Looking into replacing our condenser drier in the next 12 months, current machine is starting to fail (doesn't always turn off when the clothes are dry, just runs on cold for an hour. Gives random "water full" alarms even when the tank is empty, etc) and i'm liking the look of the low power consumption of the heat pump units, compared to the 2.2kw of our condenser drier..
Couple of Qs,
Do they run as hot as conventional machines? Thinking i might be able to dry pretty much everything with less danger of shrinking stuff (my speciality).
Does it heat/damp up the surrounding area? Our current machine puts out a bit of warmth and i'll need to turn the radiator back on if the new machine is too well insulated.
Main interest is the power use of under 900w which should be covered easily by our solar panels (apart from those darkest times in winter). Looking at Hotpoint & Indesit units around £400-£450
