Condenser dryer location

CDOYLE74

I'd love to get a tumble dryer, but don't have a space to put it. No space in kitchen, no utility or under stairs space. Was thinking of getting a good quality condenser dry and putting in the attic. I use the attic space a lot, its well vented so in winter I dry clothes up there anyway on a clothes horse.
Biggest issue would be actually getting it through the trap door (have a stira stairs). Any thoughts on suitability of the attic?

Try and make room for it.
For safety reason:
1: Risk of fire in your attic space
2: Risk of carrying wet clothes up 2 flights of stairs.
3: The noise from the drier would be going through the joists to each bedroom.

Sorry, but a condenser in the attic just sounds like a crazy idea to me.

I have mine in The shed - works well for us.

Don't have electricty in shed, so that's not currently an option.

Not only that but more than likely your insurance wont cover you in event of a fire if you put a dryer in the attic, I'm open to correction.

CDOYLE74

Yep, another reason...good to talk

If you have a 600mm wide press unit in your kitchen you could maybe remove it?
Assuming you own the house like.

Kitchen is small, barely enough storage as is, wouldn't want to loose a press. Will figure something else out

Is there a spare bedroom?

CDOYLE74

Yes, would consider that

That's probably the simplest thing really. Just be mindful of neighbours at night unless you're in a detached house.

My dehumidifier has a laundry setting which dries clothes better than my washer-drier. It doesn't take up much space. Delonghi dessicant dehumidifier.

Cheers, will take a look
