To test the Indesit YT M11 82 X UK tumble dryer, I put it through my standard series of tests. First, I ran the Cupboard Dry cycle. This used just 0.527kWh of power, which is very economical. And, once complete, my clothes had lost only an extra 6g of weight through fibre loss. This puts the total water removal at 106.25% of the original dry weight, which shows that the Indesit YT M11 82 X UK treats clothes gently. Be careful, though: turning the dial past the Off position will turn the dryer off, meaning you’ll have to turn the dial again to turn the machine on, requiring you to wait through the startup lights again. I had a similar issue with the Sharp ES-NFH014CWC-EN washing machine. A simple on/off button would make Sharp’s appliances much easier to use. When it comes to buying a tumble dryer, you could splash out on a fancy model with smart features; or, you could opt for the Indesit YT M11 82 X UK, which presents a simpler, cheaper option that focuses on getting the basics right. Low running costs, quiet in operation, easy to use and with a decent selection of programmes, this is a solid and reliable tumble dryer. Design and features In terms of drying performance, the Indesit YT M11 82 X UK belongs to Class B. While not the highest rating available, it still provides efficient and effective drying results.

The heat-exchanger filter is located under the flip-down plinth at the front of the tumble dryer. This one only needs to be cleaned when the warning light turns on, although Sharp recommends that you clean it at least once a month. Water is collected in a tank that pulls out from the top left of the appliance, where the detergent drawer would be found on a regular washing machine. This can be quite heavy when full, but it’s easy enough to empty. Alternatively, those who have a drain nearby could attach the drainage hose directly to it, permanently doing away with having to empty the water tank. If you want more finite control over how your clothes are dried, then you can use the programme dial to select an option. Practically all types of clothing is covered, and all options are clearly labelled in English. The Eco Cotton programme is likely to be the option you’ll use most, saving the most energy. For each drying cycle, the LCD panel displays the programme running time – although this will change as the sensor detects how dry your clothes actually are. You can set a delayed start time, adjust the drying level, and use the AntiCrease option, which will roll the drum occasionally at the end of a cycle to prevent clothes from settling and becoming creased before you can get to the machine to unload.

At the end of the drying cycle, my clothes were 0.02kg heavier than their true dry weight: that’s 98.41% of water removal. Typically, dryers will extract more than 100% of the water weight, removing fibres as well as moisture. So, this result isn’t actually that bad: the clothes were dry enough to fold and put away, and there wasn’t much lint in the filter.

There are two filters to clean out. One lifts out of the front of the drum, and the second one is located at the front of the machine, behind the fold-down hatch. This bottom one only needs to be cleaned when the filter light turns on; the door filter should be cleaned at the end of each cycle.

Water, by default, drains into the pull-out tank, located at the top of the tumble dryer where the detergent drawer would be located on a washing machine. It’s easy to pull out and empty, although a bit unwieldy when full, as is the case with other tumble dryers.

It swings open wide; I found it super-easy to load my test washing, even larger items such as a sheet.

Once it is on, however, there are plenty of programmes to choose from. You’ll most likely use the Cotton and Synthetics programmes, both of which have Cupboard Dry and Iron Dry options – but, strangely, there’s no hanging dry option.However, there’s an Xpress 45-minute programme for up to 1kg of washing, plus special programmes for Wool, Jeans, Synthetics, Shirts and more. Note that many of the cycles aren’t particularly fast: a full load on Eco Cotton takes up to 3hrs 20mins. That’s standard for a heat-pump tumble dryer; you sacrifice speed for power, which is a trade-off well worth making. Next, I went for the Hanging Dry option. This used just 0.452kWh of power, leaving clothes slightly damp, with water removal at 90.91% of the original dry weight. It’s good to see this kind of difference in programmes, since it shows that the sensor drying works well, getting clothes to the right level of dryness. As with most tumble dryers, there are two filters here. The lint filter in the door simply pulls out and should be cleaned following every use.
