Goodbye Miele Dryer/Long Term Ownership Review

Sadly, my Miele dryer threw up an error recently after turning off during cycles. Big thanks to ‪@mieleguy1600‬ who helped me understand what was wrong. I've decided to replace it, but before it goes I wanted to detail my thoughts as an owner of a Miele T1 heatpump dryer for the last 7 years. Just an ad-lib so apologies of the lack of editing.

Here's a summary:

The good:
* Heat pump- reduced clothes wear/shrinkage
* Usual Miele quality,
* Excellent and customisable programmes
* Energy efficiency - even vs current it's still very good
* Drain hose kit for direct drainage into standing waste pipe

The bad:
* Noise- carbon contacts on drum make incessant ticking noise
* Dryness levels - took some adjusting, sometimes laundry a bit damp
* Cool down- none by default but I did adjust this to 18mins
* Didn't last 20 years/equivalent
