Tumble dryers- which one would you recommend and why?

We are moving to an apartment and will need to buy a tumble dryer. There will be no outside wall for a vented one, but the choice is massive and the price varies tremendously. I don’t want anything with lots of different programmes, just one that is efficient at drying clothes!

Had a Beko - useless in my opinion - took hours and hours to dry things. Broke down within 2 years and Argos said they hadn’t received my guarantee thingy although they had for the washing machine purchased at the same time. Water stored in the bottom.
Replaced with an Indesit which I’m very impressed with. Only 2 heat settings and dries quickly plus the water’s stored at the top, so very easy to pull out the drawer and dispose of the liquid.

I have a Bosch condenser with sensor and it’s never caused a moment’s problem. Mine is actually plumbed into the drain under the sink so there is no need to empty the water container. I cannot understand why people think it’s expensive to run a tumble dryer-used twice a week it’s less than £1 and even if used 4/5 times pw it’s only around £2. That’s less than a coffee and I’d rather pay than have yards of damp laundry everywhere if you can’t hang it out.
