Tumble Dryer efficiency vs. Price

[Bod ...]

It's packed up. Grundig heatpump A++.
I'm thinking of chucking it and buying a cheap one
Beko do a tumble dryer B rated £269
Candy do a heatpump A++ £369
Beko do a heatpump A++ £469.

Question is how do I work out the difference in efficiency between B rated and A++ per year?

Is it in your kitchen or out in the shed?

Any tumble dryer experts on here? No heat!

Hi We have an AEG Protex Lavatherm tumble dryer. Only a couple of years old but hardly used. Everything works as it should but no heat being produced. No faults or warning lights on now although my wife thinks she saw all three lights on last time she emptied it - filter, water tray and...

In my shed

In my shed

Read my thread, could be the problem same as mine if you have no heat.

See how much you use it.

I have solar panels and make a point of drying laundry on sunny days, so a simple vented drier was cheap to buy and mostly cheap to run.

my gas one is cheap to run with a spare one in shed ready for when it packs up as they dont make them anymore

We have a solar-powered drier - it's called a 'washing line'..

We had one of those when we lived in Australia . Worked very well.

We brought the line back to England but has never worked as well. Strange as its exactly the same line.

It won't open . Is that the problem you had.

I think it was Odds that told me that the Shed is not good.

No. Mine wouldn’t get warm. Turns out, you can’t use them in a cold shed. I bought a basic drier but then when it was in my house, the heat pump drier started working! Gave it to my son and daughter in law and it’s been working fine ever since. They have it in their house.

In what way did it not work ?

That seems odd to me, why would it not get hot?

Couldn't bring himself to go out there and use it?
