Current Beko heat pump dryer is going to cost more than it's worth to fix.
Heat Pump= £349
Condenser=£220
We run it nearly every day, kids love to get muddy 🤦🏽♀️
Not bothered about how long it takes to run.
So thoughts what with electricity etc. Which is better over say 4 years (current life of it)
Cheers

From your description, a heat pump dryer is best suited for you.

Assuming you only use partial load. And don't use it during summer, the cost difference is £97 per year.
Edit: If you have spare room or utility room, the cheapest would be hand it up with dehumidifier on. (edited)
Our heat pump dryer (AEG / John Lewis rebadge) is rubbish btw.
