Third-party reviews

What we like about LEADZM GDZ40-428E

  • At 50 cm deep and 41 cm tall, it suits tight spaces.
  • At 18 kg, one person can move it alone.
  • The drum turns both ways for even tumbling.
  • A temperature selection gives control over heat.
  • Front loading makes it easy to load and unload.

What we don't like about LEADZM GDZ40-428E

  • A 2.5 kg capacity is small for a family wash.
  • Only three programs give little choice.
  • At 60 cm wide it takes more room than its height suggests.
  • Vented drying needs an outlet for the air.
  • Each small load means more cycles for a weekly wash.

Verdict

Its 2.5 kg capacity is the main limit of the LEADZM GDZ40-428E, a small vented dryer for one person. At 50 cm deep and 41 cm tall, it can fit under a counter or in a tight corner. At 18 kg, one person can move it without a second pair of hands. The drum turns both ways, so the load tumbles evenly. The temperature selection gives control over heat on each load, which helps with mixed fabrics. Only three programs give little choice. The 60 cm width takes up a fair share of a narrow room. Vented drying means the air needs an outlet, so check the room before buying. It suits one person or a couple with small weekly loads and a tight space.
