Who would put a baby in a dryer? Here we just use a towel for them. |

See my disclaimer on pic 2- its for baby clothes lol! Carl Glad you like it :-)- its defiantly trying to be above its Zanussi roots lol ;-) Jonny It will be stacked on an Electrolux Insight washing machine with exactly the same design control panel. The only thing that wont match is the Zanussi - Electrolux branding. Still for what it cost me I really cant complain-it was about 45% off the normal cost price!! Seamus |

Where is the lint filter? If this is a condensing, where is the water dump? Does it have a hosepipe? Lawrence/Maytagbear |

Hey Lawrence There are actually 2- the main one slots into the door,see pic one- you can see the recess to remove it on the top. This is very fine so it should remove most of the lint. The 2nd one is at the bottom of the drum opening- its most obvious in the last pic ;). The condensed water container takes the place of the detergent drawer and pulls out in the same way. It can be converted to permanent drain if required :) Seamus. P.s Darren-it should be delivered tomorrow- will sort pics asap ;) |

Everytime I read that in a UK thread I wonder what on earth??? Condensers, at least in Germany do not run at "high" temperatures. Has anyone actually go thermostat specs proving they are much warmer than conventional dryers? I think it more likely that they run quite a bit longer than do exhaust dryers and for this reason the clothes come out feeling warmer. I just can not imagine a dryer with "delicate" or even "permanent-press/synthetic" settings running "hot". |

Not really "hot". By any index. However, the problem is easily solved - just have the thermostat (whether mechanical button) or (calibrated diode/resistor) swapped out. Funny, neither my ancient Mielen nor my "Matura" (AEG) nor my current AEG have ever shrunk or damaged anything. All three were MOL at the time I bought them. I am not doubting you, I just don't understand it. And 50° is by no means warm enough to explain the damage. (50°C =122°F) |

Now ive had a chance to put it through its paces I have to say the difference in performance compared with the 2000 model Creda is replaced is astounding!- not only does it take at least 15 mins off the dry time for a full load, it also collects maybe twice as much water!. A load consisting of 2 pretty thick bathmats, one large bath sheet, couple of white tops and a single bedding set spun @ 1200 in the Insight was done in under 1hr 20. Thats at least 15 mins less than the Creda! Overall I like it :) Seamus |

Hey Keven I have to admit it normally goes down the drain, maybe I will rinse the bath with it if ive just got out tho!. I have a filter jug for drinking water and the iron is filled from that :). Another thing I forgot to mention im really impressed with is the lint filtration- its far better than the Creda as well!! Seamus |
