In the EU one has a lot of choices and many factors to consider. Don't get me wrong; this is a good thing.
However, those of us in the US are stuck with what can be done with 120 volts :-(
This means that too high a temperature is never a worry. We just have to contend with longer water heating times (if needed) and much longer drying times. We also have a smaller number of models available.
If one lives in an older building, bringing in 240v is not an option. Neither is venting nor running a gas line. I'm only aware of one ventless 120v condensing dryer, a smallish Equator, so even if one has space for 2 machines a dedicated washer is not really an option. One is sort of stuck with a washer/dryer combo, the Equator if room permits, and a heated drying rack.
I'm a bit jealous of the options you all have ;-)
