Third-party reviews

What we like about DMD Collective DMDTD1

  • A footprint of 49.5 cm wide and 43.5 cm deep fits tight spaces.
  • At 15.5 kg it is light enough for one person to move.
  • Selectable drying times let you pick a cycle length.
  • At 59.5 cm high it may tuck under a worktop.
  • The 3 kg capacity suits one person's washing.
  • Five programs keep the choice simple.

What we don't like about DMD Collective DMDTD1

  • The vented design needs a way to let the moist air out.
  • Energy efficiency class F means higher electricity use over time.
  • 3 kg is too small for a family's weekly wash.
  • There is no Wi-Fi, so no control from a phone.
  • Only five programs means less choice for special items.

Verdict

For a studio flat or a caravan, the DMD Collective DMDTD1 is small enough to fit where a full-size dryer never could. It is 49.5 cm wide and weighs 15.5 kg, so one person can carry it upstairs. It is vented, so it needs a way to let the moist air out. Its 3 kg capacity suits small, frequent loads. There are five programs, which covers simple everyday loads. Selectable drying times let you pick how long a small load runs. The energy efficiency class is F, so it is not the choice for anyone who wants low running costs. It has no Wi-Fi, so it cannot be controlled from a phone. It suits a buyer with little space and a few loads a week, and it does the job without fuss.
