here is just a quick vid of my friends Simpson Maxidry clothes dryer. These were good dryers from what i can remember. This dryer is in the classic Australian position- hanging above the washer for easy loading and space use. He also has a Maytag washer but i don't know which model, all i know is it is 8kgs and LOUD lol. Sorry about the background noise, this was taken at a party and people needed to dry their clothes after being in the pool (don't worry, i made them all spin their clothes first lol) Enjoy Matt CLICK HERE TO GO TO mattywashboy's LINK |

I like the window in the door. I'm surprised that wall-mounted dryers never caught on here, but with the ban on outdoor clotheslines and drying, I guess it would have been doomed from the start. Maytag and others had compact dryers that could be mounted on the wall above a washer - I did this when I lived in Phoenix, AZ with a Maytag Porta-Dryer. I think Kelly, mixfinder, has a WCI - GE labeled machine that was sold to hang on the wall above their compact top-loading washer. |

That's absolutely crazy. Why would you want to ban drying clothes outside? It's far far more environmentally friendly. In an age when we're trying to cut down greenhouse gas emissions that's simply nuts. |

When I lived in Oz I thought it was a great idea to hang the dryer on the wall but they all seemed to be small dryers. Do they hang the full sized ones as well or are they just too heavy? |

~That's absolutely crazy. Why would you want to ban drying clothes outside? In densely packed/populated urban areas (verticle cities) line-drying can become unsightly. In many areas of this country heating season and/or below freezing temps may be longer than half the year. Line drying is not necessarily a practical option. Enivironment: If you have to iron much of your laundry with an electric iron when line-dried (esp. if spun and wrinkled to death) as opposed to drying it with gas (fluffy and much de-wrinkled), I'm not sure there is a huge energy savings. Food for thought. What is "wasted" by machine drying may be compensated-for by high-density smaller-unit housing. Much is saved by heating and cooling attached and surrounded apartment units rather than a free-standing house. |

~It is a no-brainer really that line drying is more environmentally friendlier than tumble drying. No one said it is not. Like everything else in life, it has advantages and disavantages. Well as far as more environmentally friendly goes, perhaps we should not excrete our (human) waste products anymore.So please, no energy fields, gasses, liquids or solids allowed out of anyone anymore. Agreed? *LOL* :-) Also "environmentally friendly" can be thought of as having ONE washer per family. Not 10 per person! *LOL* BTW, Our dryers are larger. They iron for you and save on that chore, and the energy consumed doing it. Besides good smell or not, I don't care for sandpaper towels or other articles of clothing. (Fabric softener is NOT environmentally friendly, in the sense of unnecessary.) Remember: Everyone believe their way is best, or they would change it! Here's another culturalism "Time is money". I could be working an extra half hour a day making money rather than hanging out laundry. Or for the lazy, reclining for an extra half hour a day!!!! *LOL* |
