Any tumble dryers with top emptying water tanks ?

We have a Bosch condenser tumble dryer which has the water container at the top left hand side.

Our Miele also has a top left water drawer.  Sounds like having the drawer at the bottom of the machine is the exception, rather than the rule.

Most of the heat pump tumble dryers come with a top load water container and also the option to plumb into the waste - easy diy fix

We have a Beko with the drawer at the top. Come to think of it, I'm not sure I've ever seen a dryer with the drawer at the bottom! That said, we have ours plumbed in. I just had to pull a hose off a connector on the back of the condensate drawer bit, and hook it up to the drain instead, as you would with a washing machine. I'm not sure why everyone doesn't do that (unless the dryer is too far from the nearest drain, obviously).

Miele also top left, also simple option to plumb it to a waste pipe too if one is near by. We were in two minds as the dryer has a steam function which was deionised water which it points out the waste water is so if we plumbed it in would have to have an alternative source to fill it when wanting to use the steam. 

A Quick Look at AO it certainly looks like it's the norm, could only quickly see one Candy machine where it appears to be in the plinth rather than top left.

I second the idea of plumbing the dryer into the drain.

We have a hotpoint and it was very simple. We bought a kit from Amazon, then there was a push on pipe on the back of the machine I unplugged. Then simply pushed the kit pipe on where that one was and put the other end it into the same drain as the washing machine uses.

Good point - that's probably a sound reason why people in hard water areas might not want to plumb their dryers in - it's a useful source of deionised water for steamers, irons and some other things. Not an issue around here though.
