Tumble Dryers

Hi petrapan no need for a knighthood but the problem is that you are only putting in ONE sheet and so it gets tangled.

To prevent rolling never put just one sheet, always put in a few things together

In my experience, it doesn't matter what you put in with the sheet, it still rolls into a ball and includes whatever is in with it I have even got some of those spikes tumbler balls and it still happens.
I frequently have to stop my dryer to shake the sheet out. I have found that once the sheet is half dried, it doesn't tend to ball as much.

A little house I rented after leaving DH1 had a Miele tumble drier. Absolutely brilliant for reduced creasing and balling

Wish I could have afforded one when we were kitting out this house.

Thank you Eliza for your advice, however, I have also tried two sheets (King size) plus pillowcases and it still balls within seconds.
I tend to agree with Phoenix that the top end dryers, which cost a fortune, may be marginally better but maybe not enough to warrant their price. I bought the John Lewis Signature Hotpoint dryer which seemed the best of the middle end with a 9k drum thinking it would handle anything.
Never mind, I haven't given up yet and, as it seems to be a common problem with lots of brands of dryers, I will keep this dryer and put the little grey cells to work.
I am seldom beaten by inaminate objects, is this going to be the first?
When and if I make progress, I will shout out loud.

Petrapan you could complain to John Lewis, I find them very helpful if I have problems with their products, they may possibly also have some advise.

Yes, Eliza, I will discuss it with both John Lewis and Hotpoint Customer Care and see what they have to say.

I had this problem with my Miele dryer, because it does not reverse while drying. I found that using a couple of tumble dryer balls solved it most of the time. You can get them for a few pounds from Amazon (I use Dryangles). Some people say you can use a couple of tennis balls instead. Hope this helps.

I have had just two Tumble Driers in many years and have never had a problem with things rolling up.Both had reverse tumbling which may be the answer,my first was a Servis and my current one a Creda. It is used every day in winter.

Blimey, those Miele dryers cost a fortune - you'd think they'd have got it right!

Every day annsixty?
