Some tumble dryers such as many of the Hotpoint ones have a humidity sensor
which enables them to stop when the clothes are dry.

Does anyone have any practical experience of this feature?

Our Miele works that way, and is very effective.

Ditto with our Bosch. Big "thumbs up".

Add to that my big thumbs up for a Bosch - ours is officially "two thumbs
fresh" - bloody marvellous kit.

Cheers

Don't touch the Hotpoint ones. I bought one 4 years ago for that feature
and it didn't work at all. Couple of engineer visits and it was still
useless - clothes not remotely dry when it decided they were.

Got a full refund, which took some shouting at Hotpoint.

Replaced with a Bosch Logixx and it works very well. Reliable,
does the right thing in a predictable way and so on.

I have a Bosch 6920. I would not now dream of buying a tumble dryer without
this feature. I will pay back the extra cost very rapidly with the energy
saved.

Ditto with our Zanussi. You have to tell it how hard or soft your water
is when you first install the machine, so I'm guessin it's using
electrical resistivity to measure the dampness in the clothes, but I
could be way out here )
