I was getting worried about this as nobody seems to have a good word to say about them.
Mine's a Zanussi, which is fantastic, too.
It must be about seven years old, and still working fine. Hope this isn't jinxing it.
When you buy one, it gives you the amount you can wash and dry at any one time on the label, so you know it will not take a full load to dry.
I can if I want do a wash and dry following on from it, but I never have done, because I prefer to dry on the line.
When it's finished washing, take out what you want and leave half in for drying if you cannot dry outside.
I admit I tend to use the dryer to get rid of creases so don't need to iron. The dryer has a timer from 12 to 120 minutes but that's never needed. It also has two heat temperatures. I tend to just use the low one, because I usually wash towels when I can hang them out.
So that's two for Zanussi.
