IFB 5.5 kg Front Load Fully-automatic Dryer (TURBO DRY,white,Inbuilt Heater, Allergy Free Technology

Writing review after using this product for a monthPros:1) Simple design, adequate capacity for up to 4-5 member family. Works well.Silent operation.2) Simple to operate, just turn the timer knob as per desired time and recommendations3) Flexibility of wall mount and floor mount4) Although company sends installation technician to provide demo and install exhaust shoot, it's very easy to do on your own. But technician, puts warranty remarks on warranty card so leave this installation job to company5) Did not burn, shrink any clothes cotton or synthetics6) Long warranty period7) Due to simplified design, I believe repairs if any should be easy and cheap8) Machine stops immediately if door is opened in between cycle9) Thermal cut off is also useful safety featureCons:1) Too simple construction. Could benefit by having humidity sensor based operation control to reduce cycle time and reduce cost of operation2) Mechanical timer based operation and is grossly inaccurate. If I set it to 40 mark, unit almost runs for hour.3) A lot of lint gets accumulated in filter. Actually it is not clothes lint,. It is lint sucked in from surrounding when unit pulls air inside. There is no air filter I believe at air inlet. It gives apparent feeling that clothes had a lot of lintOther comments:1) Electricity bill increased by about Rs.400 over a month for daily use for 1-1.5 hours2) White color is cheaper by Rs.1K3) After every couple of drying cycles lint filter must be cleaned4) Marketing badges on unit are reversible for upside down installation on wall5) Stainless steel drum is of good quality and thickness6) Machine restarts from where left after power cutoff as timer stops functioning on power cut off7) Timer knob MUST be operated in clockwise direction only.Update after using about 3 years:1) I still find it useful product.2) As long as one does not load the machine with too many clothes than it's capacity, the results are consistent3) I still feel that there should be accurate timer upgrade and digital control with humidity sensor that company should add to this product. Also, should use BLDC motor and not universal motor they use now.4) I have already paid amount equivalent to the machine cost in last three years to electricity board. That is cost of convenience one pays in owing any dryer (not just this).5) Almost every cycle lint filter is needed to be cleaned, feels boring at time but if not done, the machine will not give good results as it blocks air flow, so have to do it anyway.6) I feel some thin cotton shirts shrunk in size over a period of time. One has to understand that when used in mixed mode or cotton mode, the machine runs heater almost the entire duration of cycle probably that in long term causes shrinkage.7) Due to overloading of clothes I guess (due to lack of knowledge) drum's spacers were damaged in first year only but later when I started using less load, machine ran flawlessly so far.

The media could not be loaded. Delivered on 22.9.22IFB technician came on 27.9.22. He installed the machine but refused to hang the dryer on the wall.When started using, the latch that closes the door found to be plasticky, flimsy and pops open with in a minute of closure.Contacted Amazon. Was told that an inspection is needed from the brand side to decide on return/ replacement. Inspection was complete on 4.10.22.As there was no response from the Amazon side, contacted gain. Return process initiated after multiple calls.Had specifically informed the customer care representative that the cardboard cover was taken away by the cleaning staff and was assured that the same will not affect the return. Pick up was scheduled today. The person who came for pickup cancelled the pickup stating that the cover was missing.Called customer care again and rearranged pick up for tomorrow (8.10.22). Keeping fingers crossed. Absolutely bad product from IFB and first bad experience from Amazon customer care.8.10.22: Pick up boys asked me to pack the machine, which I refused. Then they reluctantly packed and took the product back. Received refund.

Writing this review after about 1 year of purchasing and using the dryer multiple times. The dryer is good but it can be better! It gets the job done well, the clothes are fresh and iron dry after drying in the machine.However it doesn't take the specified load. It can take only half the load of its specified capacity. It takes time to load the dryer in multiple cycles as a result. Also, the belt broke within 2 months of use as it couldn't take a little more load (even though it was less than the specified capacity) .Customer service is good. IFB team responds well to service requests and complaints. They came immediately for installation, repair, uninstallation and reinstallation on separate occasions.

Great product especially keeping in mind the weather, it has been carefully used for past 6 months. Works perfectly and easy to use. Highly recommended as the options are limited at this attractive pricing.

I purchased this dryer in September of 2016, and after nearly seven years of regular use, I thought I'd share my review. I use this dryer at least once a day, and I'm happy to report that I haven't encountered any issues with it. It did take me a little while to figure out the optimal settings for my clothes, but once I did, using the dryer has been a breeze.One of my favorite features is that I can use fabric softeners on my clothes, which leaves them smelling fresh for an extended period of time. Additionally, I haven't experienced any damage to my clothes, except for the occasional shrinkage which is always temporary. The best part, however, is that as soon as the clothes are done drying, I remove them from the dryer and hang them up. As a result, I don't need to iron my clothes as often.Overall, I highly recommend this dryer. For a purchase price of only 20000, this is a steal considering the amazing quality and reliability I've experienced over the last seven years. Your clothes will always smell great, and you'll save time by avoiding ironing. It's a fantastic purchase that every household should consider.
