  • seeking small condensing tumble dryer.

    From jkn@21:1/5 to All on Thu Mar 6 20:55:10 2025
    Hi all
    a domestic appliance question: does anyone know of a 'compact'
    tumble dryer (less than 7kg, say) that is condensing type rather than
    vented? I have been unable to find any.

    If it was up to me I'd make a dehumidifier cabinet, but that would not
    be domestically acceptable...

    Thanks
    J^n

    What does 'compact' actually relate to? Do you need less than 60cm width, shallow depth or height?

    AO lets you filter by width, height and depth as well as kg:

    https://ao.com/l/condenser_tumble_dryers/1/17-18/ https://ao.com/l/heat_pump_tumble_dryers/1/17-126/

    but I can't think of a case where filtering by kg makes sense - if there's
    one with better capability in a smaller space, it would be excluded by a kg filter.

    Heat pump dryers are becoming more popular than condensing from the manufacturers - because of legislation

    BUT
