someone slammed the door really hard and it had to have a new catch.

its still going, bearings are still good and drying times are still as they have always been-quick.

its very basic but what more can you want from a dryer? its nothing fancy, like a washing machine, it just dries and thats it. for under £200 new i am very certain i have got my value for money out of this product and would definately reccomend- even though you cant buy this anymore but oh well.

you can get similar still and im sure they will be equally as good.
