Id strongly advise....
Not buying the AEG. 1 The heatpump technology is unproven with regard to effectivness/reliability 2 The Aeg uses 2.4kw to dry a 6kg load or approx 0.4 kwh/kg 3 The TOL Zanussi ZDB 5377W uses 3.95kw but has a 7kg load making it approx 0.56kwh/kg- its about to be replaced so if you shop around you should be able to find it for around £300. Thats an awful lot of laundry youve gotta do to save £200 worth of Electricity lol!!. Seamus One thing in the AEGs favour is the 5 year guarantee- if you were to buy this on the Zanussi it would be approx £80 extra to consider. (And yup I do sell White goods for a living;) ) | ||

The White Knight then must be vented, because I would think that a condenser dryer would not work without a high temperature differnetial between the tub air and the condensing fluid (air/water). So what is the deal with pumping room air to the outdoors for 8 hours. Can this possibly save energy when the "big picture" is considered? (Think cold winter night). | ||

8 hours to dry? What about the massive wear and tear on the clothes? Anyone thought about that?? | ||
