The Best Condenser / Tumble Dryer To Be Used Indoors ?
7 Answers
we need a tumble dryer, something economical and cheap on electric , i have heard they can be hard on electric but we currently use our radiators to dry clothes and it produces steam/condensation plus gas heating is used to heat radiators also so i think if we got a tumble dryer which could dry a 8k batch of clothes inside say 30 minutes this would be better than waiting on lots of clothes to dry on the radiators ? i imagine the dry heat blown out from the tumble dryer will also heat the spare room upstairs ?
advise on this please.
ps, my daughter suffers excema which comes on when there is lot of condensation in house.

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.I just bought an Indesit 8kg load. As far as I can see it's doing a good job. The warm air dries the clothes and the moisture is collected in the condenser which I empty regularly. I've never heard of a tumble drier that will dry an 8kg load in 30 minutes. No bother with condensation either. Have you ever used a tumble drier?
There's no such thing as a tumble-drier that's cheap to run...some are cheaper than others.

Some of the new one have an internal heat pump
This makes them very much more economical to run
It does make them more expensive to buy
I think I worked out in my case it would pay for itself after a few years so wasn't worth my changing my existing one but depending on how much tumbling you do you'd want to check the maths for yourself
Some Condenser tumble driers use cold water to condense the steam so need a water supply and can up your water bill if you're on a meter
