Anyone know anything about condenser dryers?

[prdarling]

Wondering if i can put one in a cellar (regular Victorian house cellar with no heating or windows) or will I get condensation/mould etc

Thanks

We had a John Lewis one, all the moisture goes into a tank which you empty. I can't see any issue with putting one in a cellar other than than the usual electricity one if the cellar is damp :-)

We have one. I think that it would not work very well in a cellar. I have ours in the kitchen and I still have to open the windows if it is running for more than a half an hour. The drying heat on mine is not too high and it is really better for finishing things off rather than drying the whole load from wet.

modern washer dryers condense through the waste water pipe thing meaning you don't get any issues like you are concerned about.

And the washing usually comes out still soaking after a 3 hour dry

I had one in a flat some 5 years ago - bought from argos not the cheapest but not a fortune and it was SUPER. Put your waahing in and the water is dried out into a plastic bottle that you empty...it was amazing how much water was in the clothes from one wash. I found mine worked well when I did it on HOT...but that was fine for those damp towels, sheets etc and heavy jeans.

I would not hesitate to get another.

Unlike cheaper dryers where you need to be able to run the venting hose outside to get rid of the steam, these dryers deal with all the steam and water internally so all you do is plug them in and empty the water out regularly..

I have had one in the cellar for the last 3 years. No problems yet.

Mine was great! Dried clothes from being spun really fast, was all digital so eventold you how long it would take, although always did it faster than it said:-) no problems at all with heat or condensation.

I have one in my airing cupboard next to my bedlinen and towels. No problem at all with condensation - not that I care. I would just have the housekeeper re-wash the lot. I am a complete bitch you know (smirk).
