Has anybody tried one of these? I saw them in a catalogue recently but you can also get them online from www.dustbag.co.uk for £!4.99. Is the hose a universal fitting does anybody know? I only have a small size tumble dryer.

    I used to use one and it worked fine.

    Goodness Sneaky,I dont think I can stand the pressure of having to make up sexy titles each time I post a new thread.:D

    How about "help needed with steamy box" :eek: ??????

    Or "will a standard HOSE be too BIG for me?";) nudge, nudge. wink, wink. say no more.

    I baught one of those boxes a few years ago and i thaught they were total rubbish.They come with two removable inner boxes you have to fill with water and freeze,(such a pain) so that when the hot heat hits the cold ice it turns to water.I still had to open doors and windows when i was using the box otherwise my doors and walls were soaked,not just damp feeling but drenched,just like they would be if i was taking a hot bath with no window open.Wasnt very impressed at all but others might have had a better experience than i did.

    1/10 from me :confused:

    Got it from Argos, and yes the hose was standard size.

    Must say worked fime for me - but I do prefer venting it through a hose through the window / cat flap / door etc.

    I bought my condenser box off ebay, mine is also the one that you half fill with water and empty after each use. It works fine and is very easy. I've just looked on ebay and found similar one on there- much less than £14.99 too! Have a look at item number 270181130659.

    Hi everyone. :hello:

    I have a question about these Tumble Dryer Condenser boxes.
    Will these boxes work with a portable Air Conditioning unit ?
    I would have thought that it wouldn`t be any different to a Tumble Dryer.

    Anyone answer ?
    Thanks
