    I don't have a clue as to the dif in cost of the two types of drier but if one has to freeze water evry time one wants to dry the washing then I suppose the cost of freezing this water taken over the life of the machine should be brought into the calculation when making a comparison .

    the box you are talking about u can get from B&q dont know the price also i can reconmend mend the white knight dryer about £100 we have 4 children and on nearly 24/7
    look in currys etc then go on to dixons.co.uk and it should be cheaper but if u want the extened warrenty goto http://www.domgen.com/ it is cheaper than dixons good luck

    Hi,

    Me and my g/f moved into our first house about 7 months ago it came with some appliances including washer/dryer combi - now the washer aspect of it is fine but dryer aspect is a joke can take upto 3 hours to dry clothes and what with the dodgy weather we have had no choice but to use it.

    Anyway we are now going to buy a seperate dryer now but our kitchen is quite small so the only place we can fit it is in the Cellar, now there is not outlet for a vented tumble dryer - is there an alternative to buying a condensor dryer (seen as they are most expensive)? We need one especially since my g/f is pregnant and using the combi with a babies clothes to get through is not an option.

    For example a box you can place the hose from the dryer in?

    Advice?

    If there is no option what is the best condensor dryer for price and value?

    Thanks in advance
    B & Q sell them. Its called an "Indoor Tumble Dryer Vent Kit" and costs £10 (in the plumbing section).

    I bought one last week - recommended to me by a neighbour who use it regularly and it definitely does the trick!
