AEG and Blomberg make these
Our version of consumer reports, Stiftung Warentest, promptly lowered their already poor opinion of other clothes dryers' efficiency yet again when they came on the market. I can't find any data on their reliability, note that every 10 years or so they are "newly discovered", cost a fortune and then sort of disappear for a while. A good idea, but I bet the high purchase price holds them back. See the link, sorry it's in German - the main idea is, they get an efficiency rating of "A" instead of "C" (very rarely "B") on energy which is otherwise standard here for dryers.

Here is the link to the English Blomberg homepage: www.blomberginternational.com/en/... Click on "Free Standing" to see their dryers. Also check out their TOL dishwasher: www.blomberginternational.com/EN/... Alex | ||

The Blomberg dryer uses triple-stage filtration: a regular lint filter and two sponge filters. BTW: these dryers (and probably most other dryers, too) don't use pressure sensors to shut off in case of a restricted air flow. Several thermostats measure the internal temperature - if it gets too hot the machine shuts off. User's manual: CLICK HERE TO GO TO logixx's LINK | ||

How could I forget that V-Zug has a heatpump dryer too? The design of this one is different, there is a huge box for the heatpump on top of the dryer. Very unlike the AEG/Blomberg model that has a much smaller heatpump that fits in the standard cabinet. CLICK HERE TO GO TO foraloysius's LINK | ||
