Grundig Deals & Offers

Everyone is focusing on just the running costs ....nobody is factoring in the cost of expensive clothes being shrunk by a conventional dryer, hence my intreest in heat pump dryers (which dry at a lower temp & are therefore much kinder to colthes)

£468 for a A+++ rated 8kg sensor tumble dryer with 5 year guarantee sounds good

My dryer is in the garage, so I couldn’t care less about heat radiation from the unit. I reckon we do a load of drying per day also, so if the maths above is correct, id break even after about 15 months. Seems like a good option

Apparently it takes around 11 years to recap the extra expense

I know, but thought i would give their opinion a heads-up, It's slow, taking almost half an hour per kilo of cottons on the cupboard-dry setting. The sensors aren't very accurate, so clothes are still too damp when the buzzer sounds, and shirts come out of the drum with plenty of creases. They're not dried evenly either, so you'll find a few soggy patches, even when other things seem dry. This is a noisy machine, and considering the lengthy programs, you'll have to put up with the racket for a long time. It's hard to clean the lint filter without spreading fluff all over the place. Should I buy it? No. Its cheap running costs are nowhere near enough to make up for such a bad performance, and this dryer is Don't Buy.

Thanks guys. I'm not really aware what the better brands are and was just wondering if at this price point (~£400 for an 8kg heat pump td) this is something to go for.

Grundig(currys only) are beefed up BEKO with 5y warranty. When I researched the spec/price/value point made these a very good choice. Been great and has worked in a garage for a couple of winters now. The HGC has better condenser efficiency(91% v 85%) and lower power(230 v 235) use than the MGC. £400+- is the going rate for these The newer hybrid ones are probably better but a lot more so value is not there yet.

Yes that's the one. We've only had it a few days (delivered Monday) so it's early to say but so far so good. It's quieter than the machine it replaced, takes about the same time, and clothes come out completely dry. UI is easy to use. I'm not 100% sold on the look of it (very shiny door surround) and it's deeper than our old one (so doesn't fit under our unit as well - be sure to measure before buying).

Is the one you got the GTN38250HGCW? Would you recommend it?

On the Curry's site I did a compare Products, there were differences... I guess the main componants were the same but the dispaly and buttons are different ie LED display on the newer one.

As they're remotely controlled there will be circuitry 'listening' out for signals from the remote - this will slowly run the batteries down.

These work really well. But seem to use up battery even when not in use.

My delivery for this came today, very happy! ?

Mine was delivered yesterday, challenged their request for cancellation and refund last week and delivery notification arrived a few days later!

Mine's due for delivery on Friday I hope they don't cancel! 😥

They just canceled my order. :(

They cancelled mine yesterday as well. Oh well worth a try.

Why has it taken this long?

What is it like ? Any good?

Hi Ellen How is the oven? Assuming the kitchen is now complete

Finally got the oven delivered!!

Sorry, haven't built the kitchen yet.

https://www.johnlewis.com/lg-f4j6ey2w-freestanding-washing-machine-8-5kg-load-a-energy-rating-1400rpm-spin-white/p3314285? This one also has 5 year warranty provided you register with LG.

They sponser Barcelona so they must be good!!!

True that, dirty Turk men lol - I remember reading the sons name was Ramhi (H is silent) Koc when I was researching Beko last year to see where it was building EU goods in the EU.

Nothing wrong with Beko products of course, but why did you have to mention their owner (lol) Every time I see the name of the company who owns Beko I chuckle a bit. Then I think of the company who owns Arcelik - it's Koc Holding. Admins and mods: before you delete this post, please have a little look on Wikipedia. I am not lying! They really are the names of the companies who control and own Beko.

You can get an LG 1400 8KG with 5Year warranty for £369.

I like I C Discount store ..great place for diy stuff ...paint brushes etc...food a bit hit and miss....never knew government building on Chalfont drive was still going. ..thought all government offices there had closed...lol....

I know. The free flights things did seem to give them a bad name! Do you live in Nottingham? I visited for about a month for training at Government offices Chalfont Drive. It is probs the most friendly place I have visited!

I thought that when I was in the store....why is it nearly everyone I know calls their vacuum cleaner a hoover...although its usually a Dyson/Miele/Samsung/Vax/G Tech lol???

Hot deal but the person who wrote the sign should watch out. It is not a hoover.

A heat pump dryer is a more efficient condenser dryer. They use much less energy to dry a load. But they cost more.

Theres me going to buy it because i seen german name Grundig- only to find out its not German at all anymore- them stinkn Turks make these, wont be the same quality Re badged as beko- yes i dont trust them if made in turkey- Had a beko before and it was rubbish washing machine bought a Samsung washing machine- Cant complain about it- Will look for tumble dryer to match :)

Is a heat pump tumble drier just the same as a condenser drier. I’m a bit of confused as to what tumble drier is best?

Make sure you clean the condenser filter regularly. You only get 3 with the machine and if they get too clogged are a pain to clean. probably worth giving the condenser a vacuum once a year.

Is there any compromise on dryer results for integrated dryers with washing machine. If not, does anyone have recommendations for washing machines available with Heat Pump Tumble Dryer.

It's a rebadged beko, your just paying the Extra for 5 year guarantee.

Is the guarantee parts and labour?

Pretty standard price for this so wouldn't say it was a deal. I got it for £379 a month ago so if you can hold out for a better price I would.

