Somebody should definitely get this dryer....especially since it's FREE and also a working vintage appliance. It would be a total shame to see it go to the beyond. |

If no one has already taken it, I will. I just need to arrange transport if Mab44107 can hang on to it until then. I tried to email but the "address" comes back as not valid. |

Does anyone know the dimensions on this dryer: width, depth, height, & the weight, too? I am looking for quotes for shipping & I want to be as close as possible. Thanks. |

She emailed me today. If you want it, go get it. She says it is in the garage of her new house. I did the "Uship" thing to get quotes. I just didn't want it to get trashed. Let me know. bc |

I don't want any hard feelings against me (Plus, if I didn't have to spend $600.00 for shipping that would be okay, too...). bc |

Akronman - enjoyed the links and viewing your 1-18 and w/d - I'm still getting familiar with all these units..with the lid open, "Jet-Action" caught my eye. LOL! Jet Action - it was fun growing up in the jet age, as others here probably know. Congrats to brainardcooper (Brian?) on picking up the dryer...free!

Thanks for the information from everyone. Who can tell me some of the pros & cons of a "Filtrator" Dryer? (is that the correct spelling?) Brainard |

You only need to clean the "Super Filtrator" 2 or 3 times a year! |

Now my goal is to find a matching or near-matching washer & I am willing to pay $$$ for it, too! |

Cannot speak for Frigidaire per se, but unless you install this unit in a cool and dry location you won't be firing it up until the Fall or Winter. That is unless your local weather produces some cool and crisp days or nights this summer. My AEG condenser dryer is not used once temps reach >50F and remain.

Have heard of a filtrator type dryer before, but how are they different mechanically from regular dryers?And how does the outside temp affect their operation? Beautifully styled machine though. Have never seen this type of model. Les. |

Warm moist air instead of being vented out of the room and building via a hose is sent over a series of metal plates. It is there that the moisture supposedly "condenses" out of the air and drains into a pan or is pumped into a container. The now less humid air is returned to the drum (heated if necessary) and the cycle repeats itself over and over.
Instead of the hot and often dry chamber we are mostly used to with dryers, the inside of a condenser dryer is moist and often steamy. While this does make for some fluffy towels and smooth laundry, it is not without some downsides. Most notably condenser dryers *can* heat and steam up a room. |

In my family home in Chattanooga we have a very large & cool basement that will be perfect for this dryer. I can't wait to get it there. In the meantime I will be searching for a washing machine to match this dryer. |
