Can anyone recommend an affordable energy efficient vented tumble dryer? Price range up to £280. Thanks |

Zanussi do three models. This is the lowest featured version. Venting seems to be centre of rear, or optional left-hand side. CLICK HERE TO GO TO Rolls_rapide's LINK

I guess you ain't got no Sears there.....Kenmore is always good and usually inexpensive as well. |

At least here in USA they have been required on even BOL dryers for yonks now. Even compact/portable 120v dryers have sensors. IIRC federal government mandated the things as part of energy savings measures.
Case in point my vintage Whirlpool portable/compact dryer (in Harvest Gold, which gives an indication of age), has only timed dry. Newer models sold today have sensors. www.searsoutlet.com/LDR38... |

In that case, look at White Knight. Their website seems to show price reductions... £149, £159! CLICK HERE TO GO TO Rolls_rapide's LINK |

What about this dryer? 3 KG compact dryer. Any good? If not then i will go for the B rated White Knight one direct from White Knight themselves. Thanks for all the recommendations.

Hopeless for sheets, those little ones. And not so good for producing crease free garments either. If neither of these are an issue then go for it. Otherwise (click link) I think this is where my money would go right now. CLICK HERE TO GO TO nickuk's LINK |

this is a "good buy" if it's just to go in a garage or something (less electronics to go wrong) Get rid of all the lint after each load though or keep a fire extinguisher nearby. Just saying. CLICK HERE TO GO TO nickuk's LINK |

It seems, like the AEG vented dryer, that venting is optionally: left, or rear, or right. Sensible. |

Having used Electrolux, BSH, Miele and Whirlpool sensor dryers, I xan say that indeed sometimes sensors are of and sometimes they are spot on. General denil abou that is just ignorance. No dryer ever should run at temps below 5C. Danger of frost and thus damage to the machine. Further it lowers the efficency. |

That I bough at a thrift store 15+ years ago for $20 has been working perfectly out on my screened-in-porch, I have often been amazed whether it is 90F+ or well below freezing it always works perfectly, I certainly never removed anything damp from it.
I use this old Harvest Gold Imperial Mark -12 about 75% of the time to dry clothing at home because I like the clean fresh smell of clothing dried outdoors.
The rest of my home clothes drying is done in a similar 1975 N-gas LKM dryer in the basement, I tend to use the indoor dryer when the inside and outdoor temperatures are similar so you don't have to worry about pulling hot-humid or very cold into the house.

I'm currently enjoying using a uni-directional White Knight CL311 Compact dryer.
I'm amazed at just how quick it dries a 3 kg cotton load in just 50 minutes after being spun at 1500 rpm.

I have a timed dryer and have owned one for 13 years and it is a Bosch Classixx WTL6003GB and it does dry clothes well and I am considering upgrading to sensor dryer to match the washer in the utility
My advice is a Hotpoint or Indesit as they are B rated which is the most energy efficient dryer at that price level CLICK HERE TO GO TO washerguy02's LINK |

@Washerguy02 The Indesit/Hotpoint tumble dryers are made in the UK now so are these ones safe from the product recall for fire safety? I agree the B rated is pretty good for a tumble dryer. |

Hotpoint etc have been made in Yate, Bristol, at the former Creda factory before, during and after the safety fiasco. They are the only (loose) remnant left of Creda. |
