This Hotpoint FTCL871GP tumble dryer uses Heat Pump technology to help save energy. It has an 8kg capacity which should be enough for most families.
There is no LED display to let you how long your drying cycle has left until it finishes, but there are programme progress lights to give you an indication of what stage the cycle is in and you can even set a time delay so you can dry at a time more convenient for you. When a programme has finished a buzzer will sound to let you know.
You can adjust the heat setting to either low or high, it is recommended to use a high heat setting when drying cottons and a low heat setting for more sensitive fabrics. There is also a Refresh setting, where you can quickly refresh clothes that do not need washing but have a slight odour eg slightly musty, been in your cupboard for a long time
Special programmes include Shirts, Jeans, Cuddly toys and a quick dry feature, ideal for those emergency situations. The anti-allergy programme uses high temperature control technology to remove 99.9% of major allergens, including dust mites, fungi, bacteria and pollen to help protect families with sensitive skin.
There are warning lights to remind you to empty the water tank and fluff filter.
