The new dryer is £749 plus delivery, the old one when I looked was available at £649 easily.
I can see the improvements with the new washer, the new (and bigger) drum for example. Is the new dryer actually improved as well, or has it just cost more to source and manufacture?
Increased load size.
B rated for energy use now.
Improved filtration.
New software.
New display etc.
Improved condenser unit.
There’s a few changes been made. 😉

Re: New ISE10 CD601W Tumble Dryer
Didnt think ise would bother to make a new model if there wasnt much improvement! If i used a tumble dryer often then i would be buying one to match my 1607 when it arrives, which i hope will be soon! :bounce: I have considered a tumble dryer for use very occasionally, a dozen times a year if that, to be precise. But i wouldnt know what make i would have if i didnt have an ise!
When my 1607 washer comes i will be :popcorn: watching the first load!

Thanks. We have a combined unit at the moment and use the dryer part may be once a month. I am reconciled to spending a lot for a bloomin good washer with a 10 year warranty, but less sure on the dryer. If we had it then obviously we’d use it in preference to radiators/bannisters/doors (and even occasionally the garden!).
ISE do say that the best dryer option is hanging out the laundry. I know, I wrote it. 😉
It’s cheaper, more environmentally friendly and also does a better job over any dryer IMHO.
But, if you need a dryer for speed or because of circumstance then there’s no point having one that’s a bit naff.

Re: New ISE10 CD601W Tumble Dryer
Hi jaunty,
I would be tempted to use it probably too much i think! Wonder what the electricity consumption of a dryer is nowadays? I had a washer/dryer that lasted 17 years (would you believe an indesit!) but the longevity of that particular appliance was probably due to the fact that i used the dryer part only 3 times!
I would have to put any dryer i had in the outhouse as there is no room in my kitchen and i think i read somewhere that a vented dryer may be better for use in an area of extreme varying temperatures, i this correct please?
thanks all 🙂

Not Ken, but AFAIK they are not yet on the main ISE site, but the new dryer is up on the UKWG site here:

No not yet as the site is getting a facelift, totally new site basically so there was little point in wasting time on the old one.
It was supposed to be live by now but, you know, the old “technical issues” crept in. :rolls:

Yes.
Every dryer has to draw cool air and have a ready supply of air to use, without it then you are wasting your time.
Too hot and the machines don’t condense and dry correctly. This is very common in confined spaces with limited airflow.
Too cold and the dryer has to work overtime to operate correctly.
If extremes a vented dryer is better but can still face problems. But vented dryers are a dying breed and set to become still more so in the near future as the industry marches toward energy saving as the new messiah of appliances. You will see more and more de-listed with condenser or heat pump dryers replacing them as (especially in respect to the latter) it’s the only way you can reduce the energy consumption.
Production will move that way en-masse, prices will fall a bit on the likes of heat pump and vented will die a slow death.
The advice is really, really though simple with all kitchen appliances, they are designed to work indoors at “normal” room temperatures and are not designed to operate outside in the Arctic Circle nor are they designed to work in areas of high humidity, temperatures in excess of normal homes and so on. If you stray outside the parameters then you are lucky if they work okay. That applies to all appliances, not just any one particular flavour.
This is even more of an issue on today’s electronically controlled machines and, they have to be that way to get the energy ratings, as they tend to be much more sensitive to operation outside the accepted norms.
The short of it is, you can’t have your cake and eat it. You can’t have superb energy conservation, all the funky control and features as well as them operating like old appliances of yesteryear wherever you choose to put them. It’s just not achievable.

We use the line in the summer but it’s often difficult drying outside this time of year, especially if you’re not at home to bring everything in if rain threatens unexpectedly. Moreover, freeze drying clothes doesn’t seem to work very well :rolls: We don’t like drying too much in the house as it’s not the warmest and runs the risk of mold so, for us, a mechanical dryer makes a huge difference.
Re: New ISE10 CD601W Tumble Dryer
hi ken,
I do usually have a blow heater in the outhouse in the winter due to pipes, taps etc and i did think about using polystyrene under, above and eitherside, but perhaps this will not be enough either 🙁
As i said it would only be used on very few occasions, so perhaps i will just’ carry on as berfore’
thanks for advice

ps thanks for all your help in securing my 1607 🙂
