= sliding oven door with trays. Basically, a type of drawer system. |

I had the beko heat pump dryer for 3.5 years and there were 2 things that I hated but thought it was just me being picky....
1 it tangled all bedding no matter what cycle was used 2 that hateful black sponge filter on the condenser it used to drive me nuts cleaning it. Sold the beko to replace it with a John Lewis = AEG in disguise and wow what a difference you select bedding and it reverses equally and thus untangles the sheets it also dries very evenly and there is NO sponge filter just a second sealed almost like fine gauze one that you vacuum or brush clean every so often. I am pleased the Grundig is the same as I had contemplated one when my AEG dies but if they didn't improve the filter system or the tangling issue I will buy another AEG instead as sadly Miele heat pump dyers I believe have an omnidirectional motor so no good for fitted sheets.

That's not very green, is it? Since they don't really recycle these products do they ship them to Africa or do they end up in local landfill? |

Possibly, yes. But on the other hand some airconditioners have run for a long time, so that might happen to heat pump dryers too. So far I like my heat pump dryer, I'll see how it turns out in the end.
The shirt's cycle on the Grundig, is that a cycle too that partially dries the shirts so they can be hung up? |

Regarding "super fast in this warmer weather..." Does that also mean that heatpump dryers are possibly more problematic in a cold room, in the middle of winter (eg. room temp of 9°C)? |

Will slow them down. Heating power is minimal, so a hot start makes far more of a difference. Most state operating temps between 5 and 35C. |

In winter the shower room where the washer and dryer reside is slightly cooler than the rest of the house but not by much and it never goes down anywhere near 5c as I have read they don't work too well in really cold places.
It must be affected by warmer rinse water too as it must knock a good 20 mins off the drying time I only notice its shorter when I realise the dryer is doing its anti crease bit much sooner than I am used to. I also have a vented dryer in the shed for doing dog bedding as the hairs in the inside machines drives me nuts so have a separate one its an old Zanussi from 2001 - 2002 still going strong. Prefer the gentleness of the HP on clothing though as why wash warm and cook to dry :) |
