I rarely use our tumble dryer, I have a full size one and only use it if I have lots of big stuff to dry like towels and bedding.
But most of the time, I hang washing outside even in cold breezy weather, gives the clothes a good airing a bit of line dried freshness. I bought a dehumidifier last year for £129 which i run overnight with the clothes on the clothes horse and shut the door in the spare room, and the clothes are all dry and ready to be put away in the morning. This sucks all the moisture out the clothes, and dries them, at the fraction of a cost of a tumble dryer. I rarely put clothes on the radiators unless they are slightly damp, as wet clothes brings damp and condensation into the flat. And its important that your home is ventilated to stop mould building up, which is bad for your health. |

Ben, I've just updated my email address as it was about ten years out of date. Sorry if you sent one and it bounced. |

Hi Ben,
I had one of these when I first left home in a rented flat. Alongside the 5kg washer we had at the time, it was fine for drying bedding and towels so they weren't hanging all over the flat, which kept the clothes horse free for jeans, t-shirts and the like. I still think that a bog standard, reversing, vented timer dryer is far better than any condenser, sensor, heat pump nonsense. We've got a full sized Miele condenser as there's no where to vent a dryer in our house, but given the chance, I would love to have a basic dryer like a full sized White Knight. My hubby keeps saying he wanted to build a tandoori oven in the back garden - I've told him he can do that if I can dig downwards and put a bloody dryer vent in LOL! Chris |

Hi Chris, I don't think you can beat basic products that just get the job done. Ben |
