General Electric Vent-less condensation dryer

[COLOR=#333399; font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: 12pt]I recently purchased a General Electric vent-less condensation dryer at a substantial discount for my apartment.  After reading all the pros and cons of using condensation dryer, I was somewhat hesitant, but had no choice.  The Landlord did run the power for me (220) and did have the plumber install the needed plumbing for a washer.  Venting was not possible, so the need for vent-less.  After owning this product for a month, I can honestly say I am impressed.  The cycles take marginally longer than with a vented dryer, but not so long that it is unreasonable.  Towels are the only items that do not work well on the automatic cycle.  The timed dry at medium temperature  (never use high heat or hot water) for one hour is perfect.  I have also found that my laundry is fluffier and softer than with a conventional vented dryer.  I am impressed, and believe me, impressing me is a hard thing to accomplish.  The Bosch was a consideration, but the cost was prohibitive.  Same with the LG.  This GE dryer is remarkable and saves me the issue of going to the Laundromat.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=#333399; font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: 12pt]Thank you dear Launderess,[/COLOR]

 

[COLOR=#333399; font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: 12pt]My dryer is exactly like the one you posted.  Although it has been discontinued, I purchased a brand new, in the box, unused dryer for $450.00.  Could not pass up that deal.  I am very satisfied with the performance.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=#333399; font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: 12pt]I appreciate you posting the links.  For some reason, I cannot get my photos to load properly.  It must be advanced stupidity.[/COLOR]

Aren't these made by Samsung?

YW, Anytime

Though how you manage with a condenser dryer with the heat and humidity of this past few days I don't know. *LOL* Indeed the entire summer while cool has been rather moist in NYC.

Our condenser dryer has been out of use since early last Spring and will remain so until the first frost.

GE Condensation Dryer

[COLOR=#333399; font-family: verdana,geneva]Central Air Conditioning is the key.  I keep my home at 74 degrees with a humidity sensor set at 45 percent.  Not having any problems.  It is always cool and dry inside.[/COLOR]

Oh one knew "how"

But cannot see using a machine that increases indoor ambient temperature and moisture levels when one is running another that does the opposite. Again especially given Con Edison's rates. *LOL*

We tend to leave the AC off during much of the day with the dark drapes drawn but windows open. Place will remain cool until about bedtime which allows one to prepare and clear way dinner before it becomes "warm". Besides one rather likes fresh air as opposed to keeping the place shut with AC running.

Fresh air vs air conditioning

As I am originally from Florida, I am used to leaving the air conditioning on all day. The only time I open the windows is when it is cool and dry outside. My home stays cleaner without open windows. Which is important for allergy sufferers like me. I can appreciate the excessive rates that con ed charges, but I cannot live without a/c. Walking in to a warm home would make me run to the thermostat and crank it down. I leave my thermostat set at 75 whether I am home or not. When I leave, I just close the shutters to keep the sun out and the unit rarely turns on. As I am surrounded by other apartments, they act as insulation for me.
Laundress, your knowledge is impressive and I really appreciate all your post.

Stay well,
Richard
