I can't tell if your set on a combination washer dryer, but my experiences of them is that the drying cycle takes far longer than on a dedicated machine and the capacity of the drying cycle is less than the washing cycles, so you need to remember that when loading the machine.
However, I've just bought a Hotpoint tumble dryer, model Hotpoint Aquarius TCM580P, its very simple to use and they fitted a Braille front panel.
It has one control dial, which is used to set the time, a high heat button and a start button.
Its a condenser dryer so you don't need to plum it in anywhere.My washing machine is also a Hotpoint, although in this case is nearly 8 years old and is a washer dryer. The washing machine is still working fine.
I think they are a good manufacturer but as with most companies the customer services isn't always that great.

Hi, Can anyone advise me about either a good (or bad) experience with a current model. I am not concerned about avoiding or trying to buy from a particular manufacturer. I am only concerned about the machine we buy being reliable, effective and having available tactile markings (to order separately if necessary). Any advice or tips would be much appreciated.
