Re: Replacement for my washer dryer
Thank you both very much for the advice. I think we will buy a mid range washing machine soon (as we’re coming up to spring/summer and can probably do without a dryer) and then over the summer I will get DH to construct some kind of outside storage and we’ll buy a cheap White Knight vented dryer come autumn time. At least this way it spreads the cost a bit.
So… are Bosch a good enough make for the washing machine? Any specific models to recommend?Re: Replacement for my washer dryer
Thank you for the reply- suspected this might be the answer.
A few more questions if I may-
Would a cheap dryer and a mid priced washing machine provide a better solution than a washer dryer? I was looking at the LG one on the JL site as an alternative.
If so- is there any reason I couldn’t put the dryer outside if we found storage that would be sufficiently waterproof?
On another tack, is there such a thing as a slimline dryer? We could create an additional space, but maximum width would be 53cm. We could fit our slimline dishwasher in there, but that would require plumbing, which is obstructed by the cooker.
Another thought- could a compact tumble dryer go on an upright fridge freezer? Or wall mount or something above it? Would a compact dryer suffice for the amount of washing that would be dried in it (approx 1/3 of a load per day)?
We could get rid of the dishwasher and put in a proper tumble dryer, but we use the dishwasher every day, whereas the clothes drying is only necessary for a third of the year, and even then only dealing with a third of the washing I do.
TIA for the patience 🙂
