The flexible Miele T7644C tumble dryer offers 8 sensor-driven drying programmes and a 41cm diameter spring-loaded door opening which takes the back ache out of loading and unloading your laundry. It includes a Handcare woollens setting, which is not a drying programme but serves to fluff up fibres, and a short Smoothing programme to ease creasing on crumpled fabrics. The Miele airing programme freshens up stale fabrics.
The wide fluff filter is large enough to be vacuumed out, and an indicator tells you when to empty the condenser water container, though you can use the pump away facility and hook it up to a drain instead. The Miele programme sequence indicator shows the drying stage reached, and a buzzer sounds when the drum starts to turn during the anti-crease tumble at the end of the cycle. With internal light.
Miele machines are famous for their longevity; their machines are designed to have a lifespan of 20 years in normal use, and Miele will therefore guarantee to carry spare parts accordingly. Their machines have an enamel coating which is directly applied as a powder, and will not chip, rust or lose its colour in normal use. The functions of this machine can be updated by a service engineer in years to come through its PC Update facility.
