Tumble Dryers - to condense or duct out?

[Doctor Drivel]

There are few about and most are made by quality makers anyhow.

[Andy Burns]

Why does that stop you recommending one?

[Doctor Drivel]

There isn't much choice.

I'm no expert but, at the price, heat pump based machines would have to last much longer than any current domestic appliance to make them cost effective over their lifetime.

And the n'th generation "frost free" freezers are every bit as bad, if not worse. Often the first generation products of a new technology are over-engineered during the period where they don't need to compete so much over price. After a few iterations (almost) everything is built down to a price and will be less reliable IMHO.

I'd guess that a heat pump would last about as long as a fridge compressor, but this is only a guess.

Hi Michael,

If you're not interested I'll stick it back in my bits box.
