Third-party reviews

What we like about Green Blue GB415

  • At 49.5 cm wide and 46 cm deep it fits a small flat.
  • It can stand on a floor or be mounted on a rack or wall.
  • Drying times can be set from 20 to 180 min.
  • A shirt program handles work clothes.
  • Its 830 W rating keeps the power draw modest.
  • At 17.7 kg it is light enough to move by hand.

What we don't like about Green Blue GB415

  • The vented design needs a duct or hose to the outside.
  • Five programs limit fabric choices.
  • The 3 kg drum is small for a family's washing.
  • Energy class G is the lowest rating, so running costs are high.
  • There is no Wi-Fi, so it cannot be controlled from a phone.

Verdict

Space is what the Green Blue GB415 is built for, a 3 kg vented dryer that fits a flat or a narrow hall. At 49.5 cm wide, 46 cm deep and 59.5 cm tall, it can stand on a floor or go onto a rack or wall. The selectable drying times run from 20 to 180 min, and a shirt program handles work clothes. The 62 dB noise is moderate for a small machine, and at 17.7 kg it is easy to move by hand. The trade-off is how it works: it is vented, so it needs a duct to the outside, it has only five programs, and its energy class is G. It suits a single person or a couple with small weekly washes and a place where a vent can go.
