I don't get it...if its a condenser dryer why was it vented...i thought condensers saved the water in a sump and pumped it into a drain and the air just recirculated...or are there different versions of this type? I am considering a condenser version for my main level of my house...the dryer I have vents outside and sucks the AC/Heat out of my house wasting energy...so then I use the sets in the basement where I can open a window and exchange the air in that one room only, saving the conditioned air... buta very nice deal otherwise...I would consider it if I wan't so far away |

I had the set in Florida.Mine was all digital and the dryer was a condencer type.The average dry time was 55 minutes after a 1600 rpm spin.I could dry the clothes faster on the line.There was a tray that was located on the left upper corner of the control panel.After the drying was over,you had to remove the tray and drain the water from the clothes out.There was also a filter tray that was located under the blower.It would accumulate lots of lint causing the unit to overheat and make the "watchman"shut the unit down.On the rear of the dryer there's an overload button you had to push to reset after cleaning out the lint.Lots of maintanance that most American consumers are totaly unaware of and would never even attempt to perform expecting that service to be handled by some "authorised"technition.

I have an Asko washer and I'm content with it. It is not the same quality as the Miele it replaced, but it does a good job. I have used it for more than two years now without any problem. |

I liked mine a lot too. It was just the room mate,Orma,I had who hated it. well,she thought that the temperature was ferinheit instead of Celsious the first time she used it and called me at work asking me why her panties went from her size to Barbie's? She thought that 65C ment 65F and boiled her laundry!I laughed so hard,I cried. However,she was not amused.I used both Fresh Start and WiskHE detergents and only 3 tablespoons of them.That washer rocked and was great in balancing big loads like bedspreads and sheets.Anything that fit and allowed you to close the door got washed and rinsed thoroughly.

Sure blame the machine; maybe her @$$ grew. Good for her for having panties made of natural materials. Underwear made of synthetic fibers traps moisture which leads to odors. |

I got my Asko by the curbside ready to be thrown out. Needed a new motor, but it runs great now. The rinsing is great, you can choose high level rinses and on that model it can do up to 7 rinses. I have an older electronic model 20605 that spins at 1600. Problems seem to be motor and electronic control boards. The motor alone is worth $400 so if that works, you're already even.

Its a no brainer Steve, go for it...!!! had my set coming up to 9yrs now and they are great units, 1600rpm washer & condenser dryer, the vented dryer will be quicker and slightly cheaper to use..... You can choose wash time from extra long + pre-wash 2.5hrs from cold to 95d, normal, quick & extra quick, I can use the extra quick, 95d nr boiling, high water level with super rinse, all in 55 mins...purfect.... 40d average wash in 42 mins with 1600rpm, very flexible units... |

*LOL* When battery-operated toys become a bore, a girl has to trade-up to heavy-duty large plug-in devices! Just picked up a huge mid '70s Whirlpool... see pink forum for details! *WINK* |
