Big load wash 1:29, Tumble dry in about 1:10, grab straight from tumble dryer and no need to iron.
Our iron only comes out for school shirts as the wife thinks we will be judged if they aren’t both pure white and perfect.
Dave!

My wife has managed to shrink 2 of my jumpers in ours, so it can be done
I don't tumble dry T-Shirts for that reason. Always Air Dry...
Unless you're wearing woollen T-shirts Dinny that shouldn't be an issue

Happens every single time with every make and model of T-Short. Adidas, Nike, SuperDry... you name it, our machine will shrink it.
But just the once - after that you can tumble dry it for hours and it wont shrink any further

Crikey. Your tumble dryer must be like a furnace

Dinny.. no easy way to say this, it’s not the T-shirt getting smaller, it’s you getting bigger that’s the problem!..

aaaannnnnd, the tumble drier has died...

typical.
I was sure it was the belt so I began taking it apart but it's a far more complex process than I can manage, plus it's absolutely filled with fluff and as it sits in the garage, I don't fancy a house fire.
It was cheap as chips when I bought it. It's given me 11 years of use so it doesn't owe me.
I've ordered another one - the cheapest 8KG Vented unit that Curry sells
