Hey Guys
Im seriously considering this to go with my W5740- I could probably get it for under £100 more than the standard condenser when the cashback is taken into account.
Thoughts??

If you know your energy costs and what the two machines consume, then you can calculate an annual operational cost for both.

You can then calculate a simple payback analysis to see how long it would take you to recoup the cost difference.

If it were me, I'd also take into account the warranty and the complexity/potential cost of repair for the heat pump dryer to see if the energy savings were worth it.

Also remember, time is money. I'm not sure whether there's actually a difference (some other people here might have the answer to that), but if, say, the heat pump dryer is faster but more expensive, it might still be worth it if there's time to be saved. If, on the other hand, the condenser dryer is less expensive to buy, more expensive to operate, yet faster than the heat pump dryer, then that's a good argument to buy the condenser one.

Remember, at the end of the day you have to live with this thing :)

Look at

The latest "Which" magazine which was fascinating reading as regarding running and lifetime costs, they had calculated running costs with price and payback costs , using Bosch and Miele dryers and the best for running , time and payback was the TOL vented with sensor drying,

They calculated it would take 8 years plus to recoup your costs on a heat pump dryer @ todays prices, personally having extensive input into them all I would always go for a Super De-lux vented, which tend to be quieter, quicker and easier to maintain - which should equate to less going wrong.

Will be interested to see the data on the Beko heat pumps in a few years time!

Any decisions Seamus, or is it on order?

Hmm..

Hey Mike

Still deciding but think its lost its appeal and will stick with the standard T8822C- less to go wrong, and as we try not to iron probably a better bet. Should be able to get it for £650 ish....
