White Knight 76AW White Condenser Tumble Dryer any good

hi there is this tumble dryer any good the lowest a could find this was £190.00 at argos is there anywhere cheaper

i looked at the white knight 42A tumble dryer at argos this was 120.00 with a vent kit. i do not have room ands space to have the vent put in , this dryer is rear venting , but my m8 said they dryer would be ok in a small space and no need for the vent kit, any advice on this would be great.

also which is better vent one or a condenser one.

    If you use a tumble dryer without a vent kit you will end up with damp and condensation problems. The condenser dryers are better if you aren't able to vent. We have a front vented tumble dryer which we use a condenser box with but still need to have the window open as well.

    am i right in thinking with a condenser one you dont have to have any windows open as it would be in a room with no windows

    yes a condenser takes away the need for the same amount of venting that is needed by a standard tumble dryer

    We bought a cheap White Knight condenser dryer and it broke just out of warranty. Condenser dryers are expensive to fix due to its circuit board, I wish we would have bought a normal dryer and a condenser box.
