Have you seen this? the new AEG-Electrolux heat pump dryer T59800, it was about time that somebody started to produce them! And the price isn't that bad either! Around 1000€ in Italy, it only uses 0,4kW per kg of dried laundry! Half than a conventional condenser dryer!!!
And is more silent too according to AEG, only 66dB on the averange of 70 for a traditional model!
I definitely want one of those!!!

I hope this is brought to the US! From what I understand, this would be a great dryer for use during the summer!!! A heat pump is basically a reversed air conditioner right? It sends the cold freon outside to heat up then passes air over the hot freon and into the dryer. So it would suck all the heat out of the room and put it into the dryer! How smart! (In summer that is!)

Oh no, it is completely self contained, the air (and heat too) go into a closed cycle, it's the same air that circulates on the machine without escaping into the room. The air is heated from the compressor side of the heat cycle, enters the drum, retains moisture, then passing over the evaporator cools down and condenses water that goes in the tray, then cold and dry goes back to the hot side and starts over again. The temperature in the room shouldn't change a little bit, just like when using a "traditional" condenser dryer.
Anyway... in the summer I get dry clothes in just 4-5 hours from hanging, so a dryer is not that useful to me.

I was told, that the AEG heat pump dryer isnīt very good at all.
The qualitiy is bad and a drying-cycle takes about 2 hours.
If I were you, Jamie I would buy an Blomberg heat-pump dryer.
Iīll show you picīs.

Nino,

The AEG and the Blomberg are quite similar products, Blomberg uses the AEG technology. If you don't like the AEG you won't like the Blomberg either.

Well, if you say that Louis, I have to believe that!
But Iīm disappointed of AEG, and Iīll never buy AEG again!
A friend of mine hast the Blomberg dryer and is really pleased with it.
Even the AEG repairman said, that their heat-pump dryer is bad!

Really, so bad?? I'd go buy that dryer for sure for winter time! Now it's useless but I'd love to have it at home.
A drying time of 2 hours is standard in Europe, the thing must run on only 10 amps so the maximum power it can drain is around 2200W. It takes the time it takes! And AEG says it dries at a lower temperature than ordinary dryers, around 30°C less so it's much more gentle.To me the only real drawback is the price tag! At 1000€ it's twice the price than a standard dryer.
Never heard of Blomberg here in Italy, maybe they sell it only in north Europe?

Yes, really so bad.
2 year-old AEG lavamat 78800 => broken ( clanks by spinning )
3 year-old AEG Lavatherm T 523 => broken ( incontinent, makes scrappy noises by spinning )
I dont think, that a drying-time of 2 hours is standard, my dryer dries a load of towels spun @ 1800 rpm in 60 min, spun @ 1400 rpm in 70 min.
I dry delicates with a delicate-cycle so I donīt need a gentle drying-temeperature.
And why should I dry towels for e.g @ 30°?
Time is money, ans so I want to chose, if I like money or time, and with an HP-dryer it isnīt possible to chose.

Dryers

Ciao Dj Gabriele. Blomberg is a brand not imported here in Italy. It was once owned by elco brandt (Sangiorgio,Thomson...) and now by the turkish Beko. You can find Blomberg machines mainly in north Europe. If you really want to buy a reliable and B class condenser dryer you should take in serious consideration the Miele T 7644C: It's the economical line, it's B class and really works very well. Drying times obviously depend how much you spun your clothes. Mine usually takes 1h/10m to dry at the maximum level a complete load of cottons spun at 1600 rpm. Aeg is no longer what used to be especially regarding reliability.
