Tumble dryer...

Want to buy a tumble dryer but not sure what to go for.

Heat pumps are efficient, but expensive. And have read mixed reviews on them - some say they're the best thing ever, others say they're a waste of time.

Vented are cheap and simple, but require a vent. (I've only ever used a vented).

So thought about the condenser option. Are these on par with a vented machine, and just collect the water instead? Or are they worse with drying times etc?

Your thoughts are welcomed!

Thanks for the input, I'll get looking at heat pumps then.

Anything I need to look out for in particular? Or just grab whichever is most suitable in terms of load size?

Just got a heat pump one. A Hisense DHQA902U for about £320 after discounts/cashback. 9kg, auto sensing drying etc, reversing drum and 2 years warranty.

Was sick of having clothes horses in the house everywhere and adding to the humidity inside.

Only had it a couple of weeks but it's been great so far.

Loads more efficient than a regular one. Will probably make back the extra spent over a cheap vented one very swiftly.

I'm not seeing that price anywhere?
