Your comment: The dryers take more than 2 cycles to actually dry clothes. It is also incredibly expensive to wash and dry clothes, even when it works in one cycle - which it never has for me.

Our response:

The machines installed across Aberystwyth campus are designed to redistribute the load if it becomes uneven. When a machine is overloaded or under loaded this becomes harder to achieve, so make sure to follow the load guide stickers on each washing machine. Also, some programme cycles spin faster than others. Choosing the correct cycle on both the washing machines and tumble dryers is therefore crucial to achieving an effective dry. 60 minute drying cycles may not be quite enough time to dry items such as jeans and towels however did you know that you can open your dryer mid cycle to check whether your clothes are dry? If you want to extend your drying cycle, hold your card ot the app up to the machines QR code to extend the cycle in 10 minute increments instead of paying for another full cycle. Additional top tips can be found on our laundry website - Laundry.
