Tumble dryer recommendations

[David Prosser]

Can anyone recommend a tumble dryer that meets these requirements please.

Condenser location dictates non-vented, don't mind if it heat pump or not but must be able to remove condenser unit to clean as I had a heat pump one before but as the pump was attached to the condenser unit I couldn't remove the condenser to clean it out so it ended up getting smelly through the summer as it wasn't used.

NO programs just heat level and timer, I can't get on with the myriad of options they all are too hot.

Ideally pumps the water out to the drain rather than collects in a reservoir.

thanks ?

BOSCH Serie 6 Self Cleaning Condenser.

BOSCH - WTW85490GB - Condenser tumble dryer with heat pump - https://www.bosch-home.co.uk/product-list/WTW85490GB

Something like this one which we have at home, used very day in our home and only failure was snapped drive belt because it had been overloaded with wet towels one day. One morning to fix by BOSCH within 5 days from reporting fault.

BOSCH pride themselves on repairing their machines if at all possible - thus good for the planet. I pay D & G/AO.com a small monthly insurance premium (circa £5) for repair or if not possible they will provide a free replacement with the latest equivalent model. A++ energy rating but not his scheme has changed recently to report efficiency in a different way.

Really well constructed inside and quiet.

Ours connects into utility room sink U bend 'somehow'.

Doesn't really square with the non replaceable drum bearings in their recent washing machines.

they replaced whole drum assembly on our washer - two man job.

zero CO2, no condensing problems.

Not going to happen, unless Bosch are footing the bill under warranty.
Out of warranty, what could have been an easily repaired machine ends up as scrap.

Machine was insured for repair or replacement so that explains why they - D & G/BOSCH - decided to repair by replacing whole drum rather than replacing complete machine.
