Clothes dryer recommendations....

I have hun, they are upwards of $1500 and way out of my budget. I like the sound of one that stops once it knows it's all done! Thing is though, if the normal ones are 2 star and drain putt loads of electricity, and a gas one uses 1/2 drying time, 1/2 running costs and 1/2 environmental impact I wonder if it might be worth it long term Probably would be but we need a new mattress, couches, dining room table and the list goes on so I don't really want to spend that much when others around $400 might be ok! I would probably mainly use it when Im overloaded with towels and sheets and would dry clothes on the horses.

That's always the problem I have too Tan. I know there are better options out there in terms of environmentally friendly etc - either gas or ones like the Miele one my SIL has that dries so much faster than mine, but the money tree just doesn't produce enough and there always seems to be some big ticket item or three that needs buying at the same time.

I agree with you that in the long term, the more expensive gas one is probably well and truly worth its purchase price, but . . .

Is that a condenser one hun?? See all them are 2 star energy rating but I guess if it's quicker they will be more economical - argghhh gotta go to HN and just check them out I guess and while Im there must buy a new bed before my back gives out - ridiculous, but that's another thread

ETA: Holy toledo batman - just noticed your ticker!! Wooooooo!!! Can't wait to hear all about your newest princess!!!! xoxo

Yeah, its the condenser one and I think it has honeycomb drying, which is gentler on clothes. Or maybe its their washing machine that has honeycomb washing - not sure. Just know I have Miele laundry appliance envy ;-)

I know. Cool huh. Getting closer. Hopefully this one won't leave me waiting as long as I and E did!
