Thanks for the information and luckily for me mine is 18 months old now. However my daughter in law got one for Christmas so I'll pass the warning on.

It's getting to the stage where I check what's plugged in before going out or to bed, and maybe I should've been doing this all along 😟
Yes..one you have forgotten @gindygoo Tumble dryers (of a certain brand) are getting a lot of bad press recently. Burning out after setting on fire...

True.... though the tumble drier currently in the news for all the wrong reasons is manufactured totally in the US (from my research)
