The tank has never filled up during drying.

If used more than once without emptying?

You are supposed to empty it after each load.

That sounds like 'a chore'. ;-)

We frequently don't, thogh.

Ok.

It takes a few seconds - slide it out, tip over sink, replace.

So is it effectively a sealed tank, all but a drain hole (that was a
fill hole, at the top)?

It's a big tank, and the total caoacity is that plus the holding tank
inside the machine (I know that's big as well, I've looked).

Sorry, there is more than one tank in use here?

Effectively. The tank you empty is at the top of the machine (in the same
place as the soap powder drawer on a washing machine, and the same
dimensions panel-wise, but full depth).

So, given this tank would end up at about eye level for me (at 6' 2")
it may not be so easy for the Mrs to empty (the person most likely to
be emptying it) at 5' 4"? (Did I see some of the White Knight TD's
look like they have been built upside down)?

There is a large holding tank inside the machine that collects water.
When it's full, a sensor starts a pump that moves the water to the
removable tank. If the removable tank fills, a bypass sends it back to
the holding tank. A sensor there detects potential overflow and stops the
machine.

Ah, cool, thanks.

So, you still haven't answered my question Bob and that was 'if you
could wave a magic wand and have it plumbed in, why wouldn't you?'

We were round my Uncles one day and discussing his old open fire and
tiled fire surround. He hinted that he might like a wall mounted gas
fire there but it would be a lot of effort. The Mrs asked", "If you
could wave a magic wand and it be done, would you?" He thought for a
second and said ... "Well, yes."

So, the Mrs looked and me and said "Let's go home and get the tools"
and we did and it was all done within a few days (he didn't mind about
that, it was just going past that first step that was holding him up).

My point was that if we got a condensing TD and no matter how 'easy'
it was to empty, we *would* plumb it in because we would rather not
*have to* do it manually if we didn't need to?
