    Same as Weebro here - I just open the garage side door when I'm using the dryer and put the tube into a bucket - been doing it this way for 2 years now and seems to work fine

    Been using a Bosch condenser dryer in our garage for over eight years, never had any problems with it, clean the main filter every six months and the fluff filter about once a fortnight.

    I think you may have had a faulty condenser dryer, we have one and it's never caused us any problem att all regards breakdowns etc. and it's put to a lot of use

    Hi
    (we clean the condensor part at least every week and the fluff filter every time we use the machine) but as the fluff builds up water gets into some part which causes it to short, it costs £30 each time to fix, because of this am a little put off about getting another condensor tuble dryer (hotpoint one anyway)

    How often do you empty the water. My mum was housesitting for my sister and didn't realise that it needed to be emptied every time. Needless to say it broke.

    I have a Hotpoint condenser drier too, but fortunately not had any problems yet.
