Hi Everyone,

I'm looking to buy a drier which I intend, for the foreseeable future, to
put in the bathroom - basically as this is the only place I have room for
it!! As there is nowhere to vent it out of, I'm going to get one of the
condenser types (does anyone know if they're any good?)

eat less power than non condenser ones, and cost more.

my problem is
getting the juice to run it on.

Obviously there is no plug point directly in the bathroom, however there is
a single socket in an airing cupboard in the bathroom which currently powers
the pump for the power-shower and which I was hoping to adapt to run the
drier as well. My first problem is the actual plug socket itself. At the
moment it is a single point which I presume I could convert to a double
socket to accommodate both however a colleague of mine suggested that a dual
socket extension (with a small lead) plugged into this and then fixed to the
wall of the cupboard would be sufficient and a much easier solution. This
sounds a bit dodgy to me (like potentially overloading the plug if anyone
has a shower whilst drying), am I being stupid and missing something
obvious?

The power eaten by a power shower pump is small, and wont cause
overloading. The real issue here is the mixture of the dryer with the
damp/wet environment.


The second problem concerns the distance between the machine and the
position of the 'new' socket; I'd need a machine with a cable of around 3m
long to cover the distance. If-needs-be is it quite straight forward for a
suitable trained person to put an extended cable on to the machines?

sure.

I'm
presuming it's a bit dodgy to be having normal extension cables lying around
in a bathroom albeit tucked well out of the way

right.

Any help and tips much appreciated!!

I can't suggest you do it since youre putting a drier in a wet
bathroom. Others will doubtles comment more on this.
