If you look at the bottom of the technical specifications you will find the dryer just consumes 1200W! No wonder it has an "A" classification. Emilio |

The problem is probably dealing with the lint. All three of my sisters have dehumifiers in their basement laundry rooms and all get clogged with lint and have to be vacuummed. I don't mean to be a wet blanket (pun intended) but I don't think people would stand for that. As it is, some people don't even know what brand their dryer is because "It's no fun to use so I try not to look at it".

The Equator combo W/D uses cold water from the washer's supply hose to cool down the condenser area. Wastes a lot of water but uses less electricity. There are other condensing dryers that use cold water as well. |

Remember when I was back at school, our Home Economics lab had a water cooler full sized dryer. Cannot remember the brand name, but one day when helping the home ec instructor load the dryer she complained about having to use it even when there was a water shortage. Really is a shame that an effective full sized condenser dryer is not around. But then again every system of drying laundry which does not vent the exhaust has to over come the "lint" problem. Many people think because they cannot "see" lint dust coming out of a dryer vent it is not there, which simply is not true. This especially applies to those who use those indoor water bucket vent things. Lint is a fine dust that is quite difficult to filter, and a pair of nylons wrapped over the aforementioned bucket is not going to do the job. Over time that lint goes every where and gets on and into every thing, especially electronic equipment and appliances that use any sort of fan/motor such as computers. This fine lint is also combustible, VERY combustible which is the reason for all those warnings about keeping dryer lint filters and vent runs clean. Commercial laundries/laundromats often have such fires if the owners are not doing routine exhaust cleaning. L. |

What's intersting about this is that the heat produducng "coil" of the heat-pump heats the drum air loop. It would make sense to cool the incoming room air that is used to cool the condenser with the other side (coil) of the HP. The bigger the tenperature difference between the air to be dried and the condensing air-stream means greater effectiveness! A win-win situation! Posting fom GadgetGary's log-in.
