I have a relative with a second hand Miele washer with bearings going out. I wonder if a Bosch 800 might be an affordable replacement. On US models, is it cold water line fill, or does it use both hot and cold water lines? 220V or 110V (the relative has a 220V connection because of the existing Miele. | ||

It has been between 83F and 94F for the past several days
With humidity in the 70% to above range; in other words a typical hot and damp NYC summer. There is *NO* way my AEG Lavamat condenser dryer would operate properly under such conditions. That is unless one turns on the AC and cranks the thing down low enough. That is not going to happen.
Cannot see already using one high electric use appliance (the AC) in aid of another (the condenser dryer). If this weather pattern does not change by weekend washing will be done at home, then taken round to laundromat. Would rather pay a dollar or two for their dryers than heat then vent AC cooled air via the Whirlpool vented dryer. | ||

Laundress, I agree. that is why I use the outside gas dryers in the air conditioning season. I don't even want to use a gas dryer in the basement and pump 150 cu. ft. of air conditioned air per minute out of the house. | ||

New York summers are no more humid than in England, and our condenser dryers cope perfectly well. Besides, with a few million dryers venting to atmosphere, isn't that going to add appreciably to overall humidity? | ||

"New York summers are no more humid than in England, and our condenser dryers cope perfectly well. "
No, am sorry but that is simply not true nor correct. Have been to London and all over England for that matter, and no; your weather does not remotely touch NYC's for humidity, especially during summer months. "London, England has a marine west coast climate (Cfb) whereas New York has a humid subtropical climate (Cfa). " www.london.climatemps.com/vs/new-... Just look at differences between the two for today's weather: www.nytimes.com/weather... See also: www.quora.com/Why-is-New-... If you study a map or globe you'll clearly see NYC is much further south than London, Rome or even Paris for that matter. We also sit right on the Atlantic Ocean which brings all sorts of joys such as hurricanes and high humidity blown up from the south/tropics. | ||

Do you have Heat pump dryers?
I have to say that no matter what the air temp or humidity level is the heat pump dryer does not add heat nor moisture to its surroundings as they run on a completely closed system they also don't like being too cold and have had to put notices to say do not install in outside sheds or garages as the cold climate will make it harder to produce heat, on a plus note they do not rely on the air around them to condense the water so maybe they could be of benefit to people with high levels of humidity ??
I have a rebadged AEG dryer its an absolute marvel it even un balls bedding on the selected cycle it reverses more often for longer no complaints so far :) Austin | ||

Again, it isn't the temps in NYC during summer, but damp
Temps the past few days were rather reasonable for summer; 80's during day and 70's to even upper 60's at night. However the dew point (humidity) levels are another matter Day after day of moistness (dew points at or above 70%).
Even when cool just running fans does not help much as they do nothing for the dampness. Try not to put on the AC when outdoor temps are below 75 or so to save the condenser, but judging by the constant whirl (and dripping) heard outdoors, few of one's neighbors have any such qualms. | ||
