Re: Is a condenser dryer worth it?what should i look for?

Hi,

With my Zanussi TC470 condenser drier (bought in 1998), you still have to open the window, in order to allow the room to remain cooler than the drier. (The drier sucks in cool air at floor level and blows it over the condenser unit, condensing water vapour out of the heated recirculation airflow).

If the room has poor ventilation, poor ‘condensing-out’ will occur, creating a humid room.

The condenser unit also requires periodic cleaning (under a powerful tap) in order to remove accumulated fluff, which restricts airflow.

Hi, thanks for that trilobite.

I’m digressing here but wasn’t a trilobite a prehistoric creature? maybe it was a trilobyte

Thank you for the reply, however, what I cannot understand is why the kitchen of my daughters does not get the same thing. She does not get any condensation at all.

I cannot see the point in paying extra for a condencing tumble dryer if you still have to have the door open.

Another possibility why some experience condensation built-up whilst others using the same model don’t, could be associated to final spin speed of your washing machine?

If the washing machine does not spin so fast the moisture content in the clothes going into the dryer can be a factor?
