Shopaholic? Me?

I need a new tumble dryer and buying one is proving to be ridiculously hard. Okay, admittedly I am being a bit finicky but only because I had what I wanted till it developed a fault and no-one would fix it for me. You would think people would be pleased to fix an appliance especially with global warming etc etc. I cannot understand why people are hesitant to fix things, I mean it is not like it will hike up their business insurance or costs.

Anyway, back to my tumble dryer requirements. I previously owned a White Knight that was A rated and reasonably priced. It had a sensing level and two heat settings and some easy iron setting. Clothes came out soft and practically did not need any ironing. Which in my books is fantastic.

My problem. White Knight no longer make their A rated version, only a B rated. This could be acceptable except living in the IOM means nearly no-one delivers here. I was actually asked for a surplus of £50.00 to have it delivered.

So I tried to order a different dryer from other places, except their sites don’t exclude the IOM in their T&C’s and results in my order getting cancelled, or getting to the end of the order and being told they won’t deliver to my house. Very frustrating.

So now I need to decide… pay that £50.00 surcharge or settle for something else! Argh! Who would have thought buying a dryer would be this horrific?
