Sorry, I was channeling Yul Brenner there for a moment. But really, has anyone had any experience with the new Splendide VENTED combo? I wonder how the drying is. |

Combo, I had one also, but these are Vented. I wonder if it makes a difference? Site Propaganda says the size is also bigger. |

Vented would be slightly better than the condenser versions. You still are dealing with the same issues that plague all combo W&D units. That is you are making trade-offs in getting an all in one unit. For some that is worth dealing with any potential short comings.

99% of homes and apartments in the US have either a gas range or a 208-240 volt range so people do have access to these options.
A 120 volt WP comp[act dryer is still better than a 24" vented 120 volt combo for drying clothing. The vented [ or condensing ] combos sold in this country are too small in capacity to be a decent dryer and they are very short lived before failing. |

As a former owner of a 120 volt Whirlpool compact dryer. |

"99% of homes and apartments in the US have either a gas range"
While one supposes that statement is true it does not mean tenants (rental housing) can or even have the right to install a gas dryer. Most every lease have seen at least in New York has the common boiler plate language forbidding installing appliances or whatever without the explicit permission of landlord. NYC government and utilities are very touchy atm about illegal gas connections, in particular after a few major disasters like this: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2015_East_... Anyone around here who installs a gas dryer or any other such appliance without permission will quickly find themselves out on the street. Not even for a dryer, but would love one of those vintage gas heated ironers, but even I know when to leave well enough alone. |
