vented tumble drier
 
Does anyone know where I could buy a vented tumble drier. I think they are called that, :unsure:. One where you can make the pipe go thru to the outside wall, so all the hot air doesnt stay in the laundry. I dont really want the one that has the pipe you have to keep attaching to the back of it every time you want to use it..

I havent seen any in any of the shops I looked around, and ebay doesnt have them, except in uk.
Thanks !!

We have one with this setup. I thought it was pretty standard? I had to buy the extra kit to duct it through the rear wall but it was pretty straightforward to do, although you do have to drill a big pretty big hole.

Fantastic :thumbsup:. Nope, I dont think they come as standard like that here. You get the detatchable vent pipe, which I hate. Maybe you are meant to ask for the kit to do it like you have.
Im just over damp walls, and teeny bits of fluff all over the place
Thanks !!

If you don't want the hassle of having to install a vent either, get a dryer with a condenser. We got a Bosch, however they're not cheap compared to standard dryers.

(And we've now moved into an apartment with built-in dryer, so the Bosch is gathering dust in the storage cage in the basement. Anybody want a dryer? :) )

Yes, I think that may be the way to go then, sounds easier than drilling a hole thru the wall
Thank you
