Did we know Kenmore put their name on a combo? |

But then when you go to look at it, every place you go after on line has a Sears ad directed at you. Next door neighbors just bought a condenser dryer and 2 1/2 hours to dry a load of towels and a big jug of water to empty out, I dont think so. Give me a simple 45 minutes max and just a screen to clean.

A friend's 24-year old son and his new husband moved to a rental house with an awful basement, accessed by a steep, narrow set of stairs. Guess where the washer and dryer were! At the boys' request, the landlord installed new laundry equipment in a little cove by the kitchen. That appliance? A new LG combo (condenser dryer).
They are happy with it so far, but are adjusting to having to wash and dry a load before continuing on to the next. |

wayupnorth, the payoff with a condenser dryer is that it's more efficient and that slow, steamy drying gives you lovely fluffy towels. I went from a vented dryer to a condenser and would never go back to vented... |

Well, a condenser dryer is not more efficient, a vented dryer always uses less energy to dry a certain load than a condenser dryer would use for the same load. Somehow European manufacturers were able to get a B rating for efficiency for their condenser dryers and a C for most vented ones. Probably due to fooling around with the capacity and so making it look more efficient.

That's why I used a vented (AEG) dryer in the summer and a condenser one (Miele) in the winter season in my previous apartment. Due to less space I needed to downsize and decided it was best to get a heat pump dryer. But here I am line drying more things than in the old apartment because I have a good sized covered balcony, so even more saving on the drying front.

This may or may not be a problem depending on the person...
Historically, I've tended to spread laundry out through the week. Why should the fun of laundry be restricted to one day? I can easily get by doing a maximum of one load a day. So having a machine tied up from start of wash to the conclusion of drying wouldn't be a huge problem.
But, of course, a person who does multiple loads a day would find it a pain (at best) or impossible (at worst) to adjust to having one machine tied up for the entire process. |
