Default Which tumble drier...?

Ours has conked out again and we've decided this time it needs replacing

Can anyone point me at a decent, unbiased "Which?"-type site where I can
read reviews to help me decide which model to go for? All those I've
found through google so far seem very much dealer-led.

Right now we haven't even decided between condensing and vented - from
reading around this it's not clear to me which, if any, is the more
economical to run? Given that I already have a ventilation hole through
the wall, is there any justification for a condensing model?

Then maybe I should be thinking about a gas one - how much cheaper are
the running costs (given that presumably they need CORGI'ing every year
for safety?

Thanks

drier...)


A drier is a waste of time, space and money. Get a humidistaic
dehumidifier and put that in the house, either in the closet or near it
.. Now, everything comes out of the washing machine, onto the hanger and
into the closet. By morning its all dry.

Saves time, saves space, saves energy, saves hassle.
