IFB 5.5 kg Fully-automatic Dryer (TURBO DRY EX, Silver, Wall Mountable,Anti crease)

Writing review after using this product for a monthPros:1) Simple design, adequate capacity for up to 4-5 member family. Works well.Silent operation.2) Simple to operate, just turn the timer knob as per desired time and recommendations3) Flexibility of wall mount and floor mount4) Although company sends installation technician to provide demo and install exhaust shoot, it's very easy to do on your own. But technician, puts warranty remarks on warranty card so leave this installation job to company5) Did not burn, shrink any clothes cotton or synthetics6) Long warranty period7) Due to simplified design, I believe repairs if any should be easy and cheap8) Machine stops immediately if door is opened in between cycle9) Thermal cut off is also useful safety featureCons:1) Too simple construction. Could benefit by having humidity sensor based operation control to reduce cycle time and reduce cost of operation2) Mechanical timer based operation and is grossly inaccurate. If I set it to 40 mark, unit almost runs for hour.3) A lot of lint gets accumulated in filter. Actually it is not clothes lint,. It is lint sucked in from surrounding when unit pulls air inside. There is no air filter I believe at air inlet. It gives apparent feeling that clothes had a lot of lintOther comments:1) Electricity bill increased by about Rs.400 over a month for daily use for 1-1.5 hours2) White color is cheaper by Rs.1K3) After every couple of drying cycles lint filter must be cleaned4) Marketing badges on unit are reversible for upside down installation on wall5) Stainless steel drum is of good quality and thickness6) Machine restarts from where left after power cutoff as timer stops functioning on power cut off7) Timer knob MUST be operated in clockwise direction only.Update after using about 3 years:1) I still find it useful product.2) As long as one does not load the machine with too many clothes than it's capacity, the results are consistent3) I still feel that there should be accurate timer upgrade and digital control with humidity sensor that company should add to this product. Also, should use BLDC motor and not universal motor they use now.4) I have already paid amount equivalent to the machine cost in last three years to electricity board. That is cost of convenience one pays in owing any dryer (not just this).5) Almost every cycle lint filter is needed to be cleaned, feels boring at time but if not done, the machine will not give good results as it blocks air flow, so have to do it anyway.6) I feel some thin cotton shirts shrunk in size over a period of time. One has to understand that when used in mixed mode or cotton mode, the machine runs heater almost the entire duration of cycle probably that in long term causes shrinkage.7) Due to overloading of clothes I guess (due to lack of knowledge) drum's spacers were damaged in first year only but later when I started using less load, machine ran flawlessly so far.

I was initially in awe of the working of the product. Compared to the bosch washing machine I had, I did feel the construction of the dryer was a bit too cheap. Just after 2 months of use and maybe 5 or 6 drying cycles the following issues I noticed :a) the timer is a kind of winding timer. If you set it at 120 minutes, it will run by more than 140 minutes. So planning anything according to it doesn't work.b) bigger issue you would notice is big things like bedsheets don't get completely dry specially if you put a full load. It's understandable and after every 3 or 4 uses you will need to clean the lint filter.My biggest grouse since I bought this dryer was its flimsy lock mechanism for the door. The most moving part and it's lock is flimsy. Add to it after using it for maybe 10 drying sessions in last 3 months. The doors frame came undone. On asking they say it's not in warranty. Very unfortunate as it's not a breakage due to rough use but the poor construction quality of the door where the plastic holes that the door frame is sealed on due to the heating temperature gave up. I would call it a manufacturing defect. They will replace the door only if I pay 1200 rupees for it and they will give me the same quality door. So doesn't make sense their highlighted 4 year warranty or crapEscalated this to their manager and they say will give 200 rupees discount. Its such a sad situation on what is their warranty. Might need to go to consumer court for such poor construction and then charging customers for manufacturing defect.

Great product especially keeping in mind the weather, it has been carefully used for past 6 months. Works perfectly and easy to use. Highly recommended as the options are limited at this attractive pricing.

Good product. The only weakness is that the door is delicate and may break if not handled well.The earlier product from ifb had a long life. Reason why we picked the same brand.

I purchased this dryer in September of 2016, and after nearly seven years of regular use, I thought I'd share my review. I use this dryer at least once a day, and I'm happy to report that I haven't encountered any issues with it. It did take me a little while to figure out the optimal settings for my clothes, but once I did, using the dryer has been a breeze.One of my favorite features is that I can use fabric softeners on my clothes, which leaves them smelling fresh for an extended period of time. Additionally, I haven't experienced any damage to my clothes, except for the occasional shrinkage which is always temporary. The best part, however, is that as soon as the clothes are done drying, I remove them from the dryer and hang them up. As a result, I don't need to iron my clothes as often.Overall, I highly recommend this dryer. For a purchase price of only 20000, this is a steal considering the amazing quality and reliability I've experienced over the last seven years. Your clothes will always smell great, and you'll save time by avoiding ironing. It's a fantastic purchase that every household should consider.

Useless product and poor customer support. The machine was installed by the service centre representative however the machine did not performed as expected. More than this cloth gets dried in washing machine. The IFB customer service had stopped responding
