I have almost the same model. Drying can take a while, but the running cost of a heat pump dryers are insanely low. I would strongly recommend one of these.

Hi, very useful demonstration. I have learnt a lot about our heat pump tumble dryer. We have recently bought the NTS M11 92SK UK. 100% agree, it uses about 1/3rd of the electricity than the conventional vented tumble dryer. The water container gets very full on each use and it is quite heavy to empty. After watching your video, I am going to use the draining pipe through the old vent to the outside wall to drain the water. This is one of the issues, I noticed as compared to the vented driers. The other one is the filter by the heat pump needs to be cleaned after every use, otherwise, the red warning light comes on the heat pump dryer, it automatically switches off will not start, until this filter is cleared and the dryer switched off and on again for it to go through its safety cycle. Therefore, two filters to clean after every use. In summary, very efficient to run and quieter. However, two filters to be cleared on every use. As it is saving me money, I’d give heat pump tumble dryer & Hotpoint 5 Stars.

Good vid. I repair these and have almost the same model, it's 4 years now and still doing a good job. 2 remarks apart from cleaning the filters: 1. I wouldn't advise pauzing it or open the door while it's drying, since it takes 20 minutes before the compressor kicks in again. Also a bad idea to feel how dry the laundry is while it's busy. 2. Use a different hose if you want to connect it to your waste pipe. The original one tends to leak if it bends, destroying the water sensor inside the machine.

Thanks very useful information, we have same model for about 4 years it is really fantastic, using it 4 to 5 times a week, highly recommend 👍👍👍

My cousin had recently bought one of these She is delighted with it It works well and the drying times our not incredibly long as the timer suggests when it is switched on. I have a Miele heat pump. It is great but not sure it is worth double the price of this. Thanks Andrew

I have ordered the Hotpoint model based on the information in the video,

Great to hear. Let me know how you get on with it

Great video thanks

I've just ordered one of these. Looking at the figures I think I will be saving £1 in electric per load. As £1.50 per load for a vented tumble dryer and 50p per load for a heat pump tumble dryer. So will take 350 load to pay for it's self as paying £350.

I'd love to see a video about a large portable washers.

It all sounds very good but I often use my dryer when I’m in a hurry to dry two or three items if I can’t hang out the washing due to bad weather & need these items quickly. From that I can see here it would take hours to dry just a few items ? Whereas at the moment I could dry trousers, two shirts/tops in say 30 mins .. this is what I’m struggling with the amount of time needed to be factored in to save money. Could anything be dried in under two hours?

What is the maximum temperature you get from these heat pump tumble dryers? Where is the link to your machine?

My product is same but some write demo but not start

Many thanks for a wonderful demo, I have purchased 9kg ones but I see the time starts at 3:07 for cotton and it goes done to 0:15 in 30 min and gradually it reduces to 0:01 and then increases to 0:20 and again reduces to 0:01 and this continues to for next 40 to 50 min. Is it the expected behavior or there is a fault in the timer. Please suggest. Thanks

It wouldn't normally be that erratic as far as the time changing, but it is quite standard for the time to change. It is using the sensors in the machine to detect the moisture content which is why it adjusting the time.

Maybe someday we can buy larger washer dryers with this technology and enough capacity to wash and dry thick duvets. I can wash on mine, hardly, but forget about drying. Can't find anything larger than 9Kg

The larger the drum the less efficient a tumble dryer. It wouldn’t make much sense to have a home dryer with capacity for duvets, when you generally use it for drying clothes.

I wanted to do the same here but I have been told people take very dirty items like horse blankets to be washed and dried there. I wish I had gotten a 10 or 12 Kg machine. And nice to know the efficiency of larger models is lower. I'd be ok at least being able to wash it, I might use a small plastic tub I bought for that, now that I am thinking about, during summer, and hot water, so I don't have to shake it too much with a clean broom or something to have it clean. It's not that awful anyways, thankfully. Have a great new year!!@@christopherjhall

I purchased the NTM1192SK model in February , but I find that it never gets hot like my old condenser dryer or really gets the clothes really dry for putting away. Not sure what I am doing wrong.

Sometimes it can be the ambient temperature of the room it's in but on the whole heat pump dryers don't get as hot as a standard condenser dryer.

How do I START it going ?

I’m a big fan of vented tumble dryers with very short drying times. Why are they getting harder to find? The heat pump runs a lot longer to dry the same amount of clothes as a vented, doesn’t that mean even though the heat pump is more energy efficient it has to run a lot longer so is using the equivalent energy as a vented unit which dries the clothes in a fraction of the time? Appreciate the detail in the videos, keep up the good work.

I’ve been using vented tumble dryers for 30 years. I can confirm my daily electric smart meter readings ( sad, I know), heat pump tumble dryers use about 1/3 the amount of electricity. I agree, they do take about a 1/3 longer to dry. Not a technological guy, haven’t got a clue as to why the heat pump dryers run for longer yet use less electricity.

@polla2256

​@@leo1066because they operate on a closed loop cycle. Rather than venting waste heat (and moisture) out of the system (open loop) they cycle the air within the system. This means they can run at much lower temperatures. Theoretically they could heat to similar temperatures as conventional machines but you hit diminishing returns in regards to efficiency and cost.

Excellent video - thanks! I’ve just taken delivery of this model and have two questions as the ‘instructions’ are terrible! 1) there were no feet included for levelling - should there be? 2) One of the main features for me was the ability to put the water hose into the waste pipe of my washing machine. However, the pipe on the back is far too short to do anything with. Am I missing something? The WM waste pipe is only about 18 inches from the dryer but the pipe is on the ‘wrong’ side so it has to go across the back of the machine, across another 18 inches and then up to the height of the washing machine waste. The pipe provided is less than the height of the dryer! Could you give me some advice please? Thanks you so much!

@lords-electrical

As far as the pipe, it is short you are correct. I'm not sure if you can extend it with another piece of pipe to make sure it reaches the waste hose. It also looks like the left front foot is adjustable which may help level the machine up.

​@@lords-electrical thanks so much for the reply. Marketing it with the feature that it can drain to the washing machine outlet pipe seems to be very misleading as the pipe it comes with is pointless even if the waste pipe was directly beside it! Nevertheless, Ive been using my dryer all day and delighted with it. Drying time is much shorter than I expected!

Heat pump dryers always operate at a much lower temperature so may be working ok but just not feeling too warm. Are the clothes drying in the end? Also don't forget heat pump dryers do take a lot longer to dry,

Hi I just got one of these. It on and off makes a clanging noise or a bird tweeting kind of noise and also near the end a fan noise comes on. Is this all normal or is it faulty? Thank you

The fan noise could be normal towards the end of the process, but not sure about the bird tweeting and clanging sound? If it is still in warranty i would contact Hotpoint and get them to send an engineer round to have a look.

From the brands we sell we haven't had any comments about any dryers blowing lint everywhere. The filters are still needed to be cleaned as with any tumble dryer, but hopefully if you change to a heat pump dryer you should be impressed with the energy efficiency too.
