Hai, I'm in the market for a new dryer. My bauknecht died within 8 years and it will cost to much to fix it. I noticed that only miele and electrolux still have the filter in the door. All other brands have them under the door. Don't understand why. I find it very annoying because sometimes coins are trapped under the lintfilter and over here the filterhousing is much to small to put your hand in and take the coins... Why is that? Give me a solid door dryer with the filter mounted on the door. There as always larger and trapping more lint!

Electrolux driers have the lint filter in the door. There is another small one under the door that you just wipe after its done. I'm pretty impressed with the dryer.

While there are probably better reasons than these for changing the location of the lint filter, two come to mind. Moving the lint filter off the door gives the option of having a window in the door in some high end models. It also improves efficiency over a straight axial air flow front to back through the middle of the drum. Small loads, and lighter weight fabrics especially, tend to follow the circumference of the drum during tumbling (unless the dryer has a variable tumble speed) rather than falling more from the top to the bottom of the drum, keeping them out of the air stream when it runs through the middle of the drum. Having the lint filter housing below the door pulls the heated air down, at least a little, where any load is going to pass near the bottom of the drum which might result in more efficient drying for all loads, but especially for smaller loads.

 Also recently bought an electrolux condenser dryer, and I'm very impressed it's working very well!
I'm getting excellent results, very little noise and very fluffy clothes :D

Is that why Miele changed their patern in the filter holder in the door. Only holes downwards?
