    Is this a rumour or myth, I have heard that Electolux group now manufacture a tumble dryer which uses no heater but a compressor and uses a small system similar to air conditioning unit.

    Is it me or is the world going mad 🙄

    confused

    Just got a call about one of these making a clunking noise. Checked up here first and used Alex’s link to look it up on Lux site. I was so glad to find that the manufacturers give a free 5 year guarantee on this product. :duck: Rang customer and advised her to check it out.

    I have been to three of these appliances, 2 with the cooling fan @ the bottom front coming loose causing fan to jam/ be noisy and one with fan fitted in reverse, sucking instead of blowing!

    Very clever in principal, takes an age to dry.

    Basically, the condenser is refrigerated and the waste heat from the comp is channeled into the drum to dry the laundry!

    Brilliant! A+ energy rating (a fridge that dries your washing)