Same here. Good luck getting a penny from currys or pcworld.

Did anybody purchase this tumble dryer? Is it any good? Does it take forever to dry clothes? thank you

You are more than welcome and thanks <3

Just came here to say thank you! I have been looking for a tumble dryer for months now, and was thoroughly disappointed with Black Friday offers, or should I say, lack thereof, and I've been still checking hotukdeals every day for dryers, and saw your comment at the right time to use it with eBay!324.99 + 400 Nectar points + 3.15% topcashback + 0.5% cash since I paid with a credit card, it's like a deal of the year for me, hahaha

Yup - Its exclusive https://www.grundig.co.uk/support/customer-support Grundig Customer Services Beko plc 1 Greenhill Crescent Watford Herts, WD18 8QU Mind you its a good deal including free 5 yr warranty

but only available in Currys?

Its not currys - its Beko

It’s still nothing more than a Currys own brand product with a fictitious saving.

£599

It's shame that they raised the price to 449 pounds! 10 hours ago, it still 419 pounds.

This is now priced to 449£ it was previously on 419£. Now after discount it is coming as 499. Just a 10£ discount :/

its made by beko thats for sure

Doesnt look like as on Which the score is 61% Which? verdict Low running costs but slow 61%PROS: Low energy use, evenness of drying, easy to useCONS: Slow drying times

I bought a miele 10 years ago but the newer machines of the same brand are less robust. they may or may not last as long but even miele do not offer long guarantees on the machines . I'm attracted to Grundig on the basis that it does a full wash in less than an hour. Why do modern machines want to do a long wash in over 300 mins ? the launderette machines do a wash in less than 30 mins

Depends on how much you like sitting around, and whether or not you have spare time/holidays to wait in for repairs!

I would include Miele in that list now too... few models have any length of warranty with them now, and prices are disproportionately high. My next door neighbour has had a few visits from the repair men too! Customer service just like all the others is lousy now too: https://uk.trustpilot.com/review/www.miele.co.uk My 12 year old Siemens needs replacing soon, and I am spoiled for choice.... do I buy cheap junk or do I buy expensive junk? :-(

It seems to be an almost universal truth that you cannot trust a washing machine brand based on how previous models have performed. Most washing machine manufacturers seem to be involved in a race to the bottom. The one exception seems to be Miele. They rely on their reputation for reliability and longevity and their machines are more expensive. In the long run though, one Miele will cost less than three or four short life machines.

In this day and age, where nothing seems to last. I'd take a five year warranted grundig over a two year LG. Because at the end of the day freek accidents or not, I'm guaranteed not to have to buy a new machine for 5 years. Thanks OP great price for a guaranteed working washer for 5 years.

Well, will you be so kind as to share with us what you have chosen for £250 ?

My point was, why should I spend £120 more than the one I was going to get at £250, If it wont cook my meal for me I best not get it then. Think your getting confused with the magic fairy who cooks for you, washes and drys your clothes and keeps the place tidy for you.

Gopher 42 it is a tumble dryer mate it dries your clothes, what particular benefits do you looking for it won't cook your meal.

Probably is as Grundig went bankrupt and their name is just used to license products

Just bear in mind that this is basically a posh Beko

https://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/grundig-earphones-poundland-hammersmith-1-going-for-7-10-amazon-2630628 Already posted. Still a good deal though.

​They're only a quid :D Nothing from Poundland should have high expectations!

I think 'decent quality' needs to be reassessed !

Grundig. Not a bad brand back in the day. Suspect its gone the way of JVC, Hitachi, Polaroid et all... But can't grumble for a quid

good find op, heat added

Budget headphones should be banned. What's the point in listening to music that sounds like it's being played through a funnel? To say they only cost a quid?

Grundig went under years ago sadly. Some of us still love and use their 1970s radios, famous for their great speakers. Now just a brand name stuck on any old stuff by a Turkish company. The amusingly named Arçelik part of  Koç Holding (!) You couldn't make it up, missus...

nice to know grundig still exists, not seen it since the 80's

Bought a pair today. Very flimsy and there are no instructions on how to attach the band. As for the sound quality, dire would be too kind a word as it's about as tinny and weak as you could possibly get. Not even worth a pound, let alone £6.99

Been in our local one for a few weeks now.

Like everything else Currys seem to sell, its most likely a bespoke model, far inferior to others with a similar name. They seem to do this for two reasons - to avoid price matching and to trick customers into buying the wrong model assuming they are cheaper that the competition. Don't fall for it, they are terrible. Also, don't expect Quidco, in the likely event that it even tracks correctly (rather than much lower), they will most likely still refuse for no reason.

That TV of yours must be costing you £££ in electric and I bet the picture is terrible.

so its beko same factory.

​Grundig (German pronunciation: [ˈɡʁʊndɪç], English /ˈɡrʌndɪɡ/ or /ˈɡrʊndɪɡ/) is a German manufacturer of high-end consumer electronics, domestic appliances and personal care products. Established in 1945 by Max Grundig in Nuremberg. Since 2007, the Grundig brand has become part of Turkey's Arçelik A.S., the third largest company in white goods industry in Europe and belongs to the listed Koç Holding, a global conglomerate with more than 80,000 employees.

You're lucky! My parents bought a Grundig TV in the early 80s and it needed 3 replacements before they got a reliable one
