OT: New washer/dryer

Grumps · 2019-07-01T14:00:24+00:00

HiDaughter has a 3rd floor appartment (probably not relevant) and in her kitchen she has a built-in washer/dryer (with a cupboard door over the front).The dryer part has never really worked - it seems to get everything hot and steamy, but not dry. The washer part make strange clunky noises and yesterday needed a lot of cajoling to make it release the door.So, it's time for a new one.Is there a real important reason why a freestanding unit cannot be stuffed into a 600mm wide gap as if it were a built-in version? Yes the door may not fit, and yes the plinth will need trimming. But otherwise?Ta.

Is it?

Our TD uses approximately 1.41 kWh with a full load of 8 kg cottons.

Do you have a figure for wardrobe drying (with dehumidifier) of a similar amount? And how long they would take to dry?

ISTRT with ours the mangle could be swivelled between two sides, and the water collector magically flipped to point the right way, except when it didn't...

Great excitement when we eventually got a separate spin dryer.

Much later, at my own place, I took over an AEG twin-tub that a relative had finished with. Built like a battleship, and. it had a facility to rinse by running water into the spinner.
