Anyone got experience of these vs a conventional vented dryer? Our tumble dryer has just broke and I'm considering getting a condenser version as we want to move it to where there presently isn't a vent.

Had one, only gave us problems from about 3 months old. Changed to normal and glad. Would never get another condenser again. Heard others say the same.

I'm on my second and their great. Both machines have been Bosch and I've never had a problem (touch wood). Perfect if like me you want to put the drier in a place where its not practical to vent outside.

Perhaps it depends on usage. Ours is on 2-3 times a day every day. HID is OCD lol

Condenser is the way to go imo - unless directly vented.

Sounds daft but have you pressed the reset button on your old one!

Our 8kg load Indesit condenser/dryer is fantastic. Wouldn't want the old vented one back if it came with money strapped to it.

I've had a Beko condenser dryer for years, not had a problem with it thus far. So long as you remember to clear out the filters and empty the water tank regularly... 
On our 2nd one. The first got handed to one of our kids. Both dryers are still going strong, 9yrs and 4yrs old. Wouldn't go back to a vented one.

Mine is working a treat after a couple of years.

Had a Zanussi one about 11 years... never had an issue but I do insist on the missus opening a window when on as it does cause some condensation on our windows when very cold out... and it's on most nights during the winter too.

Yep ours is very good. Only had it a year but have had no issues at all so far with it. It now lives in one of our big internal storage cupboards hidden away and its nice not having to vent it.
