​@@How-to-repairI have a bosch vented tumble dryer but could do with a 2nd dryer to run along side due to a busy business would this dryer be OK and safe for a busy dog grooming and pet bedding laundry service business who does hoover where the fluff filter goes often

I have not made more videos at the moment as I've been overloaded on other work, but in my opinion, if you can go with a vented dryer they are far more reliable. I still like the Electrolux/Zanussi type machines as they are reasonably well made, but the Hotpoint and indesit I'm a very basic system and easy to work on

Iain, I had a Creda condenser (T630CW) for 20 yrs until recently but switched to heat pump to reduce elec cost (and the condesner efficicency was questionable given the humidity generated). Old dryers *seem* more energy-hungry than newer ones (heat pumps not included). Paul, the site author, might have a view on that. At a typical 2.5kwh, be prepared for a full cottons load to cost over £1 from Oct (current cost at national capped rate, c 80p).

I can't see what he is meaning as this is a vented tumble dryer and only warm air passes through it so therefore it makes no difference if it's aluminium or the universal type, moisture is more likely to condense on cold metal than it is with the fabric type, so in my opinion I think he is totally incorrect. Please remember to subscribe to the channel has that really helps us

metal ones are used now because plastic is combustible. Lint can get stuck on thin mesh plastic pipes that some manufacturers provide which can result in a fire and the plastic is combustible too which makes the fire worse.

The more rigid metal ones - rather than 'foil' - are best as they don't so easily compress and restrict exhaust.

​@@marcusstewart3044 what ridged ones do you recommend.

some tumble dryers use plastic, some used glass depending on the model of the machine but most tumble dryers nowadays are using plastic

this is because there are different types of bearings from washing machines. glad we could help you, this is for you kzfaq.infoe432SAb2g08 please remember to subscribe as that's what keeps this channel going. Thanks 👍

I don't think the manufacturers do it this way they just produce model numbers for the dryers and this may change between the stores that you buy. This is how manufacturers work with superstores to help them with the price comparison. Do you know when they state you won't find it cheaper, that's because one model is associated to one superstor. I hope that explains it reasonably well for you

@@How-to-repair alright

the indesit idv75 was the replacement of the indesit idv65

Marcus let me thank you for the very long reply but I am going to respond we have a slight difference in opinion. If you speak to any engineer they will tell you that the heat pump dryers on average last 5 years maximum and when they go wrong it's normally a gas problem or compressor or pcb. this makes them unaffordable to repair and this is engineers, the general public have no chance of being able to ever repair this type of appliance. I do agree with you that entry-level heat pump tumble dryers ar around £350 you pay for what you get, I also agree with you that they are highly efficient but take three times the time to dry the clothes. but when you look at mid-market machines costing £500 there is no justification in my eyes, I would prefer to spend the £300 difference on creating the energy to be able to run the tumble dryer. the technology in heat pump dryers, a compressor is used to create heat on the drying side and use the cooling side to condense moist air into a liquid, if this circuit is not maintained or gas levels slightly fluctuate then the temperatures will not be reached, one of the most common questions that come into our website is our heat pump dryer is taking forever to dry and this is always down to either poor maintenance which the general public is unable to do, I realize that not all people have the capability or space to be able to put solar but at the moment in my eyes the cost of the machine is not worth it, the reliability is not there yet and manufacturers are still making machines with built-in obsolescence. my whole workshop is run on solar no grid tie so iam a fan of it but not with these dryers sorry Thank you For leaving a comment this is for you kzfaq.infoe432SAb2g08 please remember to subscribe as that's is what keeps this channel going.

@@How-to-repair Paul, thanks for the kind, detailed reply. You're the expert, so I'm interested in your claim that HP dryers lack longevity (of which I know nothing). As you'd expect, Which? hasn't reported on this as they're too new for much data to be available - but you know from experience and discussion with colleagues. I've had one for a few years, used once or twice a week, so early days yet, but if expensive repair is needed by more than several % of machines in the first say several years (or if efficiency noticeably reduces), as you suggest, that's a significant downside. I guess we'd have to agree that the more expensive elecy gets - and we know it is - the stronger the argument for HP dryers EVEN IF they are less durable than old tech. For as I pointed out via the Which? figures, three years of 'extra' elecy cost could pay for a cheap HP dryer - so assuming you're correct and they could have to be scrapped after five years as uneconomic repair, in purely cost (not environmental) terms they've paid for themselves. So I disagree with you on economics grounds (but not engineering/durability as you're the 'man'!) Thus, the putative five-yr life of a cheap HP dryer at average (Which?) annual cycles saves, conservatively, £75/annum - £375 over five yrs. That £375 will be £500+ from October. This well pays for a cheaper dryer. And of course *most* will last longer than five years and perhaps nearer 10, which to me makes them a -no-brainer'. For me, though not all, longer drying time doesn't matter (and there is the minor advantage of better care of clothes per cooler temp). IF one has solar, meeting most of old tech dryer elecy cost, it makes more sense to use old tech as the appliance is (i) cheaper - though not necessarily by much - and, your point, is more durable and user-repairable (and I've repaired my old condenser dryer as the tech's just within my competence). BUT most don't, and won't, have solar, and that's not going to change soon, thus I'd argue what matters is the above economic analysis. What we know is that electrical appliance efficiency is more prominent than ever, given that real terms elecy price is greater than ever and in 'heat' appliances can dwarf the purchase price over several years. On a tangent, irritatingly Which? analysis shows you can't trust the official efficiency rating of appliances either. Their 'real world' use tests show that, other things being equal, appliances with lower ratings can be more efficient than those with higher. I look forward to reading your opinions of the dryers you've bought to investigate and have, of course, subscribed. Thanks for such useful, helpful info for when the likes of my washer breaks down... Finally, I was interested in your latest Indesit dryer strip-down. We all know Whirlpool Corp's been stung with dryer fires - and you've confirmed they've enhanced the safety of newer ones. I wonder how long manufacturers will make old tech dryers? They'll be under pressure to go 'environment-friendly'... I might also add that though I argue for HP dryers, I'm not nearly so convinced by the air source HP stuff gov't pushes, which I think is madness to and for the average h/holder, not least 'cos they'll see no reduction in their fuel bills given the cost of elecy (partic without solar) and the huge upfront cost. potential installation disruption and lack of competent servicing engineers nationally. This is tech for at least a decade hence.

I am really a great lover of the technology with heat pump dryers, 1st with regards your clothing lasting longer because of the cool dry, I tumbling the clothes for 3 hours means more fibers will come out of the cloths, 2nd there is no economical way to repair a tumble dryer that needs gas the repair from an engineers point of view will be in excess of £150 that's if you can get an engineer was willing to take on the job. if a heat pump dryer lasts 5 years and then is unrepairable this means it will go to the scrap. if a vented or condenser tumble dryer goes wrong after 8 years it is still affordable to repair. the cost of money saving is one aspect when it comes to saving money with electricity, but the cost to the environment is an unacceptable Factor the right to repair act is coming out because of this I do not know the exact costs of recycling the machine but it is an unacceptable level when you consider all the steel has to be smelted down to be reused and this uses vast amount of energy but not to you. we could both rant on lol but we have a slight disagreement on the way that we look at things, let's just say we agree to disagree. as soon as I see these heat pump dryers lasting I will be the first to praise them, when they use steel pipes on the cooling system instead of stainless steel they are guaranteed to rust over a period of time and their therfore leaking gas.
