  • Cheers. Unfortunately this lives in an out building so a heat pump dryer probably isn't suitable.

    How have you found it? How come you're not using it in your new place? In the long term we were wondering about a washer dryer combo at some point, but was also looking at heat pump ones.

    @withered_preacher - that's sort of what I thought. Other than telling me to clean the condenser it works fine. Hoping if I repair it and it stays where it is, it should keep going until we move or get something new.

    Plus I guess it would keep it from a landfill as no one is going to buy a spares and repairs collected right now.

  • It’s been great. Used it every day for 5 years. We actually have a washer dryer, also SMEG but it’s too inefficient to have the machine tied up for 4 hours doing one 6kg load. You can only wash 8kg if you dry it separately for some reason.

    Bought a new one same as washing machine for the house because it’s on display in the kitchen so didn’t want mismatched. Also, we went massive at 10kg. Kids need so much washing doing.

  • We’ve got a heat pump tumble dryer which lives in the garage... has no problem drying clothes.

    Best thing about it is the app and auto dosing - the washing machine automatically adds washing liquid and softener depending on the weight of washing and what programme then pings you on the app when it’s done. The tumble dryer then recognises what programme the washing machine did and pre selects the right tumble dryer settings based on that cycle. Then pings you on the app when it’s done.

    Would recommend.
