Dryer
What's your verdict on the self-cleaning dryer? Do you find it works? Have you been able to get a look at the condenser?
We have one of them at the store. Haven't sold (or recommended) it once. Don't know, but when I first opened it after it probably stood in the store for a while, the inside smelled kinds moldy.

It's a front fan dryer, so no way to get at the condenser without major disassembly.
Honestly don't know.
Performance is decent, certainly better than some.
If the self cleaning works I can't say, but the filters are pretty good and drying times are constant as long as you clean the filters.
These dryers however are obscenly deep (66cm), kinda noisy compared to simmilar priced dryers and the shiny non-textured drum looks kinda dented quite fast.

I see. I thought you could stick your hand down the front airpath and snap a picture. I've seen a YouTuber do this with his Bosch dryer during cleaning.
Any idea what you'd replace them with?

Don't judge me
The new Bauknecht line speaks to me TBH.
Never had a Hotpoint Indesit machine...
Or slim depth Beko set.
I could get a 50cm deep stack from them which would make a huge difference in my tiny bathroom.
Dryer would be A+ only though, but I got a 220€ cashback from my electricity company because I was pretty efficient for the past months.

Well, f___ my p___ with a rake, mom. X-D
I mean, someone's gotta try them.
To be honest, I find it hard to chose a washer these days. Either I'm not a fan of the brand, or the they are really expensive (Miele, Schulthess, V-Zug, or maybe Asko). And in the case of the last three: not even availabe here. So it would be BSH for me.

"the inside smelled kind of mouldy."
Ah... I wonder if it'll suffer the same fate as car air-conditioning matrices, where a foosty odour occurs?
As much as I admire the efficiency of heatpump machines, a build up of mould/mouldy smell would seriously annoy me. At least a conventional condenser machine is easier to clean and dismantle.

The funky smelling one hadn't even been used (maybe at the factory).
I've heared of that happening with heatpump dryers. Had 2 customers at work complain, some people online.
But we never experienced that.
If what you are putting in is clean, the dryer will stay clean.
Dunno, but my head mostly associates that with the wet-towel-smell-syndrome.
If your towels smell clean while dry but funky while damp you have dirty towels.
Had a family friend complain about that.
Told them to wash their towels at 60C or above every now and then.
They didn't believe me.
They did it.
They believed me.
Alex: Luckily I'm not a virgo and can drive, but maybe saggitari can't make good purchasing decissions...
I'd either be getting them ensured or have them sold on within the warranty, so longevity honestly dosen't matter.
And they have all I need: Extra rinse and prewash options, at least 1 reasonable cottons cycle and high spin.

"Bedding does not tangle"
Too funny! We all have different experiences with similar machines, that's how it always is. But my experience with bedding is totally different. Earlier this week I put two duvets a few pillow cases and two fitted sheets into the dryer to have it tumbled for 20 minutes to get the creases out before hanging the bedlinens outside.
After 15 minutes I heard a banging sound coming from my Siemens dryer. The bed linens were all bundled up in one of the duvet covers and the opening of that cover was tied into a knot. It took quite an effort to get that still wet ball untangled. This is not the first time I had bed linen tangled, but before it was not as bad as this time.
My Siemens heat pump dryer is 2 years old and has that "thing" in the drum to prevent tangling. Yeah right!

Best for tangle free drying
Still hands down was the AEG.
Even when overloaded with bedding it would dry end to end through and through.
Would take some time, and would be creased. But dry.
Wish Miele would have kept the TwinPower design for household dryers.
Beautiful and only true way to get perfect tangle free results.
Also made for verry smooth operation.
Honestly, if Haier would go along and launch their last year's IFA dryers with the 1:1 reverse I would almost be tempted to try that dryer.
But never a Haier wash.
Probably...

Twin Power
This is why I gave my T1 dryer to my mum and kept the T8929WP with the twin power system. You can't beat it for drying bedding or anything else for that matter. It is also faster than the T1. I did notice that the new T1 heat pump dryers which use R290 gas are faster and comparable in time with my one, but I still wouldn't swap it. I have a W1 washer and like it but still have the W5965 which I may hook up again and use.
