Condenser tumble dryer

I was thinking of buying one of these and putting it in the spare bedroom. Do they make the room steamy and I assume you dont have to vent them (is that what condenser means)?

Has anyone got one and how long do they take to dry a mixed load of washing?

Drying time depends obviously, but mine is great, put a full load in, 1hr later-dry,
no condensation. they are brilliant!

We normally open the window a crack when we have it on, also when I moved it from my last house, I noticed it had damaged the carpet a bit so it's a good idea to put it on an old scrap of carpet to protect the good one

i have had one of these and it might have been a faulty one but it was Krap from start to finish If you have space in your spare room by the window get a standard one and put the hose out of the window.

Just remember that a conser tumble dryer has to use electricity to run a chiller unit(condenser) atthe same time as a heater unit which cost more

Jaygrunt, what make is yours? I am looking at the Whirlpool condenser dryer which is on special offer in Costco in October

Mine is a Creda easy load condensair (anti - tangle)
But I have had this one for about 7 years
Simple to use and it keeps our kitchen warm inda winter

Just get a normal tumble dryer and put vent pipe out of window! Much cheaper to buy and run than condenser type.

woohoo

Mine is fab. Doesn't steam room up at all. It is a whirlpool AWZ 650. Much better than my last 'normal one'.
