Also saw them in B and Q, alongside some 199 Beko washing machines.

Just picked up the dryer - great if you don't have a vent in the wall, mines gone under the stairs:)

Yep used it last night , does what is says on the tin. Was looking at these a few months ago and left it as the condenser versions were way more expensive than the vented.Delighted with it.

Folks has anyone come across any good deals on a 7kg minimum washer/dryer? It's not for me, but for someone who actually has a condenser dryer and washing machine separate and looking to replace with a washer dryer. They will also be selling the condenser dryer (perfect condition).

id tell them not to do it.
i had one, they're a melt!

Take ages to dry the clothes...
well mine did anyway!!

cormie

Well I was suggesting to them just to use it as a secondary option, with the primary option being a dehumidifier. Space is a bit of an issue hence replacing two, with a two in one.

Bad move. Unless they are going into the premiership of W/Ds i'd advise against it. Virtually anyone who has come from a 2 in 1 to 2 separate units would never go back. The absolute only benefit is the space saved.

Negatives fare outweigh the positives here I'm afraid.

cormie

Why what's so bad about them? :eek:

Chance of staying without washing machine/dryer is higher. Energy saving rating is B or lower. Only good thing is space saving.

We have used a washer dryer for years due to space. Our Zanussi died recently and we replaced it with a Bosch. Works greet but more mid to high end pricing than budget. Was a little over €600.

cormie

Thanks for the replies folks. So my friend might be ok if they splash out at least €600 for one? Would it be up to a standard condenser dryer in terms of quality and speed of drying etc then I wonder?

Thanks OP just picked up one of these, been without a dryer for almost a year so looking forward to not having clothes on the radiators anymore

As I mentioned earlier Cormie, you're correct. You do get what you pay for with the combi. Adox could be well worth a PM for more info and specifics on his purchase.

Ordered one myself earlier, Powercity guy said today is last day at this price, so if you want one get ordering...

Absolutely no problem sharing the model no on here or by PM if needed.
Only have it about six weeks but so far so good. Had the last one approx ten years. Spent quite a lot of time and research before buying.

cormie

Please do and please state where you bought and if you researched best price if so

Also, if you could compare to how the drying works and how long it takes compared to cheaper models or compared to a standalone that would be brilliant!

wheres me jumpa

Purchased. Thanks OP!

504 kw/h per year is a lot but you need to remember that its based on 160 cycles per year which is the EU average.

Electricity prices in Ireland cost €24.1 per 100kWh

So thats Euro 121.46 per year to run your dryer. For 200 euro more you can get a dryer that uses about half the power which would save you about 60 euro a year so the difference is paid back in about 3 years.

Now all this above is based on the average EU use of the dryer. I would say that of days that there is rain Ireland is very high up their though the amount of rain will be not too high so it would be fair to say that we are probably bigger users of a dryer than those in the south of France, Spain, Portugal, Italy etc. So even if you were to say that it would save you 90 euro a year then buying a dryer that is not high energy rated here is a false economy unless you are a landlord and are not paying the bills.

Also with some of the condenser dryers you can take the pipe from the back and put it in the waste pipe for the washing machine so you never have yo empty the tank but clean the filter. So let you some do not.

We have a combo in our rental apartment and this type of dryer is terrible. Save up and get a proper one if at all possible.

you need to switch supplier - I'm paying 14c per kWh.

I did a search for https://www.google.ie/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=cost+of+kwh+in+ireland

so sorry my numbers are wrong but its still better to buy a more efficient dryer as it will save you more money than paying less up front.

Just for those buying the Beko Condenser Dryer.
Bought one approx 4 years ago, albeit a slightly different model, and have never had a single issue with it.
We give the clothes, especially towels, a second run on the spin cycle in the washing machine before popping them into the dryer, then they dry out even faster.
Great machine.

Price up to 219 today. Damn it. Would have liked to get that model at that price.

Judging by what I found its not such a saving (granted my sums might be wrong) .
An a+ rated dryer I was looking at uses 2.72kw per cycle. This uses 4.22kw per cycle.

A 1.5kw difference is 18c per cycle. The a rated dryer was €470. (270 difference)
€270÷.18=1500 cycles to make your money back?

Could be right but an 18cent per cycle difference seems low. The A rated one probably has a detector for the clothes for being dry also.

By the time you add on standing charges and PSO levy etc. you'll probably find that your average rate is a lot closer to 20c/kWh unless you have colossal usage.
